Eventually, Obama will probably do what he has always done on race-related issues:

[Bicoastal]

Say he wasn't personally offended by the cartoon, acknowledge that he understands why many people were offended, plead the case for greater sensitivity, and essentially discuss the need to move on to more pressing issues.

Our President has as thick a skin as anybody.

1. Unnn, I don't know if he should get involved with this kinda stuff. Then he'll be commenting on ever

...racist thing Reich Wingers do and that'll be a full time job in and of itself.

[Bicoastal]

4. Yeah, maybe it's different now that he's not a candidate anymore. nt

2. What would you like him to do?

[Bicoastal]

5. Exactly what I just said he'll probably do...

...that is, if it even comes up at all.

[Adelante]

3. I agree, that's how he will handle it nt

6. He doesn't have a persecution complex either.

Not to say that persecution complexes aren't understandable, but sometimes it clouds reality.

[Still Sensible]

7. I doubt he will weigh in on this one

but if he did, I suggest he might acknowledge that the cartoon is indeed offensive, but give the cartoonist some cover by saying he "doesn't assume" the intent was to be racist.
