Well done you effete snob, but race has nothing to do with it.*
Barack Obama has finally pulled the race card against John McCain and the Republicans. You know, Mr. “I transcend politics” has finally, tacitly admitted he is just a typical politician by accusing those who don’t like him of being racist.
“Nobody thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face. So what they are going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama warned, **“You know he’s not patriotic enough. He’s got a funny name. You know, he doesn’t look like all of those other presidents on the dollar bills.”**
Jake Tapper has an absolute must read on this.
And just to clarify, those of us who don’t like Obama aren’t racist. We just think he’s a petty, shallow politician with a vain streak that makes Narcissus look humble.
Oh, and we know he has skin so thin at some point his whining is going to blow up in his face. He can’t take what we’re going to be dishing out for 97 more days.
*Maybe this is why Obama won’t speak up for Steve Cohen in TN-09.

I'm not sure bringing this up so often is such a good idea
stickler88 Thursday, July 31st at 6:40AM EST (link)And the other irony of it
bk (Diary) Thursday, July 31st at 6:42AM EST (link)is that Obama does nothing but talk about either:
- McCain or Bush
- “hope” and “change”
He has offered no specific plans on ANYTHING, just totally vague, politically calculated nonsense.
I see that I'm not the only one up this early.
Moe Lane (Diary) Thursday, July 31st at 6:45AM EST (link)Heh. If I’d have only known, I would have just updated yours and been done with it.

They are pretty much stock left wing garbage. But they are out there.

Obama's comments misunderstood...
davenp35 Thursday, July 31st at 8:13AM EST (link)Conservative pundits and commentators always avoid taking it to the next logical step (and I’m not really sure why)…weren’t Obama’s statements not just a simple case of playing the race card, but actually racist? Think about what he said. Neither McCain nor anyone from his campaign has EVER suggested that because of Obama’s skin color he shouldn’t be President and they have never employed any strategy to “scare” voters by envoking his race. Obama is suggesting that BECAUSE McCain is white, those racist intentions MUST be his true intentions. He is suggesting that BECAUSE voters are largely white they WILL be “scared” by his skin color. He is suggesting that there is something wrong with previous Presidents (the ones “on the currency”) BECAUSE they were white. Obama wasn’t playing the race card. He was playing the racist one.
Well he sure never talks about them

Thanks for the add’l info however. I’ll check it out.
