If Obama ignores you, does it matter?

P.S. That Boston Globe story is just bizarre. Exactly two sources, both of them academics who focus on race, think that ignoring Imus is a problem for Obama. The politcal professionals quoted agree that engaging this issue would be dumb. Why is the headline "Obama's silence on Imus alarms some blacks," instead of, say, "Obama stays quiet on Imus flap?" You don't suppose that the reporters (and the headline writer) have an opinion on the matter, and that they're the ones who are alarmed, do you?
