Hussein’s Latest Tortured Attempt To Run From His Racial Accusations
…accusations he actually believes, given that everyone of significance in his life has mouthed racist, anti-white sentiments. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
And notice how he blames McCain and the Republicans for alleged cynicism by injecting race into the campaign, when they were doing nothing but responding to Obama’s statement, however thinly veiled, that Republicans were racist and would use his race against him. Why does he think he can say something like that and no one’s allowed to respond, and if they do, they are cynical?
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, pulled away from touting prescriptions for an ailing school system and explaining a shift on offshore drilling, said Saturday the debate over race in the campaign showed his Republican rival’s cynicism rather than racism.
“In no way do I think that John McCain’s campaign was being racist,” Obama said in his first meeting with reporters since predicting that McCain and other Republicans would try to scare voters because Obama looks unlike “all those other presidents on the dollar bills”—most of them older white men.
“I think they’re cynical,” he said. “And I think they want to distract people from talking about the real issues.”
Obama spent a second day in Florida to speak to the National Urban League, the predominantly black group McCain had addressed a day earlier. The Illinois senator offered a fiery defense of his push to bolster the nation’s schools and dismissed what he called McCain’s “slim record on education.”
Asked about the McCain campaign’s claim that Obama had “played the race card”—one McCain spokesman had suggested that McCain was being painted as a racist—Obama called the criticism an attempt to alter the campaign’s focus.
He added of the Republicans’ approach: “They’re very good at negative campaigning. They’re not so good at governing.”
A McCain campaign spokesman, Tucker Bounds, contended that Obama was backing off.
“We’re glad the Obama campaign retracted Barack Obama’s accusation because it was absolutely false, and we’re moving on,” Bounds said in a statement. “The only ‘cynical’ candidate in this election is Barack Obama for his continued opposition to John McCain’s comprehensive energy plan that includes additional oil drilling, gas tax relief and affordable nuclear energy.”
Obama pointed the finger back at McCain.
“None of you thought I was making a racially incendiary remark, or playing the race card,” he told reporters. “It wasn’t until John McCain’s team started pushing it that it ended up being on the front page of The New York Times two days in a row.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

I think Obama and staff are trying to irritate McCain and followers to the point of saying something stupid. They’re trying to push them into a corner with false complaints; they want them to come out swinging but with the wrong verbal ammo. If I was McCain & company, I’d take a deep breath and talk to my attorney.

August 2nd, 2008 at 2:25 pmOh, my head hurts!
August 2nd, 2008 at 2:30 pmHe’s got balls, you gotta give him that. For him to point to McCain’s “slim record” on any issue takes a big pair, given that Obama has NO record of any count on ANYTHING!
August 2nd, 2008 at 2:37 pmMcCain’s “slim record on education.”Obama sat on the board of Annenberg Challenge, which handed out $50 million in research money with the goal of improving the Chicago public schools. The conclusions from this research show:“It highlighted the period between 1996-97 through 2000-2001. Results suggest that among the schools the Challenge supported, the Challenge had little impact on school improvement and student outcomes, with no statistically significant differences between Annenberg and non-Annenberg schools in rates of achievement gain, student behavior, student self-sufficiency, and social competence. ”

Obama has to lie to have a record. This man stands for nothing but Amerikkka.
Obama’s attacks on Bush are negative, his attacks on McCain are negitive, his attacks on the USA are negitive.
BVarack and his wife are anti American, anti White and was a member of a anti God (black liberation theogy) church.
The press are nothing more than puppets. He like all Democrats point the finger at anyone but themselves.
They want a loss in Iraq, more rigths for terrorist than American troops, there fight against terror survalance will mean the death of 5 million Democrats.

August 2nd, 2008 at 4:42 pmThe Obama Campaign drinking game: Every time Barack Obama says the word “distraction” take a shot.
