really CNN? this is the most ridiculous headline i've read on your site in a long time:

"The risk of being an 'angry black man"
'Critics have complained that President Obama isn't showing enough anger over the Gulf oil disaster. Who would have ever expected some white Americans to demand that an African-American man show more rage?'

to me, this is a racist remark to both black and white americans. as if all white americans assume black americans to be angry, volatile people...a nice one,two punch.

why would anyone want obama to come across as angry? presidents should never appear angry...they need to maintain dignity, class, and professionalism. yes, obama is known and cherished by many for his cool-guy, every-guy persona...but that doesn't mean he should want to "kick ass" and yell at people when things go wrong.

he's supposed to be tactful, non-stressed, and cool under pressure.

get a grip cnn. just because the tea-partiers antics are accepted by some doesn't mean this type of behavior is wanted by all.

enough sensationalism.
