Obama Camp: Obama Doesn’t Think McCain Is Using Race, But Does Think He’s Taking Low Road

yawn

Barak should know McCain isn’t using race because Obama IS using the race card and has been for a while

Obama denies to play the race card again and again…..

The statement is as usual like in the primary election. Obama played the race card against the Clinton and then try to be innnocent. Voters gets used to his tactics and don’t believe him any more. If he tries to play the race card in the general election, he will loose because voters are tired of being called racist.

“This is a race about big challenges—a slumping economy, a broken foreign policy, and an energy crisis for everyone but the oil companies.’
OK, agree to debate already, stop playing dodgeball. Let’s hear what’s in your head, not a speechwriter’s head.

Anyone who wants to delude themselves to believe that the McCain campaign is not using Senator Obama’s race and anything else they can to defeat him is just being willfully delusional.
Just another attempt to feign outrage to deflect from the fact that John McCain’s policies make no sense and are no different from George Bush’s.
I’ll let ya’ll get back to your pity party now.

hp boston you me and everyone else in mass will be waiting a long long time i knew not to vote for him he talked over under around just not sraight on him and ob just the same

Obama plays the race game, blames McCain then says he wants to talk about the issues…then he won’t debate, just like in the primary…

Yup, exactly.
Obama is a coward and is even afraid of and old man and a woman.
God please do not let him be president!!
He is a phony and a fake and you know that god, please hear my prayer.

Senator Obama is taking the low road to get elected. He will say and do anything. His policy positions are borrowed and changed every other day. He thought that being a world traveler at taxpayers expense would make him an expert on foreign issues. He has no experience nor intergity.

Then, why the heck (since I cannot use l’s) do they keeps mentioning that the phony’s opponents are not using race against him? Isn’t 0bama who used this tactic to derail HRC’s primaries? Isn’t the same man who derailed Joe Biden’s candidacy by exactly the same strategy?

Don’t bite the race bait Obama they are trying to lure you down that road as evident in postings here.

The phony’s tactic:
Blaming someone else what they are GOING to do, while nobody did, has done, nor will do anything what he frames other people.
His Harvard Law education taught him nothing substantial, except lawyer’s deception of reverse psychology.

For the record, that was an offer of more presidential debates than have occurred in a generation. Why did McCain say no? Why did he stick to his plan (bunches of free publicity for his trailing campaign) rather than compromise?
And no primary debates? When you tell such blatant lies it undercuts your entire argument.

Steve, NJ,
Why is there not an option for wanting to vote for McCain because I don’t like the policies of either Obama or Clinton? Race and sex have nothing to do with why I wouldn’t vote for Obama or Clinton. While I’m not excited about McCain, he wasn’t my first, second or even third choice, he is now my only choice. And vote for him I will. Even send money to help him defeat Obama. But not because of Obama’s skin color.

The Obama camp has used the race card over and over themselves…and blatantly accused McCain in his speeches over the last few days of doing it even though McCain has not mentioned his race or even used Obama’s full name…and then Obama backtracks when he is called on it? Typical Obama….the man is a liar and bigot. He is an empty suit and I will never vote for him. This will be the first time in my 20 years of voting that I will vote for a Republican.

Let the bet ride: exactly what is the high road and what makes you think we believe you after what you did to Hillary Clinton and continue to do by pulling out the race card every time your numbers drop?
Get real, Senator and right soon,
Ok Senator Obama, let’s talk issues. So far McCain has been advocating an energy policy. You don’t want to drill and you don’t have any other suggestions except that you want to give Silicon Valley (a major source of your campaign funds) big tax dollars to develop alternatives. So far so typical of pork barrel politics.
I agree technology should be developed but how about the oil companies spending more than 1% of their profits on research and development?
It would indeed be nice to move past the slingshot gotcha politics but as long as you insist on a Really Big Show, you will have all the credibility of Ed Sullivan as an act except you won’t book The Beatles as long they can outshine you.

The ‘low road’ for Obama is a one way street, he used it with Hillary, his supporters are always calling McCain names and demeaning old people, but you can not critizice him, no sir, tht’s ‘old politics’.
He’s full of it.

I watch McCain on the news when he said “Obama would not fit the image of a dollar bill” . I must say, I thought because he was black at the time McCain said it. So whether McCain meant for it to be taken that way or not, he said it and that was my first thought. Which I must also say, I was upset McCain had said it, and thought how low can the man go.

“Obama’s team response”
It’s called spinning, backtracking, blah, blah, blah… whatever.
If a candidate’s remarks are so ambiguous they have to be explained, maybe the remarks shouldn’t have been made in the first place.

“Just another attempt to feign outrage to deflect from the fact that John McCain’s policies make no sense and are no different from George Bush’s.”
Yea, you’d love to paint them both with the same brush but it just ain’t so. Cite some examples other tahn the given one of a strong military and what do you have left? I’m waiting…

Oops, hes doing it again (UPDATE 1: McCAIN CAMPAIGN RESPONDS, UPDATE 2: OBAMA CAMPS RESPONSE LAUGHABLE – BUMPED TO THE TOP)

**(Bumped to the top – newer posts appear below)**
Well, Obama unjustly played the race card (more here) against the Clintons during the primary season and succeeded in painting them as closet racists, and now hes unjustly doing it against McCai…

Magoo: “Cite some examples other tahn the given one of a strong military and what do you have left? I’m waiting…”
Extension of the Bush economic “plan” (extending the tax cuts). Giving away the final areas that oil companies aren’t already allowed to drill. The immigration amnesty / cheap labor for industry policy. That’s three – basically go to McCain’s website and tell me where, other than climate change, McCain does NOT match President Bush. It will be a much shorter list.

Sue: “I just heard Obama say McCain doesn’t want to debate the serious issues, instead he wanted to discuss Brittney & Paris. To which I ask Senator Obama, anyplace, anytime? Or never?”
As I posted earlier, Obama offered five debates with McCain (more than any modern presidental race has had). McCain refused. Why was McCain scared to agree to those 5 debates?
And there are the traditional three debates scheduled already, not that I think you care about reality.

jhw539,
I’m sorry, are you saying Obama was willing to have 8 debates, 5 + 3 traditional or 5 altogether? I don’t think McCain is afraid of debating Obama. I don’t think anyone is. He isn’t much of a debater. Great speaker, not so much at debating.

u got it all wrong. where were you when mccain was crying about obama going overseas when HE was the one who suggested that obama go overseas.
did you miss him putting britney spears and paris hilton in an about obama.
were you on mars when he said that obama was responsible for the gas tax or that he went to the gym instead of going to see the troops
one day he is calling obama weak, then arrogant, then presumptuous, and when obama said he was losing his bearing….. oh oh oh he using bringing my age up.
WHO’S THE CRYBABY?????
i guess you have selective hearing/seeing when it comes to his campaign. hmmmm wonder why?
What a mystery!!!!

The fact of the matter is that there is an overwhelming amount of Americans who cannot swallow having a black president even amongst people who feel that they are not racist. Mcain has already been discrimenatory towards Obama regarding his age using “inexperience” as his reasons for this; why would he not attack his ethnic background? This issue has been sultering within and around the Republican party and my personal feeling is that “it is what it is” why not be proactive and bring these issues to the forefront; this is what any good business person would do, wouldn’t they? Obama made a wise business decision by being just saying it! Many are thinking it, aren’t they?

I listened, read and watched Obama in each retort.
He deried “Bush and McCain” but offered nothing of his own.
The usual.
