On McCain and the race card, Obama had this to say in Missouri:
So nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, 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.
I'd challenge Obama to provide ONE instance of McCain saying any thing like this! Seriously one instance, that's all I ask for.
This statement came in response to this ad run by the McCain campaign:
Some how that commercial has been labeled as racist! How the hell is that a racist commercial? It raises a valid point, Obama ran around Europe gives speeches to huge crowds, yet the US economy is in terrible shape, foreclosures, weak dollar, and so much more, and yet Obama runs over to Europe. Europeans can't vote for him, so why does he need to give a massive speech in Berlin? McCain's ad is attacking the valid point that Obama is failing to care about people here at home. In no way is putting spears or Hilton in the ad racist, they are simply people see as celebrities. Should McCain have put black celebrities in the commercial instead? McCain can hardly say anything without some organization labeling it or morphing it into a racist statement. Obama knows hes not white, and he uses it to his advantage. Today alone Obama said McCain has spent the last month talking about him and not his ideas. First I think McCain has talked about the issues, and discussing your opponents stances is a major part of the election cycle. You are suppose to debate issues, but apparently Obama feels McCain shouldn't talk about him. Same goes for Obama's wife. You can't touch her, but Cindy McCain's taxes is fair issue. I'm sick of Obama's hypocrisy. I'm sick of the race card, I want to see the election move past it, but Obama has shown he doesn't want to
