McCaskill: Obama Didn't Play Race Card
=========

That speaks it all.

because it came out of the mouth piece of the phony 0maba.

The only one obsessed with Obama is Obama. That's their point.

@ Chubbs Wolfe :

I like your post. McCaskill is a liability for Obama. She still has hopes of becoming his VP candidate and we all know it. As was stated, Obama's associations are going to do him in, in this election. Now, along with his flip-flopping, he's playing the "race" card himself. As he set Clinton up with this "race" issue, he's trying to do the same thing to McCain...the difference now is that Obama is playing with the GOP and it won't work this time. Obama is grasping at straws, as usual.

Obama did play race card. What Can Obama do? No experiences, no accomplishments. Play politics and race card. He is doing anything and saying anything to win

becky:

obama played the race card first by calling his grandmother a "typical" white person.....

c'mon now, do your research before you make such stupid posts!

This isn't politics as usual. Obama is using his blackness as a political tool. He knows that any hit of racism should work in his favor. The fact that HE keeps bringing it up confirms to me that he is a very cunning guy who will apparently do and say anything to win. The swoon factor amongst the mainstream media is mind boggling.

Jefferson said: the media is McCain's base!

Man, what island are you living on. Even Obama has said the media is in his favor.....wake up, man, smell the coffee!

Of course Obama didn't "play the race card." It wouldn't benefit him to do so. The accusation is absurd and is wedge politics at its worst. The overblown response/attack of the McCain campaign makes it clear that they wanted to make race an issue. McCaskill is right that Obama was talking about the general tactics used in this election. You'd have to have your head buried in the sand to not have seen some of what has gone on in the last six months--the insulting and disgusting viral e-mails, the bigoted comments from the likes of Fox "News" and conservative commentators, the god-awful materials they sell at their state conventions, and the advertisements used by both state-level and national-level Republican committees. It has been occurring throughout this campaign and that is what Obama was referring to.

I wonder if the people in Missouri ever wonder how she go elected? Listning to her speak and try to explain Obama's sneaky way of using the race card, made me and other intelligent American angry. She is as arrogant as he is. She honstly feels that we don't understand english. Hopefully, people from Missouri will understand their HUGE mistake in electing her. I don't care what party he/she is from, as long as they treat American Voters with the dignity and honesty and respect we deserve. She has shown that she feels vastly superior to those of us who, in her estimation will buy anything she says. She surely knows how to speak down to us Lowly Peons.

Tiff:

She gave an honest sincere statement which is much more substantial than your little bits or ridicule for people who desire something more for this country than negative campaigning. Go Green!

Did you even pay attention to the post JA wrote to you? It's hard for anyone to even follow your line of thinking in your post. How old are you?

People keep bringing up the Reverend Wright issue. As a Democrat, I have put that issue to rest. When Barack tells us he didn’t realize that his minister held hated-filled opinions of white people, I believe him! Unfortunately, I just can vote for him. A man who spends 20 years in a church without realizing his minister and fellow parishioners are racists is just too mentally impaired to be president . . . . by the way, where the hell is Michelle? You know, the Michelle who isn’t proud of her country, the Michelle who thinks Hilary has no business in the White House because she couldn’t take care of her own house, the Michelle who wants to scratch Bill Clinton’s eyes out, the Michelle who admitted to ABC that she’d have to “think about” supporting Hillary Clinton if her husband lost the nomination, the Michelle who whines to voters because she had to pay $10,000 for her daughters’ ballet lessons, the Michelle who got into an Ivy League college on affirmative action and then whined about having to pay back her student loans, the Michelle who whined that her husband, being black, could get killed just crossing the street . . . yeah, that Michelle. They shut her up, didn’t they? About damn time . . . Crazy Harry

The Surge was one of four factors that slowed the violence in Iraq, Very significant was the Sunni awakening which fought Al Qaueda in Iraq , Muqtada Al Sadr militia being driven out of Basra by Iraqi & US Military & Al Sadr subsequent cease fire and most important political reconcilliation between the different Iraqi factions.
The surge was a tactical manuever, If you put 20000 US fighting forces anywhere the area will be secured sooner or later. Our Service men & women allways rise to the task. Think strategically The terrorist that attacked America are in Afghanistan & Pakistan,We should have finished the real war against terror in Afghanistan. Before starting a irresponsible and unnecesary war in Iraq!

Obama 08

Jane H. Obama-- is that you? Have you flipped sides? You were an apologist just a couple of weeks ago???

********

I was wondering the same thing. They did shut her up. She was a liability to her own husband. Yeah, I want her in the White House....LOL!

Jack: OMG... Walmart does not want you to vote for Obama because they do not want UNIONS!!!

UNIONS are for you...what an a**.

Oh JA I did look at both sides. And I did look at the issues. But I will say anyone who thinks a woman doesn't have a right to say what she'll do with her body is a man who wants to put women in their "place". And I'm not manipulative, except when it comes to dating and then it's fair game. And believe me, no one is pulling the strings on me, except maybe Visa because I do have to pay them back. And who gives a crap about "free-market" and "socialization" when China will be the world's most powerful country in 25 years. That is if global warming doesn't drown out the east-coast first (Thank you fossil fuels).

Yes, Robert.....Obama playing the race card is the of low. He will do anything to win this election and it appears its all about him. Also, when he refused to visit the troops in Germany, that did it! I just can't stand to see him in the White House. There are many of my family members, like me, that have turned against him and will vote for McCain in the fall.
I don't particulary like McCain, but at least he takes a stand, whether right or wrong, and will not deviate from it....Obama on the other hand, tells us what we want to hear and continues to change daily.

If McCain can't rally his conservative base around him ,he intends to spear Obama enough to send them out to vote against Obama. This is his strategy. since he is going to use the same old failed Bush policies for his presidency he is trying to distract americans from the real problems and issues with these dumd attacks ads,because he knows some people feed on them. People please get real !!!!!

It IS harder to become President if you are black. It's even harder when you are black and have NO accomplishments as a Senator.

Hillary never looked so good in comparison
