OK, let's assume that Obama did not mention race. What is left??

This is the closest I can come up with as far as Obama coming even close to resembling someone pictured on currency. Of course, looks are only skin deep...real deep in this case. Maybe without the mustache??

If you blur your vision for about 5 seconds and drink about 3 cups of the kool aid, the similiarities are remarkable.

a ha a ha aaa ha. Which is a good reason for you to cut back your intake. That right wing koolaid will make you see all sorts of things.Actually our money is green and grey Which Obama is not. So if you want to get technical he is still right. He doesn't resemble them.

I am glad you have a sense of humor, but as you know many a truth are said in jest. My intake is regulated and I eat my Wheaties every morning. Besides, all the koolaid comes from the same factory. We all know that. Personally, I prefer pure spring water.

Look what else the cat dragged in. Still, the color of money is off some, wouldn't you say? The beret is an indicator here.

Humor aside, I agree that the dollar bill is green. And with comments like this, Obama is just as green.

But he will likely be your leader. Who knows you might have fun. And you missed the seal

I definitely did NOT miss the presidential seal, but that's a different thread

If McCain can't win on the strength of his arguments he doesn't deserve the job.

Obama played the race card first...out of desperation at the Paris & Britney ad.

Quote:

With the pressure on Obama did what he has done before --he played the race card, asserting that John McCain would try and scare voters because of Obama's name, his insufficient patriotism, and because Obama doesn't look the presidents on the dollar bills. Put aside the gaffe about presidents being on dollar bills --just another in a long string from Mr. 57 States-- and note that this is the second time in recent weeks when Obama reflexively played a race card. At a Florida fund-raiser in June, Obama said this:

“The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy. We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?"

John McCain pushed back, hard, as he should and hopefully will again and again. There have been lots of occasions over the years to disagree with Senator McCain, but no one has ever before accused him or running a dishonorable, racist campaign, and his anger is genuine. The accusation of racism is a slander, and McCain won't put up with it, nor will most voters. Obama's sensitivity to being compared with light weights Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton --"fame without portfolio" is how McCain surrogate Lindsey Graham put it in noting the tie that binds the trio-- led him to throw down the race card, an unforced error on his part, worse even than the demonstration of empty-suitedness with his "inflate your tires to energy freedom" baffler.

McCain won the week, or rather Obama lost it. Even the MSM began to notice the "all hat, no cattle" aspect of Obama's campaign, asking "What has he ever done? What does he propose to do, specifically?"

You and Hugh just rewrote history. That isn't what happened. In june he said "Did I mention he's black" Which he said in june about the fact that "People" will try to scare you. And guys what he is right. There are folks who are voting on race. Duh!
What McCain was responding to was a statement that didn't mention race. If he were pure white he still would look different. Right?

But if this is what you guys think we are voting on. Well go ahead and vote for McCain.

See how that works?..."Vote for Obama or you're a racist."...

I agree with this completely.

I guess it is possible, but highly unlikely that he was taking about his ears. I mean, have you seen Abe Lincoln's ears?

And I don't even care if it was. I have had people say to me the won't vote for him because he is blak. And I will bet you all know someone who feels the same.

And what about those people who are voting for him simply because he is black? How is that any different? It is just as foolish as those women who wanted Hillary simply because she was a woman.

I agree they shouldn't. And I have said many times that I don't agree with either candidate 100%.

And its sad tha the press is stuck on this. McCain said he was ready to move on. And Barack gave a press conference today and it was asked again and again. I think its the press that is stuck on conflict. Obama gave a good press conference about the economy and his willingness to to compromise with the right in order to move the country forward. But as soon as it ended the press went right back to this dumb story. So I am not going to spend any more time on it either.

I actually agree with you concerning the media. They have been continually adding to the divisiveness amongst people throughout the entire campaign. That is why I stopped watching the MSM.
