Obama Aide Concedes 'Dollar Bill' Remark Referred to His Race
Obama Aide Concedes 'Dollar Bill' Remark Referred to His Race
Sen. Barack Obama's chief strategist conceded that the Democratic presidential candidate was referring to his race when he said Republicans were trying to scare voters by suggesting Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."
The comment had triggered a charge Thursday from Sen. John McCain's campaign manager that Obama had "played the race card... from the bottom of the deck."
Obama's camp initially denied the remark was a reference to Obama's race.

Wild Thing's comment..........
Has anyone else noticed that Obama will NEVER take responsbility for his own words, or deeds?
It's clear Obama is using his race to further his campaign. That he's doing it at the expense of others is deplorable. The Clinton's are masters of this techniques but it appears Obama can teach even them a trick or two.

Why would he believe he belongs on our money? Does he think he's Eddie Murphy in "Coming to America" now?
He no more deserves to be on our money as much as I don't belong on Mount Rushmore!
This guy is a child. He throws an awful lot of tantrums, doesn't he?

The race card will be played whenever it is to his advantage.
I wonder why Sharpton and Jackson have been so quiet this campaign. Could it be they know they would turn off potential White voters with their usual rantings and racist banter and have worked out deal with Obama to keep low profiles until the election is over?

Exactly Tom.
Obama's behavior as well as that of his wife belies the underlying racism they are barely trying to hide, they can't move forward on an honest platform of progress for the nation with out reverting the the old saw of slavery, race oppression and victimhood, the difference here is it's the new Nigerian in the Hood. Sharpton and Jackson know that they'll drive off the caucasian voter if they start any of their racist bullshit. Sure it's all about race, that was the initial platform and it hasn't changed. I was colorblind until 1968 when the race card was used to avoid duties, I changed and now judge on individual behavior, this poser is a black supremacist of the worst order. Respect can be granted or earned, this SOB has done nothing to garner either event. Look at his associations for character clues. Thank you WT.

Lynn, he really does, your right. He is always throwing tantrums about something.

Tom, I bet that is the reason, they would be blamed too if what they said effected his campaign. Yes I really think that has to be the reason.

Jack, yes, Obama and his wife, can deny it all they want, but they have made this entire campaign about race.

I think people are going to soon get fatigued from this constant racial discussion. I am tired of it already. Should these petty squabbles continue I cannot see it helping BHO's campaign.
