Barack Obama is still caught up on the race thing (h/t Ace and Hot Air) – you know that thing we’re not supposed to notice unless he tells it’s OK to notice. The CNN Political Ticker recounts his talk with voters in Missouri;
“He’s spending an awful lot of time talking about me. You notice that?” Obama asked a crowd of just over one thousand seated in a university gym. “I haven’t seen an ad yet where he talks about what he’s going to do. And the reason is because those folks know they don’t have any good answers, they know they’ve had their turn over the last eight years and made a mess of things.”
“They know that you’re not real happy with them and so the only way they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,” Obama continued, repeating an attack from earlier in the day. “What they’re saying is ‘Well, we know we’re not very good but you can’t risk electing Obama. You know, he’s new, he doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, he’s a got a funny name.’”
Yeah, McCain doesn’t have any ideas…other than NOT doing what Democrats have done for decades that have gotten us in this mess. He wants to drill here and now while Obama’s ad with his solutions are cleaving to the old ideas of raising CAFE standards and throwing money at alternative fuels. He calls it “fast tracking new technologies” But how do you “fast track” something that doesn’t exist? This ad could have been written in the 80s;

Obama does have a funny name but there’s nothing funny about his politics. He’s using the same tactics that worked against Hillary (to a small degree) but I honestly don’t think the voters who are not Democrats will fall for it. Americans have heard the same tired rhetoric for decades and they’ve rejected it almost every time. I guess the Obama campaign thinks they can hand the voters a gilded turd and no one will notice it’s still a turd.
If you want to be completely factual, which I don’t expect from Dems or the MSM, he is Caucasian-Arab-African American. Not that I noticed he was, but by pointing this out to one of my Dem Friends. He said I am a racist. The facts are out there but I was still being labeled.
I believe it was Robert Frost who said: “A liberal is a man so broad minded, he can’t take his own side in an argument.”
He called you racist for pointing out Obama’s ‘diverse’ ethnicity??? Jeezustapdancingchrist. No matter how PC you are, it just isn’t enough for these mindless libs.
GI Jane; He really got hot over the Arab part because he said “Just because his middle name is Husain.”
I pointed out the that his father was only part Africain and more arab. This stopped him in his tracks.
Reaserch and facts stops them in their tracks everytime.
