[![](https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/Michelle_Obama_in_Katie_Decker_cuffs3_800w_600h.jpg) ](https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/Michelle_Obama_in_Katie_Decker_cuffs3_800w_600h.jpg) At first glance, doesn’t this look like he’s wearing a ladies’ stocking as a do-rag for a “conk”? When you look at it closely though, you can see that it’s one of those tinted speakers’ lecterns and it’s making a shadow on his face. Ah yes, the world and its people through _my_ eyes.😃 Thanks Quasi ---

Nope, not a do-rag to me. ---

All I see is the shadow, nothing more. ---

What I see is a teleprompter. ---

Yeah, I see what y’all are seeing and I also now see the TeleprompTer, and D (my wife) also sees what you’re seeing, but the way I saw it, is if you follow the edge of the prompTer down along the hairline and on around, _at first glance_ (for me anyway) it looks like there’s a do-rag there. Also, I guess we have to take into consideration resolution, don’t we? Maybe mine’s not as good as yours or something, but _honestly_ guys, that really IS what it looked like to me, okay? _Nothing_ meant any other way, I promise It made me say “Wait! What _is_ that???” and then, when - as I said - followed the light part all the way around, that’s just what it looked like. Not disagreeing with you, just saying what I saw and i want to head off any problems i n case anyone thought I was making a racial slur, because it wasn’t meant that way. I’m going to go ahead and report it anyway, just in case the mods think it might be better off closed because what i wrote may have come off as offensive. Thanks Q ---

I don’t think it’s offensive, but since the OP’s question seems to be answered, I’ll go ahead and close this. **twickster** , MPSIMS moderator
