Yes, we can.

Why is Obama making race an issue? From this article-

"Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me," Obama said. "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 the dollar bills."

Neither the republicans nor McCain are making race an issue. You are, Senator Obama.
