Poster Highlights Race Issue
ABC News’ Huma Khan Reports: A new image of the presidential candidates is circulating in New York City. And what’s different about this one? Their races are switched. The poster, created by New York-based ad agency Grey Group, was motivated by the discussion about race in the elections. “It makes a powerful message that race should not be the issue,” said Chris Brunt, associate creative director at the agency. “The idea of switching the races seems very strongly to personify that… in a way, it’s sort of obvious. It obviously says the sort of bold truth that color does not matter." The images of Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain are accompanied by the slogan, "Let the Issues Be the Issue," to emphasize that other issues are more important than race.
The posters will be published in a small Pennsylvania newspaper and circulated all over New York City today, right in time for the elections.

Obama is going to put the nations coal industry out of business and that means a loss of thousands of job. The Coal Association of Ohio says this about Obama and his drones…
“It’s evident that this campaign has been pandering in states like Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylvania to attempt to generate votes from coal supporters, while keeping his true agenda hidden from the state’s voters.
“Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short- sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote. But today, the nation’s coal industry and those who support it have a better understanding of his true mission, to ‘bankrupt’ our industry, put tens of thousands out of work and cause unprecedented increases in electricity prices.

Fact Check:
Despite the fact that both candidates support clean coal technology, the McCain campaign tried to make the case that Barack Obama wanted to take away jobs from coal country in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and both Drudge and FOX were happy to oblige.
But just three years ago on the floor of the United States Senate, John McCain’s Republican colleague George Voinovich of Ohio took to the floor to argue against a proposal by McCain to curb greenhouse gas emissions. McCain’s proposal, Voinovich said, would “put coal out of business” and cost thousands of jobs, an argument that McCain did not contest.
In fact, McCain agreed that his plan would require sacrifice, but he also argued (correctly) that in the long-run, America would be better off. In other words, he made the exact same arguments as Barack Obama

Bri, you are mistaken. McCain supports a cap and trade system where carbon credits are first given to existing industries and then are sold on the open market thereafter. Obama supports a cap and trade system where carbon credits are sold by the government. There is a big difference between the two plans.

WRONG. The quote you’re referring to and misquoted was Obama talking about DIRTY coal plants. If anyone wants to build a dirty coal plant when they can build a CLEAN burning coal plant deserves to be taxed into bankruptcy. Also, Obama and McCain’s BOTH want the same thing, a 100% cap!
Get your facts straight.

They have been laxly governed WAY TOOOO Long, and it is time they have to adhere to some STRICTER guidelines. They ARE the pollutants that are a MAJOR cause of greenhouse gases, and it’s ABOUT TIME something is being done to clean up THEIR act!! They obviously aren’t reinvesting their profits to do anything about it. Amazing isn’t it that this article has been on the internet since January 2008, and the very last day before the election everyone wants to talk about what Obama has to say, but NO ONE in the Repug NeoCons want you to know what MCSame said about the VERY SAME INDUSTRY. Could it be they are TRYING to STEAL votes AGAIN???

THE OHIO COAL ASSOCIATION’S RESPONSE TO BARACK OBAMA:
“Regardless of the timing or method of the release of these remarks, the message from the Democratic candidate for President could not be clearer: the Obama-Biden ticket spells disaster for America’s coal industry and the tens of thousands of Americans who work in it.
These undisputed, audio-taped remarks, which include comments from Senator Obama like ‘I haven’t been some coal booster’ and ‘if they want to build [coal plants], they can, but it will bankrupt them’ are extraordinarily misguided.
It’s evident that this campaign has been pandering in states like Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylvania to attempt to generate votes from coal supporters, while keeping his true agenda hidden from the state’s voters.
Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short- sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote. But today, the nation’s coal industry and those who support it have a better understanding of his true mission, to ‘bankrupt’ our industry, put tens of thousands out of work and cause unprecedented increases in electricity prices.”

“I never saw Obama as a black man.” That’s because he is not. He has not had the experience of black men in America: he just pretends that he has. His mother is white and he was raised in a white world. He had a privileged upbringing: always in private schools from kindergarten in Hawaii through Harvard Law school. His mother grew up in Mercer Island, Washington, which is a wealthy suburb of Seattle. His grandmother was a bank vice president. At every turn, someone gave him preference, so he did not have to work to achieve anything. He was offered a professorship without ever having written any legal publication. He was allowed to dole out millions from the Annenburg fund.
If he wins, he’ll be the first affirmative action president. Who would have guessed that someone without any qualifications could push himself up this far?

The whole discussion is ludicrous! Barack Obama wouldn’t even be in the race if he were white! It is preceisely becasue he’s black that he has any following at all. Ask the average voter why they’re voting for him? Change! From what? Bush. To what? I don’t know. SO – with no knowledge of policy (and those who DO know his policy record are NOT voting for him) they are expecting change. Why? Because he’s black. And THAT, my friends, is the very definition of racism. So congrats to the Barack camp for your campaign of racism.

