I called out those things specifically because they were ridiculous at the time and the irony shouldn't be lost on us at what the GOP ignores today, things that definitely aren't as trivial.

I'm not legitimizing racism or partisan behavior, I think you missed my point. No worries though, we're closer aligned in our thoughts than you likely think.

That's a fair point, and I was aware of your overall intent. I do think it's important to word things carefully, particularly in this area, because there are those who will twist your words to claim that even progressives thought it was a big deal that Obama wore a tan suit.

People certainly talked about it, though.
