Pretty clear to anyone with half-a-brain (guess that excludes the left) she was trying to make a point that people who oppose Obama would still feel the same way even if he was white…

(SF Gate)– A Louisiana state Senate employee has been formally reprimanded and suspended for a month without pay because she sent an e-mail message to hundreds of government workers showing President Barack Obama as white.

Senate President Joel Chaisson announced the punishment Tuesday for Senate researcher Tammy Crain-Waldrop, who has been suspended since Dec. 1.

Crain-Waldrop can return to work Jan. 3 and must send a written apology to Senate and House staff and lawmakers. The Senate employee of more than 20 years also will have to attend diversity training, according to an outline of the punishment released by the Senate.

Crain-Waldrop sent a message Nov. 30, obtained by The Associated Press, that included a doctored photo of Obama with light skin and said, “Do you like him any better now? No? Me neither. … Then you’re not a racist.”