Honestly, suze you should speak for yourself. I would no more vote for Sen. Obama because he is black than I would vote for Sen. McCain because he is white. I was impressed with McCain a few years ago, this election cycle he has stooped so low he is scraping the ground. If he had stuck to the issues, chosen a quailfied VP I might have still considered him. He has become so angry and devisive it is scary. I could not in good conscience vote for him.

You are correct.. if he were white, this wouldn’t even be a contest.. it would be the largest landslide victory this country had ever seen. Obama has had to overcome many more hurdles than any candidate before in this country, and his honesty, dedication and hard work has allowed him to overcome those. A truly admirable accomplishment that all should be proud of and shows that this is the greatest country in the world.

“The point Obama is making is that we need to transition from coal burning power plants built with old technology to plants built with advanced technologies — and that is exactly the action that will be incentivized under a cap and trade program.”
“After John McCain said he’d like to ‘transition away from coal entirely,’ his campaign is hardly in a position to criticize a coal state Senator like Barack Obama who has outlined a $150 billion investment in clean coal and other technologies to create jobs and build a new energy economy,” Strickland said. “The truth is, John McCain and Sarah Palin can’t name a single thing they’d do differently on the economy than George Bush, so all they have to offer is last minute, desperate distortions. Hardworking families don’t need more Washington-style political attacks, they need a President who will create jobs and stand up for the middle class – and that’s Barack Obama.”

Wake up America! 80% of black folks will vote for obama simply because he’s black (Powell) and that’s not racist but if white folks don’t vote for him because he’s black their called racists?
He preaches “change”. The change we will see will be another deep depression caused by adding more taxes to the people who create jobs forcing them to take their business elsewhere. The same happened in 1932.
obama has done a great job of “branding” himself and most of the media except for Fox News has been in the tank for him. When 70%+ of the military is voting for McCain that tells you something about how they feel about his leadership qualities compared to obama.
His 1 page resume is no contest to McCain’s lifetime of service to his country. Like Schwarzenegger said ” McCain has spent more time as a POW that obmama has spent as a senator”. Well said governor.

When I look at obama is see a man has spent 2 years serving as a senator who accomplished nothing, spent 2 years campaigning and spent 650 million (200 million of which is untraceable) dollars while his brother lives in Kenya earning 1 dollar a MONTH and an aunt who lives illegally in a slum in Boston! Oh yeah he really has his brothers back.
When I look at McCain I see a man who has spent his life serving his country from 17 to 72. obama is not even 1/100 of the man that McCain is. This election is a joke in that a man like obama could ever get this far. You obama supporters will get change all right. You’ll be smiling when he takes over your 401K plan, takes your money and gives it to people who don’t make any money, reduces our military spending by 25% (now that’s a good idea in the state of the world) nationalizes health care so we can all sit on a 2 month waiting list to see a doctor like the Europeans.

As to your personal attacks on Gov Palin and Mrs McCain – relevance?
Barack Obama used coke where’s the outrage, arrest? Mrs McCain was punished for her painkiller addiction. Gov Palin loving her daughter so much that she forgave her for a sin against God? Are you objecting to the loving part, the forgiving part, that her daughter’s havng the baby, … what? As you know because it has been well documented, John McCain was COMPLETELY EXONERATED (that means cleared) of all wrongdoing in the Keating case and the prosecutor himslef admitted that he was only dragged into the proceedings as the token republican so that it wouldn’t be an all Dem clase (which it turned out to be as 3 Dems were charged and John Mccain and John Glenn were exonerated) So, again, your point? And I repeat: racism? accomplishments?
It would be lovely to know something about how Obama did in school but he has sealed all the records – seems they don’t support the fairy tale narrative that he wants people to believe. Still waiting for the list of accomplishments

I think McCain will love this poster. I think he’ll frame it. Joe Var seems to have lost the plot … Not sure what he is trying to say, but it sure sounds nasty. I guess that must mean he’s voting for McCain. I’m not. Obama-Biden 08!!!! Vote People…. VOTE like YOU are the tie breaker. Remember Joe Var – he’s nasty, he’s mean and he’s a registered GOP voter. Be in Line and be on time. Don’t be Complacent now – every vote counts. Make YOUR vote count!!!!!!V O T E!

I take that back I’m not anti plumber – my grandfather was a plumber – I’m anti thick headed bald mouthpiece – I’ll be glad when Joe the plumber and Northern over-exposure Sara go away.

You all are forgetting – conveniently – that the whole race argument is moot. B. Hussein Obama has far more Arabic and white blood than black. Look it up.

Racism has been one of the greatest persistent scourges of this great nation’s history. Those who would deride Obama for being black (via the 1 drop rule)or benefiting unfairly from “affirmative action” doubt his native qualities without cause. I’m sorry, but none of the criticisms of Obama stick– Obama/Biden is ostensibly the better ticket for everyone and this nation. Keep your opinion, but if McCain/Palin makes sense in your head, fellow Americans, then you need to think again or get it checked. Love, Javi.

People Wake Up! Barack Obama is just as
much White as he is Black! Skin color is
NO way to judge anybody! What’s important is what the candidate stands for! OBAMA 08!
