Obama plays the race card
Apparently Obama is telling audiences that McCain is warning voters Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."
One liberal blogger (not the Obama camp, granted) noted his new campaign ad associates Obama "with oversexed and/or promiscuous young white women." This may indicate some worry in the Obama camp after a bounceless foreign policy tour. In other news Obama also says we can save as much oil from properly inflating our tires as we can from opening new oil resources. Heh.

This CNN headline shows that Obama is still black, despite traveling to Europe.

All McCain has to do now is not say that and it will make Obama look a race baiting dumbass.

Now Obama is claiming that when he said the GOP would try to say Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills," he wasn't referring to being black, and that McCain is the one injecting race as an issue.
LOL, Obama, how stupid do you really think we are? http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080801/D929G6HO2.html

Obama is in a tough spot with race, and McCain, just like Clinton, knows it. Clinton worked her hardest to get Obama to say something racial so she could portray him as the racial candidate. McCain's ad was a similar attempt. Unfortunately, Obama fell for the attempt by McCain after doing so well in rebuffing Clinton's efforts. What is he to do now? He was responding to McCain but can't afford for race to be the issue. His campaigns response is that he wasn't talking about race at all (and of course he was) because that is about the only response he can give without McCain accomplishing what he was trying to accomplish (which is repugnant on McCain's part). Your initial post was that Obama "played the race card." You clearly don't understand politics very well if that is how you interpret the sequence of events. Obama has far more to lose than he could ever gain by "playing the race card," which is why he has been working his hardest to avoid even the perception that he has done so. |

Obama is making unforced errors. He's not "responding" to anything. The McCain campaign didn't force him to say this in July: Quote:
