Obama Suggests GOP Will Use Race to Scare Voters
Fox News
Barack Obama told a group of Florida donors Friday night that Republicans will try to make voters afraid of him, and suggested they would use his race to scare up votes for John McCain.
Apparently girding for a nasty general election fight, the Illinois senator has in recent days predicted that independent GOP groups are waiting in the wings to attack him, and said his presumptive GOP rival is already “fear-mongering” when it comes to foreign policy.
But his comments Friday night in Jacksonville, Fla., seemed to reflect elevated concerns that his campaign to be the first black president would run headlong into political race baiters.
“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid,” Obama said at the fundraiser. “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? He’s got a feisty wife.”
The crowd of supporters cheered, and Obama added:
“We know the strategy because they’ve already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us.”
He said Republicans would be unable to run on the economy or foreign policy, so the election would ultimately boil down to a choice between “hope and fear.”
His “feisty wife” comment was probably a reference to a Tennessee GOP ad that criticized Michelle Obama for saying in February that she was proud of her country for the first time.
Obama mentioned the ad Friday afternoon at a press conference, where he defended his announcement the day before that he was backing out of the public financing system for the general election. He expects to raise more money on his own, in part to defend himself against independent GOP attack groups.
While there is no imminent, large-scale threat from so-called “527″ groups — such as the “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth” group that attacked John Kerry in 2004 — Obama said they’re waiting for him.
“527’s pop up pretty quickly and have enormous influence and we’ve seen them,” he said. “I don’t think that I am off the wall here to see that … a lot of outside groups that are potentially going to be going after us hard.”
The presumptive Democratic nominee, though, has faced down a viral whisper campaign, carried out through anonymous e-mails and Web site postings, in which race and religion are front and center. Obama launched a new Web site to debunk the false attacks, some of which suggest he secretly is a Muslim, that his wife harbors racial angst against white people and that he is not patriotic.
Some of his detractors also have referred to him by his middle name, “Hussein,” though McCain usually condemns attempts to suggest he is Muslim.
The issue of race was repeatedly invoked during the primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton was criticized for comparing his win in the South Carolina primary to Jesse Jackson’s victory 20 years ago. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell told an editorial board that some white voters just wouldn’t support Obama because he’s black. Another supporter, Geraldine Ferraro, said Obama was seeing such success because of his race.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
That does it, now your going to get it full force Obama!
Obama bases his entire campaign on racism!!!
Damn all this dweep does is whine, whine, whine. I am soooooo sick of it. I have yet to see any blog including this one say we don’t like this twit because he is black.
MY MEMO TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA:
Hey Obama listen up you idiot! It is what you stand for, it is your associations, it is your lies, it is what you have planned for our awesome country and how you want to destroy it.
It is that your CHANGE means one thing…take down America to YOUR Marxist level that has never worked in all of history. You are a communist, Marxist, socialist !!
America is NOT broken but you keep insisting it is. Do YOU think people, decent people not the hand out gimmie people, but those of us that are the ones that work hard, pay our taxes, vote and love our country want to hear their country being put down day after day that it is broken when it has been the most awesome country in the world until power hungry weak leaders got voted in and allowed PC and the left to win their agenda.
I could care less if you THINK you are black you are NOT, that is yet another lie from YOU Obama. You had a white mother that you try just ever so hard to degrade. You are a shameful human being that expects to do whatever you want, lie as much as you like and attempt to manipulate all around you, and American citizens with your don’t hate me because I am black bullshit! Well that won’t fly, that dog won’t hunt or whatever expression you will understand. You are pathetic!
And about your middle name you FOOL. Hussein IS your middle name and if someone wants to mention it tuff. You should have taken your middle name in to consideration when your ego decided to run for President. Including your being Muslim growing up, your background and all the other things. You are either a total fool or a walking talking full blown idiot if you thought running for President would not put you through scrutiny like no other position held in our country. If Soros told you not to worry about it he lied to you. LOL When our country is done with you we will know more about you then you have known yourself believe me. You can deny it all you want but count on the information getting out sooner or later.
And one more thing! Regarding your hate monger wife. No one forced her to say what she did about America. NO ONE! The two of you not wanting to be responsible for saying such things is just so typical of how all of you on the left think you can live your lives. But this blog is Theodore’s World and the posts are PC Free Zone Gazette so this is a PC Free Zone got it???? We ( I ) don’t stand for that kind of copping out baloney. I don’t use words like “African America” ONLY American. And when your wife said these things:
First she said that only Obama can “fix America’s broken soul.”
And then this:
“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd, “because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”
She has to learn to be smart enough to know it was just begging for any American loving person to say something. To defend OUR country that we love. By saying what she did she made it very clear that our Founding Fathers, WW1, WW11, Korean War, Vietnam War etc. mean nothing to her. That the reason she lives in the land of the free and what it cost mean nothing to her including the lives that were lost to end slavery that Blacks mind you started!
