Which is exactly what Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, known for saying profoundly idiotic things, is saying about Obama's media coverage.
The problem that we have with this president is that we don't know him," he said. "He was not vetted, folks. ... He was not vetted, because the press fell in love with the black man running for the office. 'Oh gee, wouldn't it be neat to do that? Gee, wouldn't it make all of our liberal guilt just go away? We can continue to ride around in our limousines and feel so lucky to live in an America with a black president.' Okay that's wonderful, great scenario, nice backdrop. But what does he stand for? What does he believe? ... So we don't know. We just don't know.
So basically, what the even-more-Black-than-Obama Steele is saying, is that we've elected Obama based on hype that was generated thanks to reverse racism ... or something.
Owch. Poor brain.

The common stupidity of people, simply enough.
Though do keep in mind: Palin wasn't voted into office, was she now? ;)
