Picture of the Obama's Campaign HQ: Blacks and Women Need Not Apply?

Lynn Sweet is a columnist and the Washington Bureau Chief for the Chicago Sun-Times, and over at her blog I saw a picture that she took of the Obama 2012 Headquarters in Chicago 'techies corner'. One thing that jumps out to me regarding this picture from the heart of a multiracial Chicago of the HQ for the campaign of a post-racial 'black' President is that out of the 25 people I can see, there are 3 people of color and 4 women. This is the exact sort of diversity that I expect out of a guy like Obama who has put in place policies that have struck the hardest at those groups in society who need the most help.

I'm no math major, but 3/25 is only 12% and 4/25 is only 16%- both of those rates of employment are considerably below what one can find in the population at large and I would imagine that if any private or public business had employment rates like that lawsuits would result.

Here is a picture of the whitest and most male group of staffers that President Obama can assemble:
