Since Obama was installed, I've noticed a new trend: When giving a live speech, completely ignore your audience and stare/speak straight into the camera.
The first time I saw it was Obongo's West Point speech a while back. Tiger Woods did it yesterday in his scripted "apology."
You wouldn't talk on a cell phone while trying to do business in person at a bank, or DMV, or restaurant. If you owned a business, you wouldn't ignore your customer standing before you in the flesh to give telephone customers precedence. It's incredibly rude (and stupid), but non-whites do this all the time.
