Obama plays the race card

We read:
" Senator John McCain's campaign accused Senator Barack Obama on Thursday of playing "the race card," citing his remarks that Republicans would try to scare voters by pointing out that he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

After initially huffing and puffing, Obama admitted that it was his race that he was referring to. See here. So he was accusing McCain of racism, even though McCain has never raised the issue of Obama's race.

As i've said here in the past. Obama's campaign planned on using the race card from day-1. They knew that without injecting race into the campaign they wouldn't have much of a chance. Besides, they knew they could simply blame Republicans as they always do. And since the Republicans are usually a study in weakness, it's been, and will continue to be, very effective.

But when it comes to weakness, the American people have the Republicans beat by a country mile!

Another "straw man" raised by The One. He continually opens his mouth and tells us what his OPPONENTS "would" say if only he didn't beat them too it.

He also has the famous "did I mention he's black?" quote in the bag. Now he doesn't "look like the presidents on the money."

He's been playing the race card since he got into the race....

Do you think the American people are smart enough to realize that the only people talking about race, are Obama's?

Do you think they're smart enough to see that everything Obama says one week, he totally changes it the next?

You do not? No, neither do i.

The American people DO see the truth behind the "Light of Change", but they are not represented by the media.

What is presented as 'News' is merely the cherry-picked stories and re-interpretation of data by the people who want to achieve and/or retain their power.

Take, for example, the fact that Congress' approval rating is in the single digits, but we never hear that on the news. All we hear about is how low the President's numbers are.

One can only hope that the voters will get fed up with the condescending attitude of our 'representatives' and put them in their proper place.
