Is GOP Faces' Dig Against President Barack Obama Mingling with the Wealthy & Powerful at Upcoming Events About Race?

GOP Faces takes offense to President Obama's circle of wealthy friends and ritzy fundraisers, insinuating that the "black man" has overstepped his bounds.

It continues to infuriate the right wing, including elements in the Republican Party that President Obama moves in a circle of well-known people. This is particularly evident for his upcoming events, which will include hanging out with celebrities, designers, media mavens and the like. GOP Faces released a new article, "The President Wears Prada" as somehow to scold him for the company he keeps. I guess, since he is black, they expected to see him with the likes of Snoop Doggie Dog, Ice-T, Suge Knight, P. Diddy, Kanye West and perhaps Russell Simmons.

In other words, the black man has overstepped his bounds according to GOP Faces, when he hangs out with the likes of Calvin Klein, Harvey Weinstein, Bernard Schwartz, Obama booster Jane Hartley, Anne Hess, former Clinton boosters Stan Shuman and Michael Kempner, Vogue editrix Anna Wintour's home, Larry Gagosian, the art dealer who was a Clinton backer, along with Miramax founder Harvey Weinstein, and designer Calvin Klein, an Obama booster, and Marissa Mayer of Google fame.

There's a terrible double standard that stinks here. It's okay for the spineless and classless RNC chief Michael Steele to hang out with sleazebag Andrew Breitbart after he committed one of the biggest character assassinations in recent American history of a black woman, Shirley Sherrod, who was thrown under a bus by many because of something that happened 24 years ago. Hey, what about all those high-priced events President George W. Bush attended during his first term in office? You will recall that he became toxic in the second term and Republicans ran from him like he had the cooties. Still, what about all those big shindigs that Republican supporters throw for their favored candidates? How come we haven't heard any outrage from GOP Faces?

They claim President Obama has a penchant for ritziness. So, who cares? Didn't John McCain have that same penchant too, considering his wife is wealthy and they move in certain circles? Wasn't President George W. Bush and his father used to a certain lifestyle because they were wealthy? I didn't hear any outrage then. Give me a break. This is much ado about nothing from the Party of NO.
