Was talking to my sister in Ga. early this morning. She was watching the news in bed, (the foot-hacking- doctor "whore"), anyhow, she about spit up her spleen when she saw footage of the White House Trick or Treat photo-op and there was a "black" child in white-face standing in front of Obama for treats. I am not kidding here. Anyone else see it? She didn't quite take in the whole context of the kid's 'costume', but said the look on Leader Obamao's face was "WTF?" when he came face-to-face with the kid. Would love a link to that pic. As to celebrating Halloween, whatever ... I'm waiting to see how the couple/family that has been said to not celebrate Christmas plans on handling that holiday.
