Just the fact he brings it up means Obama is playing the race card. For a supposed Christian ::) he's awefully judgemental.......God, the more I read or listen to this clown the more of an idiot I think he is!!!
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.

You don't think he already started by that comment alone?

Newsweek has him ahead of Mccain by 15 points in yesterday's poll.
FOX had him ahead of Mccain by 5 points last week. Seems these is a big hilary bounce, as her voters are now choosing Obama over mccain.
Obama now has 3 times as much $ to spend than Mccain. It'll be 4 times as much $ by the end of the summer. Mccain isn't getting donations, and Obama is, simply put.
The campaign chose to compete, at least for now, in 11 swing-voting states - Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - and seven others that have reliably voted for Republican presidential candidates in the past several elections - Alaska, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota and Virginia. Obama is spending an estimated $4 million for this first wave of ads.

No, but those in the GOP certainly have.
http://thedailyvoice.com/voice/2008/06/tx-gop-convention-button-if-ob-000774.php
here is a prediction for you Coach: McCain will end up with less than 200 electoral votes.
-
No, but those in the GOP certainly have.
http://thedailyvoice.com/voice/2008/06/tx-gop-convention-button-if-ob-000774.php
That is pathetic right there, what the TX GOP is doing. They're playing the race card, without a doubt.
-
If it keeps getting worse for the GOP, they could make McCain drop out at some point and cover it up with some excuse like his age or whatever. Then bring in a fresher candidate to maybe get a spike in voters. I can't see McCain winning this race.Yes he may have the hardcore racists, fundamental christians, and your right wing radio nuts but that won't be enough.

That is an option. However, there is one thing to remember. Mccain has what, 60 million bucks right now? (It could be higher, I don't know what his on-hand is)
that money came from people who are now owed favors later. If you accept their $, then change people, the new guy accepts all the old obligations with the $. Also the new guy would have to mirror mccain's positions - or right alientating the base.
Plus most people would see right through it. Once they have made the decision: "I'm a white repub but I will vote for Obama", it's going to be hard to undo that. That's a big step for them.
This is going to be an interesting election. Rove has a bag of dirty tricks. So far he's attacked obama's wife, pastor, church, etc. Perhaps he'll step up to Obama himself, one day.
-
Yes he may have the hardcore racists, fundamental christians, and your right wing radio nuts but that won't be enough.
yet he isn't well liked by any of those groups. Neither the neocons or the theocons consider him one of their own.

Romney? Gingrich? Certainly not Gulliani or Huckabee.
-

he was popular among independent voters. Problem for mccain is that independent voters are in a 'change' mood. Mccain isn't about change, he's about war strength. Obama is the 'change' guy.
it's a change election - bad economy, end of an unpopular war. historically, the country changes parties in the white house too. Ask Bush in 92.
-
Rove has a bag of dirty tricks. So far he's attacked obama's wife,
"She's an angry black woman." (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/21/cal-thomas-says-america-only-sees-angry-black-women-on-tv/) No racism there.
pastor, church, etc.
angry black pastor/church. No racism there.

the cuntservative republicans will be squealing like the porkers they already are. this liberal republican will be happily voting for obama. :)

obama is a little bitch playing the race card. 'white man trying to keep a brotha down'
can you imagine if that nig got elected, i could see him at a united nations conference playing the race card 'you guys just dont agree with me because im black' to the russians and/or euros who dont agree with his policies.

The republican majority that they had for 6 years could not get anything positive done. The slim majority the democrats we have at this point ain't much to cheer about except for a few like Dennis Kucinich. All that being said, I really believe that Obama is a great candidate to run this country. I remember when the Republicans were having their primaries and when McCain would speak, Romney would kind of chuckle and vise versa, that really really got to me. There were times when Obama could have slung some mud on Hilary during the debates that they had, and I mean wide open opportunities, but he didn't. I really am proud that he has made it this far considering all the circumstances that it usually takes to get a party nomination.

Believe it or not some black people are actually educated.

Some are.
Most aren't.
And some, thanks to affirmative action, technically graduated from college but all you have to do is talk to them for five minutes to realize they have the IQ of a stump anyway.

Brutal truth about an entire segment of the population with an 85 IQ

I know some white people like that. But instead of calling it affirmative action, they call it legacy admission*.
* getting into a university because that's where your father and or grandfather went to school. often includes donating large sums of money to the university. See George Bush and Yale.

You do have a point, but if you compare the sheer number of black people promoted beyond their level of competence so organizations can feel good about being "diverse" to the handful of super-rich white "legacies", the impact isn't even close. Most of us have to deal with the former on an almost daily basis, while rarely encountering the latter.

True, but Obama is educated and well spoken. So let's all quit with the racial slurs, like calling him a nig.
-
It isn't just academic institutions, Goat, but also government agencies that give preference to blacks. Don't know about you, but going to the DMV in any major city is a nightmare.. It's almost as though the counters are being worked by a bunch of rude apes. :-\ Worst thing is that they're not even called out on this type of behavior because they'll play the race card any chance they get
Obama isn't like this, but him getting elected = even more entitlement for black people, which isn't good for this country
-

yeah, that level of disrespect did speak volumes. perhaps it's an attempt to appear more manly to their voting base, I don't know. Those two were very disrespectful to each other. Funny that Romney is now the frontrunner in the election. Of course, he is worth $200 million and Mccain is exactly $200 mil behind right now, in fundraising lol...

