Photo Unequal-Opportunity?
U.S. President George W. Bush walks into a curtained off area to meet with African American leaders before a rally in the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, October 27, 2004. @
~Is this curtain to stop photos of the President with African-American leaders from circulating among his racist supporters, or the leaders' constituents? Who has more to lose? Who has more to gain? More importantly, who asked for the curtain?
Look at how many people are stuffed inside. It must have been an unscheduled, spur of the moment meeting, (which is telling in itself)? I guess the Silverdome doesn't have conference rooms large enough (safe enough) to comfortably fit all those people?
Update: Maybe the curtained-area was all about security (which says something else again) and had nothing to do photo-unopportunities: here's the one photo Yahoo posted as of 12:00pm Friday of Bush with African-Americans from that rally in Pontiac. There were three photos of the curtained area. [ Yahoo link]
