Christian Right Voter Summit Sells Racist 'Obama Waffles'

The Values Voter Summit hawks a a box of waffle mix emblazoned with a
cartoon image of a bug-eyed, toothy, dark-lipped Barack Obama.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At the annual Washington gathering of the
Christian right sponsored by the political arm of the Family Research
Council, the Republican Party's top emissaries have come in past years
to bow before some 2000 right-wing foot-soldiers and the leaders who
command them. However, this year's Value Voter Summit, a bit light on
GOP dignitaries, made less news in its speaker line-up than it did for
the sale of a particular brand of breakfast food: Obama Waffles.