Michelle Obama, your wife’s world is very small just like her character and yours. A world that only cares about how as a black one will be treated today. Get out of the way of yourselves you people, there is a whole world out there you can make a difference in. Look at the life of Cindy McCain. She has made a HUGE difference in this world and she could have sat back, enjoyed the good life and done nothing. Everything Michelle has done has been in conjunction to the race card and your book was the same thing Barrack! And NOW your campaign follows suit!
Education for you so listen up. When I was a child and all through highschool and college age. My family had a yard man, his name was Walter Strong. He was 6’4, heavily muscled, loved to work outside and was a hard worker. A man of high character, a good husband, his wife was a nurse at one of the hospitals where I grew up, and father to 4 children. He grew up in Tennessee before moving to Illinois. Walter’s family had picked cotton before he was born and after. He wanted more for his life and he pursued it. Walter was as black as night with a smile that would light up a room. He loved to hunt raccoon and possum in our woods surrounding our home on his days off. We loved him like a family member and he knew it. My Dad would get him nice suits and shop for clothes at Christmas time. We would take bags of groceries to his spotless home at Thanksgiving as a thank you for being a good person and for all the extras he did as a yard man for us throughout the year.
My Dad has an old Army Wiley jeep and Walter used it to pull the big mover blades to mow the bigger lawn behind our home. Many times he would pick me up from school and we would stop and get popsicles at a corner market at the end of the winding road back to my parents home. This is important to point out because it speaks volumes as to how much this man, Walter Strong, could be trusted. To pick me up, a child and be trusted with my care like that. In today’s world that means even more then it did back then.
Once in a conversation to my dad, Walter commented on how he did not understand the”Negroes ” he knew. That is how he put it. He said, ” Mister Henry, I am a black man and that is what I am. I take care of my family and I do my work, but some are not happy that are like me and are angry. I just hope my children do not grow up to learn anger. I want them to be happy. And this name of Black gold the negroes want to use confuses me. Black gold? ”
My Dad told him not to worry, that his (Walter’s) influence on them was rich with hope and love for this country. That he set the finest example of all as a Father and that would be carried on by his children as they grew up.” Walter smiled his huge warm smile and went back to what he was doing. I remember that moment in time as if it was yesterday. There was a oneness between my Dad and Walter, two Fathers that love their family and want the best for them. Two Fathers that love America and don’t want a world of anger and hyphenated people with labels. Two that knew that character counts.
Obama you have none of this that Walter had. Your actions, writings, words, speeches and whine tell the rest of us all we need to know.
America the citizens that are awake and seeing what is happening don’t want a Marxist like you for President and it would not matter if you were orange with purple stripes, race if it is there with some people I am sure is at the bottom of the list.
Because of your racism, you Obama stand to hurt black people who actually do have the potential to be good leaders in the future with your (you hate me because I am black and stop picking on my wife and I) Obama.
It is time to wake up and smell the roses homeboy. Is that a word you can understand better? Because we can go there if that is all you understand believe me! But remember this….YOU chose the game, you brought the deck of cards to the game and you dealt the hand. And we on the right are sitting here with a Full House so live with it.
Shame on you Obama and the example you set for your children and as a representative of our country. You want to make it black and white and that won’t happen. It is red, white and blue and I pray it stays that way.
Hot Air ……Thank you for the video
Video had to be removed due to some tech problems with red lasso video’s.
WOW! WT, those assertive training classes really paid off. You hit a bullseye on just who Barack Obama is and what he is all about. He was the one that made race an issue from the beginning. Obama is the one denying, shunning, and attacking his white heritage. He is the one playing victim and acting like a cry baby all of the time.
Barack Obama is the one with the most liberal voting track record. He is the one always denigrating the country and it’s non-black people. He is the one who associates with American haters and sympathizers and supporters of islamofascist terrorism.
So, Barack Hussein Obama, you have no track record of accomplishing or doing anything that would lead any thinking or sane person to even consider voting for you for President. You are the racist, Socialist, and Islamofascist sympathizer. Comes November 4th, my message is F__k You!
YEA!! YEA!!! GO GIRL – GO WILD THING!! I agree with everything you said- it is so true- he is a shit starter and when nobody takes him up on his BS he whines– he was whinning about McCain not picking on Michelle– he was so surprised- he just knows it will happen- I think Obama is a crock – and anybody that believes a word he says – ain’t wrapped too tight-! I would love to see this ass (hyphenated) hole go away !!I would Love it!!– Anyone with half a working brain can see how he is baiting Mc Cain- the media – or anyone that can grab him a headline -LOOK who ran out the muslim women at his Q N A — who was it OBAMA ?Michelle?? Such audacity yeah, his favorite word-LOL! Obama is a pathetic walkin talkin fool that makes a horrible example of an American to the rest of the world! Obama can never win the Presidency-now because his stance on OIL is the wrong one–!! Mc Cain beat him to the punch- the knock out punch! For now he will have some time to keep ranting and raving – and baiting – trying to get radical blacks to start something for him– something – that he thinks only he can contain LOL!! Don’t count on it Obama! This is still America and your slimy hands will never be at her helm!!! Thank You Wild Thing for telling it like it is– I hope this blog goes around the world and back!!
