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

Quote:

"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.

But the real controversy is that he apparently thinks there is more than one president on the dollar bill!

I credit that to the normal gaffes of candidacy that were discussed earlier. I really don't think that he believes there are 57 states, either.

I read it the same way Snopes did: that he was trying to talk about travels to the lower 48 and got tangled up because one normally talks about the 50 states.

I like the way he links McCain and Bush together in his opening sentence.

Strangler Lewis · 07-31-2008, 07:08 AM

It's just a sly response to his having been compared to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. McCain is also a slang term for pubic hair, though a more obscure one than Bush.

scaeagles · 07-31-2008, 07:20 AM

Except that there are other examples of him doing the same thing prior to that ad you mentioned coming out. It isn't a response, it's a strategy.

And a good one.

Yeah, he's gonna be the first black president. He should ignore that? The ultra progressive freedom equality angle? Not to mention tackle head-on the racism that's the other side of that coin, whether McCain brings it up or not?
