And he's not an old, white guy!

Can the liberal left please lay off the 'Right Wing Conspiracies' now?

Why do I get a feeling that because of his background and political leanings, all of a sudden this story will no longer exist...

People should have not assumed that the artist was white, conservative and racist. There are plenty of people on the left who don't like Obama. They didn't support his candidacy and they don't support him now.
