Obama plays the race card
This just disgusts me.
It's not the Republicans who will use race to win the election - but the Obama camp which continues to deny anyone the opportunity to discuss issues. He's set himself up as untouchable. He whines over any criticism as "inappropriate." Who does he think he is? He's just a candidate, not a sacred idol. My goodness.
Obama says Republicans trying to scare voters
Jul 31, 6:32 AM (ET)
By MIKE GLOVERSPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama, the first black candidate with a shot at winning the White House, says John McCain and his Republican allies will try to scare them by saying Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."
Stumping in an economically challenged battleground state, Obama argued Wednesday that President Bush and McCain will resort to scare tactics to maintain their hold on the White House because they have little else to offer voters.
"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."

And Memo to McCain: Stick to the issues and stop kissing up to the Dems. Conservatives are your friends and you need them!

Did you see what Obama said yesterday? That if we all just inflated our tires, and got some tuneups, we would save the same amount of oil as offshore drilling would produce.

From the first article:
"If Barack Obama wants this so-called duel then why did he and his entourage run for the hills when John McCain challenged him to 10 town halls?" McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said.Obama responded after shaking hands at a restaurant in Lebanon, Mo.
"I don't hear very much positive from Sen. McCain," he said. "He seems to be only talking about me. You need to ask John McCain what he's for, not just what he's against."
Why don't reporters ever say, "You didn't answer the question"?
