Make up & Debate

Now, I am not a racist as most of my friends of African American descent...but, Did anyone else on the boards think Obama appeared darker than usual? I watched the debate with 2 co-workers. I am not a John McCain fan, but admittedly a republican. 1 co-worker is black and the other is asian. My black co-worker pointed it out to us half way through the debate and to be honest, that's all I could see the rest of the debate. Granted, my friend is not an Obama supporter and actually does not like him....but this was the first time I heard him make a comment like this.

Just wondering if anyone else saw the same thing he, then I did.

Have a good night.

I'm not sure, but I think it would have more to do with the lighting than make-up. Also, O was wearing a very white shirt...and that can mess with the lighting. I don't think he looked dark dark, but the skin tones may have been off.
