Obama Camp: Obama Doesn't Think McCain Is Using Race, But Does Think He's Taking Low Road

McCain is a lier, and crazy. Just watch what he says and how he says it. Maybe it's because of his prisoner of war trauma, but the guy is crazy.

I listened, read and watched Obama in each retort.

He deried "Bush and McCain" but offered nothing of his own.

The usual.

So the race-card did not go over well with fair-minded Americans - ooops, so go to Plan B - say it is the same old low-road politics! The man speaks out of both sides of his mouth! Scary! Change is here for sure - change of mind!

The fact of the matter is that there is an overwhelming amount of Americans who cannot swallow having a black president even amongst people who feel that they are not racist. Mcain has already been discrimenatory towards Obama regarding his age using "inexperience" as his reasons for this; why would he not attack his ethnic background? This issue has been sultering within and around the Republican party and my personal feeling is that "it is what it is" why not be proactive and bring these issues to the forefront; this is what any good business person would do, wouldn't they? Obama made a wise business decision by being just saying it! Many are thinking it, aren't they?

Once again, Obama has to return to clarify what he said earlier. Getting kind of tiresome. Will he do that during a 3 a.m. phone call?

marylou

u got it all wrong. where were you when mccain was crying about obama going overseas when HE was the one who suggested that obama go overseas.

did you miss him putting britney spears and paris hilton in an about obama.

were you on mars when he said that obama was responsible for the gas tax or that he went to the gym instead of going to see the troops

one day he is calling obama weak, then arrogant, then presumptuous, and when obama said he was losing his bearing..... oh oh oh he using bringing my age up.

WHO'S THE CRYBABY?????

i guess you have selective hearing/seeing when it comes to his campaign. hmmmm wonder why?

What a mystery!!!!

Here we go again with the Obama Twist! Explaining to us poor dunderheads what he "meant" and playing the poor little misunderstood candidate instead of standing up like a man and taking his lumps for what he said. I cannot imagine a weakling such as this being President. I swear he'll have a nervous breakdown within the first year!

jhw539,

I'm sorry, are you saying Obama was willing to have 8 debates, 5 + 3 traditional or 5 altogether? I don't think McCain is afraid of debating Obama. I don't think anyone is. He isn't much of a debater. Great speaker, not so much at debating.

>>>>Barack Obama in no way believes that the McCain campaign is using race as an issue

ROFL - more hoodwinking from Obama!
Yesterday, Obama claimed McCain WAS using the Race Card.
This is a typical CYA back tracking Obama remark - commonly known as WORM = what Obama really meant.

PUMA
Dems for McCain!

Sue: "I just heard Obama say McCain doesn't want to debate the serious issues, instead he wanted to discuss Brittney & Paris. To which I ask Senator Obama, anyplace, anytime? Or never?"

As I posted earlier, Obama offered five debates with McCain (more than any modern presidental race has had). McCain refused. Why was McCain scared to agree to those 5 debates?

And there are the traditional three debates scheduled already, not that I think you care about reality.

* Friday, September 26, 2008 at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi
* Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee
* Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York

Republicans cannot change who they are....expect this campaign to be as nasty or even nastier than it was in the past as McCain and other Republicans get more and more desperate...

Magoo: "Cite some examples other tahn the given one of a strong military and what do you have left? I'm waiting..."

Extension of the Bush economic "plan" (extending the tax cuts). Giving away the final areas that oil companies aren't already allowed to drill. The immigration amnesty / cheap labor for industry policy. That's three - basically go to McCain's website and tell me where, other than climate change, McCain does NOT match President Bush. It will be a much shorter list.

Poor me, I don't look like all the other candidates. And they are trying to make you afraid of me.

And did I mention that I am black?

So who is using race to get votes. Obama played the race card with Clinton and now McCain. That is dirty politics.

Team Mccain should call him out. Say ok Senator Obama, let's go - right now - TownHall meeting next week! Put yur money where you mout' is!

"Just another attempt to feign outrage to deflect from the fact that John McCain's policies make no sense and are no different from George Bush's."

Yea, you'd love to paint them both with the same brush but it just ain't so. Cite some examples other tahn the given one of a strong military and what do you have left? I'm waiting...

I just heard Obama say McCain doesn't want to debate the serious issues, instead he wanted to discuss Brittney & Paris. To which I ask Senator Obama, anyplace, anytime? Or never?

"Obama's team response"

It's called spinning, backtracking, blah, blah, blah... whatever.

If a candidate's remarks are so ambiguous they have to be explained, maybe the remarks shouldn't have been made in the first place.

If he doesn't think McCain is using race, why all that malarky about Presidents on dollars?

I watch McCain on the news when he said "Obama would not fit the image of a dollar bill" . I must say, I thought because he was black at the time McCain said it. So whether McCain meant for it to be taken that way or not, he said it and that was my first thought. Which I must also say, I was upset McCain had said it, and thought how low can the man go.

Obama was like John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Lincoln before we really knew him.

Now that we know Obama he is now like Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears
