This was clearly a calculated political move by the McCain camp. To say they were responding to Obama’s statements is totally false. In fact it’s more accurate to say that Obama was responding to the images McCain has been puting out.

Check out this video where I put Obama’s comments over top of one of McCain’s attack ads from a month earlier. His comments fit perfectly with the images being shown in the ad:

Chief,

Only juvenile minds stoop to the level of name calling. It is people such as you that have given conservatives and the GOP such a bad reputation in recent years. Keep up the good work so your team can lose. It is because of people such as yourself that Michelle Obama said that the US can be “mean”.

I’m fortunate not to have been born “Black in America”. I was born in the inner city. You have no clue what it means to be a minority in this country. If you do not believe that racism thrives and exists in this country you have been living in a fantasy world.

I guess most of the people who blog here have forgotten that McCain once had a picture of Obama’s face on a dollar bill posted on his web site. It was taken down within a day or so.

The McCain campaign claims they would like to put this issue to rest. Of course, make a jab at someone then call it quits. That’s what Cindy McCain did to Michelle Obama on Good Morning America last month.

It seems the Obama campaign would like to put this race card issue to rest, rather than point out that the dollar bill comment was a reference to the satire that has repeatedly appeared on conservative 527 web sites.

In fact, was it not McCain that put pictures on his own web site of Obama’s face on the Statue of Liberty , Mount Rushmore, and on the dollar bill awhile back. The quickly took it down but the purpose had already been served.

Hey Rudy, how do you stop 5 black guys from raping a blond. You throw them a “basketball”.

This is the race card McCain is complaining about.

“So what they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he’s not patriotic enough. He’s got a funny name. You know, he doesn’t look like all those other Presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He’s risky. That’s essentially the argument they’re making,” Obama told supporters in Springfield, MO Wednesday in response to the tv spot McCain released yesterday.”

A comment made in response to an ad that shows Obama and blond white women.

Rudy, don’t care. When you get turned down for a job is cause “you cannot read, write, speak English, do math, can handle the work, not cause your “Black”. BOOHOO, think I will go home and cry.

Black Americans have been hearing most of the anti-Obama arguments coming out of Camp McCain all of their lives. It is most often heard when you are turned down for a job.

Playing the race card? McCain, you are holding the deck! This is how lies get out.

It seems to me that there are some finer points that I thought were somewhat obvious that are being missed. If anyone thinks that race is not a factor in any endeavor in public office they have spent there life under the proverbial rock. There are people who will not vote for Barac just because he is a democrat; there are people that will vote for him only because he is a democrat. Unfortunately there are people that will not vote for him because he is black, just as unfortunate there are people who are only going to vote for Barac because he is black. If you don’t blame the people voting for him because he is black or a democrat you can’t blame the people that are voting against him because he is black or a democrat. The smallest percentage of people that vote on policies and abilities are going to be the deciding factor.
My point is the McCain ad that shows Brittany and Paris is poignant and perceptive in a subtle approach. The Brittany and Paris personas have both been swept up to the top of popularity with little warning or substance. They were able to swoon the media with every word and action with millions of people watching. Just as fast as they became the media darlings, the world found out that they were superficial and deranged. Basically being famous for nothing can only carry you so far. Barac is much the same, he has come from nowhere with little experience and no public account, the time he has spent in the Senate does not prepare you for being The President of the United States. This is not the time for OJT, if he has any practical experience that sets him apart from McCain, people should be yelling at the top of there lungs “show me the resume……show me the resume.” So far I have not seen anything that shows me that when the tough gets going he is prepared to handle the issues at hand.
By the way, we have seen how far the Brittany and Paris show has sunk, hopefully Barac doesn’t get elected before we see how low he sinks.

Did anyone see the “eye smerk” just before Obama said his phrase about …not looking like the other presidents on the US currency. He looked right at the camera just before he “threw down the race card”….Obama knew exactly what he was doing when he did it and did it 3 times that day……and then his “Team Obama” said…no it was not intended to reflect such….WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO KID???? Obama knew very well he was inciting the “race card” issue for political purposes…what a poser!!!! Poor judgement and total lack of experience…Obama media driven “celebrity status” has truely gotten to his head and with it lower and lower polls. He is not qualified for the highest office in the world as much as the “in the tank” media protrays him as the “savior”. Although things are not that great this nation’s economy is still expanding….true some tough times have been encountered and issues are still occurring…but to think this nation REQUIES a total “new System” of government and economy ..BECAUSE OBAMA SAYS SO…..is both foolish and a disaster that is awaiting anyone who ascribes to the Obama view of what the US should “be”….a socialistic state. NOT !!!

Didn’t Obama a statement like this in the primaries? It was very close to the same only I am pretty sure that he ended it with “oh and by the way he’s black”. I’m not sure where he was when he stated it, but I think it was in the Carolinas??? The Clinton campaign gave accused him of playing the race card then if I’m not mistaken.

I think what OBAMA is guilty of is AGE-ISM….given that Senator McCain is now in his 70’s, Mr. OBAMA is quite poor taste is trying to say that Senator McCain looks OLD, just like the portraits of the presidents on our currency, all of which show our fine Presidents in their advanced age and not in their youth. Shame on you Mr. OBAMA.
