After arriving at a gym, President Elect Barack Obama shockingly sported his favorite White Sox hat backwards. As we all know, only no good, gosh-darn, hoodlums wear their hats backwards, so the photographic evidence of Obama's secret thug-life has rightfully spread across the internet like wild-fire. He might as well have thrown up gang signs blasting Public Enemy from the Presidential limo. How could we be so foolish as to set aside our prejudices during the election? It's only a matter of time now until he tries to hold up a 711.

Obviously, this is a ridiculous train of thought, but if something along these lines wasn't in the back of peoples' minds, why would Obama's hat style be all over the news today? Do some Americans actually expect that Obama's squeeky clean Harvard image will be exposed as a facade and his inner gang banger will inevitably be revealed? Or does the media have nothing better to criticize the President elect for besides the angle of his baseball hat?

I suspect it's a little of both, but if in two weeks, when President Obama begins making choices that legitimately deserve our attention, and Obama's hoodie gets media coverage, we'll know that some Americans really are absurdly prejudiced idiots. You know, because we really need more proof of that.
