Barack Obama and the Race Card: Tread Carefully
Reader Comments
It's 2008, not 1960. Skin color doesn't matter.
I have heard some support Obama because they think his election will unify the country. But everytime someone is critical of Obama, the charge of racism is soon pulled out. The charges of racism appear even when no one has mentioned his skin color. So what happens if he is elected? Will we get accusations of racism for the next four years? Constantly hearing "racism racism racism" won't unite the country. It will tear it apart.
Lead from above and act like a President if you can
When Obama disgraced his Pastor no matter what he said showed that Obama didn't beleive in the constitutional rights of free speech. Instead in Obama played the true card and went back to his roots or his old enemy relgion that has been our pain from the start. Obama needs someone to help him and what color can he call on, its not a qualified question of whom but where will he support. Its about race, a race to the white house, get it. It was built to intimidate foreign governements and show power and comes with that responsibility is respect. Respect is earned, not given, comes with this is intergrity and with this comes morals. Remember this, no matter what color you are, some veteran fought for the rights of all Americans to RUN YOUR MOUTH. The vets are white, black, hispanic, asisan, korean, indian, and others so the next time you want to play the race card and call some body trailer trash or poor white something, lets see your house and remember when you point your fingers at someone look at your hand closely, you have 3 fingers pointing back at you! Obama will need a white candidate to make to the white house so pray he makes the white choice, get use to it. Its history. He won't make it, the American people aren't that stupid yet, but we'll humor him. Have you notice Oprah has backed off, doesn't this tell you something wizzard!
American has a constition that states all people are equal and until that changes remember that not one person can change that, crooked polticians will always be crooked no matter who they are, they makes deals with the devil everyday to keep there office seat. Your and my vote is just a symbol of doing something that makes us feel better. You want to make a difference than get out and be the difference.
Don't blame the world because these two guys know how to make millions on tax payers expense. Its the system.
They blames each other to avoid the real problems because we're to stupid to make them answer to real problems we have.
Are you really stupid enough to thing Obama is going to give us $1,000.00 for fuel, thats private enterprise raping us not the governement, its Exxon and Shell. Obama is lying to get your vote.
He's a racist. he's proud of it and he's going to the bank everyday with it because people are giving him money. What is his race, has anyone seen his birth certificate?
He's a mix breed like my dog. That makes him an American like the rest of us. There are no full blooded anything in this country so get over the race card issue. We're 200 plus years old and that makes us the youngest country in the world and we're turning out like the rest of the world and we will be just like them if we don't get our head out of our back side.
Wake up America. God Bless the USA! God bless America!
Obama as victim
Obama has used the race card many, many times, "preemptively" accusing his opponents of usig it. He played it on Hillary, and now he is playing it on McCain.
Obama is also the one to compared himself to Paris Hilton:

As African-American Lt. Col. Allen West, running for Congress in FL said, "My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a Presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone...however, perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements."
The Race Card
I don't know about anyone else but I am so sick and tired of this whole issue of the so called race card. It is ridiculous! Every time anyone tells the truth they are accused of racism. It's so easy to hide the truth by throwing up a smoke screen to obliterate the real issues. Barack Obama has some major problems to overcome if he wants to be the next President and these issues have nothing to do with the color of his skin. So people let's focus on what's really at stake here not Obama and his race card strategy, but the future of our country.
So who played the race card on the money first?
Video in June

It says it is paid for by the John McCain Campaign.
So who played the race card? and so why wasn't it ok for Obama to mention his face on the dollar bill? Why doesn't the Main Stream Media follow up on that since they have talked about it for 3 days?
Obama
Bambi and Oprah have been playing the race card since Iowa and South Carolina- We r not stupid- wee see what he is doing and it wont work !!! Race is not the ISSUE. Its his terrorist and crimnal tainted associates that worry us=- BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER - beware of Bamai and Michelle !
Attack, demonize, bully!!!!...
McCain's attacks have unfairly cornerd Obama in a no-win situation. We all know that Obama would never lower himself to the gutter level that McCain has chosen. To make a negative positively useful, we can use it to assess McCain's judgement from the quality of campaigning that he has chosen: Attack, demonize, bully... All the above clearly display his negative streak and his absolute lack of respect for people, including VOTERS, who only want to focus on concrete facts important to a Presidential election. We only want to get information on what he himself has done in the Senate. For example, how did he vote on our issues during his looooong years in the Senate? How about his stand on affirmative action, abortion, gay rights, taxes, true diplomacy, etc. We want him to give us that factual information and a lot more respect!!!!
Race Card
Don't you get it? That is exactly what he is doing. That is how he pushed his way through the primaries. Without dropping the race bomb, Hillary Clinton would be our nominee as she should be!
Erbe - you are just white trash
McCainn played the race card - not Obama - Obama spoke the truth
The reason why Obama is falling in the Polls - because of Dumb White trash like you
You have no sense of honor or dignity about you - you are racist - trailer park trash
I wish that McCain were kIlled in Vietnam
He surely did not fight for my Freedom
He is white trash like you
I despise you - you white trailer park trash bitch
