Question Does anyone know the details around this?

Apparently this photo was taken during Obama's recent stop in Ohio, and flashed on the ABC world news. I was able to dig around and find the picture.

Does anyone have any information regarding this?



The ghost reads: Sarah Palin for Vice President. Now that's scary.

I haven't seen it but I don't look for pictures much but I have to agree with the sentiment. I am afraid of a Sarah Palin Presidency and not because I think she is a secret terrorist or an "arab" or a unibomber nor a 60's radical wannabe. But because she is not a uniter but a divider and comes across as if she is my next door neighbor and I don't want someone like my next door neighbor to be president. I want someone who is smarter than me in the white house. She truly scares me and for the reasons that are plain and don't have to be manufactured.

I thought of Halloween and ghosts and frightening things.

I don't see the big deal. Am I missing something?

I agree...I think more is being read into this than should be. It's just a ghost for goodness sake. Now if Halloween wasn't coming up, I guess it could be interpreted other ways.

What details are needed? Someone made a cute seasonal sign to reflect their views about Sarah Palin.

Ghosts are scary. Sara(h) Palin is scary. Seems simple enough to me.

Once again, please look up what the word racism means.

For people who want to keep racism out of the election and have a cow whenever someone who is a minority claims racism you keep bringing it back to racism.

To have someone continue to refer to anyone as an Arab and say scary in the same context is RACIST, To have someone put someone's name and say they are scary on a scary ghost at HALLOWEEN not EASTER is not racist. Good grief.

I have never seen such people with a need for little tin hats.

Okay, I'm offended -- that little ghost reminds me of Casper and I love him.

Once again, I did not "say" anything myself. Only posted the links I found. I never know what is going to be shown in my "title of link posted" until it is posted.

My only words from earlier post "I found this on a Hillary forum "hillbuzz"" and "Sorry..that is about all the info. out there I found"
Everything else was a link to 2 different sites and the caption under the photo which came from the second link.

Yes, exactly, which I why I asked "tell me who HERE has said anything about the picture being racist"??? Sheeesh......

My first thought when I saw it was not "gee, how racist"....WTH makes it racist??? My first thought was, well, that isn't exactly something Obama should be expressing satisfaction over, someone making a comment like that. Especially in light of the way McCain quieted some people at one of his rallys.
