Barack Obama is still caught up on the race thing (h\/t Ace<\/a> and Hot Air<\/a>) – you know that thing we’re not supposed to notice unless he tells it’s OK to notice. The CNN Political Ticker <\/a>recounts his talk with voters in Missouri;<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s spending an awful lot of time talking about me. You notice that?\u201d Obama asked a crowd of just over one thousand seated in a university gym. \u201cI haven\u2019t seen an ad yet where he talks about what he\u2019s going to do. And the reason is because those folks know they don\u2019t have any good answers, they know they\u2019ve had their turn over the last eight years and made a mess of things.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThey know that you\u2019re not real happy with them and so the only way they figure they\u2019re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,\u201d Obama continued, repeating an attack from earlier in the day. \u201cWhat they\u2019re saying is \u2018Well, we know we\u2019re not very good but you can\u2019t risk electing Obama. You know, he\u2019s new, he doesn\u2019t look like the other presidents on the currency, he\u2019s a got a funny name.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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;<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