Well I have nothing to say Wild Thing except….Amen!! and I second that!!
Les, LOL ….”those assertive training classes really paid off”…..it takes a lot for me to get really ticked off but this sure did it. haha
Thanks Les, I wish his advisors would tell him to stop this. I fear for the hate it encourages in citizens and how they will be empowered by his saying things like this all the time.
Cheryl, giggle thanks I agree this is still America and he better not forget it.
Dennis, I kind of could not stop. hahaha
Thanks Dennis.
Outstanding Chrissie, I just logged on twice with out a glitch. Love your rant, you are much kinder than I towards the Obamination and I’m afraid I’d have lapsed into the vernacular.
WT, you know you are going to start a slew of Obama supporters right???? LOL
Ok my 2 cents, Obama and the rest of the liberals in our country are guilty of self fulfilling prophecy… Basically it means that if you say America is broken long enough you believe it.
IF Obama stepped into the White House, he’d go Umm, it’s not as bad as I thought…. Like the rest of the liberal A-holes that took over congress in 2006, it wasn’t so bad, and they were going to get to work fixing it. HOW’D That work? they convinced themselves they needed to fix something and proceeded to break it worse.
BTW long time no see, You might remember me as Bushwack…
Wild Thing.. please delete one of the above postings, the doo hicky hung up on the whatcha macallit…..
Jack, Yipee oh wow I am so glad, I think I fixed it and it should be ok now.
I had some sailor colorful words as Nick calls it, then I took it out when I got done with the rant. hahaha
Hi Robert, so good to see you. I sure do remember you.
Your right too, and they sure keep saying it like a mantra thing. I can jsut see Obama do that, the UMMMM. haha
And thanks I deleted the extra copy of your comment.

Darth those are good ones.
drstrangeloveb52isok, giggle that is great news.
Jack I am so glad, I am thrilled!! It didn’t take long at all.
At first when I read it, I thought Obamessiah would CHANGE the NASCAR… RACE CAR!
– YES WE CAN’T!!!
Oh baby baby you ROCK!!! I heard too many callers into talk radio the other day say we would be making history to vote for Obama and to do it and get it over with. I lit up a post on my blog and then had to tear a piece out of a commentors back side for daring to say I was wrong.
And now the Obamessiah seal? God help us …
Short Shot-Wild Thing on Obamessiah
Dear Obamessiah lovers … read this. I’m not the only one!
‘nuff said.
SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “”, url: “” });…
Making history to vote for Nobama ? yeah it would be the end of the United States as we know it.
Just read your comment, WT, Outstanding.
Sorta Blogless Sunday Pinup
Happy Sunday! Another super fine day in America. Back in 1945, the Battle of Okinawa, you know, that place Murtha wants to redeploy our troops in Iraq, was won by the Allies.
This pinup is by Gil Elvgren, with a wee bit of help. Lucky puppy!
What is h…
You need to replace Hannity Wild Thing. Colmes would not stand a chance.
Obama is really weird. A Half White half Black man who hates his White heritage. A mixed race who is racist. A man who claims to be a victim of racism, yet spews racism, who uses racism as a political plank.
He has inadvertently opened a door that shows that there is a lot of anti-White racism in America. He is undoing a lot of good that has been accomplished in more than 50 years.
He is also a typical politician in that he will lie or sacrifice others to serve his own purposes.
Darth, haha he better not change that.
Jo, thank you so much.
The left can really get nasty. Sometimes I am shocked at the people trying to post a comment that are not on my appoved list and the things they say. They hate our troops and bring that up almost all the time too. It makes me feel really sick to my stomach so then I go out and ride my bicycle for awhile.
I am sorry you had a jerk at your blog like you said. You are doing GREAT.
All any of us doing is telling the truth and that is one of the things the left really hates.
Mark, thank you so much! Yes it would be the end of the USA as we know it if he wins. I hate looking at polls and I know they pretty much mean nothing, but they can bed scary all the same.
Tom you are so kind. giggle I am no one that could even have any pull, but I sure love having a blog and knowing you and everyone on here. It is my my home online and you all are my family.
But thinking of some fun, it would be fun to debate Colmes just once. I told Nick I would love to debate Chris Matthews at MSNBC, but Nick said he would have me crying. haha He is probably right.
You’re right about the NASTY and EVIL left anarchists WT. Like the song goes…”You take the high road and I’ll take the LOW road and I’ll be in Scotland before ye!”
