Obama Mania of a different sort

Perhaps trying to capitalize on President Barack Obama's popularity, a German frozen food company has come out with a product called 'Obama Fingers.'

The package describes the fried chicken fingers as "tender, juicy pieces of chicken breast, coated and fried." A company sales manager says "American products and the American way of eating are trendy at the moment."

Needless to say, the chicken now in German freezers, is causing quite a bit of furor. NY Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn) says "it's racist and inappropriate."

So, how long before see the President as a person rather than a race?
