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

The 'low road' for Obama is a one way street, he used it with Hillary, his supporters are always calling McCain names and demeaning old people, but you can not critizice him, no sir, tht's 'old politics'.
He's full of it.

Note that Obama has said nothing lately. Just this Burton character. He is probably on vacation.

Let the bet ride: exactly what is the high road and what makes you think we believe you after what you did to Hillary Clinton and continue to do by pulling out the race card every time your numbers drop?

Get real, Senator and right soon,

Ok Senator Obama, let's talk issues. So far McCain has been advocating an energy policy. You don't want to drill and you don't have any other suggestions except that you want to give Silicon Valley (a major source of your campaign funds) big tax dollars to develop alternatives. So far so typical of pork barrel politics.

I agree technology should be developed but how about the oil companies spending more than 1% of their profits on research and development?

It would indeed be nice to move past the slingshot gotcha politics but as long as you insist on a Really Big Show, you will have all the credibility of Ed Sullivan as an act except you won't book The Beatles as long they can outshine you.

"The Obama camp has used the race card over and over themselves...and blatantly accused McCain in his speeches over the last few days of doing it even though McCain has not mentioned his race or even used Obama's full name"

I would love to see some cites for the Obama campaign "using the race card over and over." And, to be fair, since you don't believe McCain can use the race if he doesn't say "race," why do you claim Obama's comments, which don't mention race, are playing the race card? What, Obama is using clever word tricks to play the race card, while McCain is a nice old man would never imply anything like that? Logic only a partisan could love.

The Obama camp has used the race card over and over themselves...and blatantly accused McCain in his speeches over the last few days of doing it even though McCain has not mentioned his race or even used Obama's full name...and then Obama backtracks when he is called on it? Typical Obama....the man is a liar and bigot. He is an empty suit and I will never vote for him. This will be the first time in my 20 years of voting that I will vote for a Republican.

lets see now mccain votes along with bush 95% of the time--and after 8 years he is for change me thinks mccain is a lier--he constant lies and tells lies about the lies he told yesterday---tells stupid stories to scare older people especially older women man what a lame excuse for a candidate

Steve, NJ,

Why is there not an option for wanting to vote for McCain because I don't like the policies of either Obama or Clinton? Race and sex have nothing to do with why I wouldn't vote for Obama or Clinton. While I'm not excited about McCain, he wasn't my first, second or even third choice, he is now my only choice. And vote for him I will. Even send money to help him defeat Obama. But not because of Obama's skin color.

"[Omaba] doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency" - Obama
...
"What Barack Obama was talking about was that he didn’t get here after spending decades in Washington. There is nothing more to this than the fact that he was describing that he was new to the political scene." - Obama's team response

Ok, so all our representatives in Washington look the same; because decades of political work in Washington makes them look the same... really?

I'm curious why Obama wants to work in Washington when he believes that after a decade or so he'll end up looking like Washington, Lincoln, or Jackson.

I mean, if that was what he meant; does he really want to wind up 8 years from now looking just like Ulysses S. Grant?

Maybe he'd better give yet another try at explaining "what he meant"; usually his 3rd or 4th try is better than his first explanation.

For the record, that was an offer of more presidential debates than have occurred in a generation. Why did McCain say no? Why did he stick to his plan (bunches of free publicity for his trailing campaign) rather than compromise?

And no primary debates? When you tell such blatant lies it undercuts your entire argument.

Senator Obama denies playing the race card again and again. Remember, he also denied knowing Tony Rezko except for 5 hours of legal work. He also denies that he ever heard Rev Wright make a hate mongering, racist speech. I have a very hard time believing this candidate.

The phony's tactic:

Blaming someone else what they are GOING to do, while nobody did, has done, nor will do anything what he frames other people.

His Harvard Law education taught him nothing substantial, except lawyer's deception of reverse psychology.

Obama has been playing the race card since day 1! lets not forget those small town people in the state where 86% of the population is white of "clinging to their guns and bibles". How anyone "voting for race not voting for him is already in McCain's camp". He turns everything into race because thats all he can run on. Hell take his middle name, Barry can say it draws a nice contrast to Bush, yet anyone else who uses it is a racist.
Yet now we're supposed to believe the dollar bill comment is about how Obama has not spent time in washington Yes they really went there)? Well neither did Lincoln, Washington, Hamilton, or Jackson. The only difference between Obama and those on the bills then is their color of skin!

Don't bite the race bait Obama they are trying to lure you down that road as evident in postings here.

The same stratedy that Obama applied in primary election - RACE CARD.

Then, why the heck (since I cannot use l's) do they keeps mentioning that the phony's opponents are not using race against him? Isn't 0bama who used this tactic to derail HRC's primaries? Isn't the same man who derailed Joe Biden's candidacy by exactly the same strategy?

Why is McCain taking the low road? Obams is not caught up in all the media hype he is recieving and his europe campaign trip. He acting like a celebrity and he is cocky and arrogant.

So when Obama says things like "McCain is out of touch" or with McCain you are getting 4 more years of Bush. This is negative campaigning. OH My Mistake.

Senator Obama is taking the low road to get elected. He will say and do anything. His policy positions are borrowed and changed every other day. He thought that being a world traveler at taxpayers expense would make him an expert on foreign issues. He has no experience nor intergity.

Senator Obama - when can we expect to hear the dates for the debates so we can get down to the real issues?

"Well .. umm .. I agree .. ya see .. Michelle and I .. umm .. well we haven't .. umm .."

Thank you Senator!

Obama plays the race game, blames McCain then says he wants to talk about the issues...then he won't debate, just like in the primary...
