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.

you can get them on his campaign website.

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

Heh. If I’d have only known, I would have just updated yours and been done with it.

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.
