I'm glad nobody's taking this as a criticism of the Obama campaign. If anything, it shows that the campaign is being run much like most other campaigns.
I did find the role reversal humorous though. It's almost a cliche that white candidates have for decades now made sure there were black folks in the picture and on their posters.
Oh, I'm sure the rabid right-wing media types will make a big deal about this little deal and scream to high heaven.
But, to me, it's oddly reassuring. It means a politician (and wife and handlers) are still politicians.