I don't know. I worked in the NY financial industry for 4 years. Lots of legacy hires there. (old boy network = affirmative action for white people)

I never accused YOU specifically of calling him a nig, a poster earlier did( and I have heard many other people call him that).

Obama won the party nomination because he is black. If he was white, he would not have received the 90% or so of the black vote and Hilary Clinton would've won the nomination.

Just the fact that he brought it up only shows the real reality of dealing with whites in america....The man has done nothing more than try to devise a way to get america out of the inextricable quagmire hundreds of years of white presidents have gotten it into. And all your white ass can do is complain and bitch about him....well if you are so intelligent then start running for president yourself. Get people to contribute to your campaign...because if a Black man can do it in america then surely some white deadhead getbigger can do it too? RIGHT? Show us your metal? What are you made of? Give us your ideas, what is your plan? How could you change things? How can you correct the financial DISASTER america is in? Restore americas standing in the world amongst other nations? Get america out of Iraq? Restore Iraq to pre-attack state? What do you have to show the people? It is easy to mouth off,... but in this case you have to SHOW AND PROVE!!!!!
And be reminded that It was HITLERY Clinton who started this whole race shit when she tried to DEMONIZE Reverend Jeremiah Wright and then link Obama to him...that really backfired on her and the media's ass...especially when Reverend Wright had numerous interviews and exposed to the world just how intelligent he is and how everything he said can/could NOT be disputed ...IT IS ALL FACT. I especially like when the WHITE reverend Pledger trashed her as well. GOD IS GOOD.
Maybe you would prefer to have another homosexual idiotic white bastard like Bush again...maybe you will get that in the form of McCain...and when you are on soup lines and living in the gutter thanks to McCain's mindset, you will have no one else to blame but your own racism and IGNORANCE and those who think like you.

u right like a white

Absolutely - she blew it. She's having about as horrible a year politically as anyone ever has.
I can just imagine her campaign behind closed doors: "Why did it have to be a black guy this year?"

Oh c'mon........you're not trying to pull the oppressed black and it's all the white mans fault bullshit are you........I mean seriously? You're trying to make it sound as if I care if a black person becomes our President. I could care less WHO it is as long as he/she, black or white is qualified, so stfu with that crap.....it's old, it's been old for 25 years. I never thought I would EVER say this, but between Obama and Hillary, I'd MUCH rather have Hillary, at least we would know what we had!
BTW, If Obama loses you can bet your ass he and his liberal friends will be crying racism instead of looking at his total lack of qualifications. And another thing, whats this crap about "demonizing" "Rev" Wright? Are you serious? this man is the devil incarnate and goes against scripture in almost everyway...again, stfu. Then you have Phlegar, and white man trying to be black PERFORMING to a black congregation and damn near mimicking Wright. For once the Dioceses did something right and 86'd his hypocritical ass from the church. Wright predecessor is no better, this clown is following Right in Wright's blasphemous footsteps >:(
-
Regardless of the whole black/white issue and the fact that he is "well spoken" and "charismatic" (two of THE most important factors for bieng the leader of the free world) you guys do realized this guy is a first term senator that that has spent almost his entire term running for president?
His previous job was illinois state senate... HOW is this guy qualifed to lead this country?? seriously lol!
I am not excited about either canidate, but Obama is gonna get bent over like a girl on prom night by every other strong leader in the world....

you're not allowed to use that question ever after voting for the current guy (twice even)

No matter what Obama does, he'll be accused of it anyway by certain elements. Such is life.
People can bluster, complain, slur all they want - changes nothing of the fact that he is a successful man, the dem nominee, stands a very good chance of being President. Too bad really for those who don't like it :D
-
Yeah to bad for America because based on the facts and this guys' plans...he isn't fit to tie my shoes. Its really unfortunate that he's black because all he has to do is whine about race, religion, or some other BS to push the fact based attacks off of him. He whine during the debates..he's whining now about the "race card" knowing full well his resume is weak as hell. Where in his past makes this guy qualified to be preseident...being Black is the only thing.

Wow, look at the homo using unnecessarily complex words. ::)
On the first page of this thread you suggest that most black people have low IQ's and now you're calling a high school level vocabulary word unnecessarily complex?

ABC poll results claim that 3 out of 10 Americans admit some level of racial bias
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25310337/
I wonder what the ratio is on GetBig?
Here are two reason why Obama will win this election:
1. The Republicans have fucked up this country so bad that even the racists would rather have a black person than another Republican
2. The best the Republicans could put forward is a confused old man whose own party seems to hate him even more than his opponents do.
-

Last I checked a Governor was an executive leadership position. What commitees has Obama even chaired? Has he ran a business?? kk thx.
-
He's done nothing....the community he organized ::) still sucks. He does not/has not ever walked across party line...but he will when president? He has writtem in his books he hated history and refused to study it...i guess thats why he was confused on the 57 states and who liberated Aushwitz. His plans are flimisy and only resort to spending more money. Windfall takes crushed us in the late 70's and thei moron wants to bring them back. "Big oil"..u know the guys who provide our fuel..pumped 76% of those profits back into their companies. What exactly are they supposed to do. This guy hates big oil, big pharmicuticals, big agriculture..where does he think anything is going to come from. The libs aren't fit to breath let alone run anything. They tried...it was called Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.....it failed.
