Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.
In March he gave a widely praised speech on the subject after receiving criticism over racially charged comments by his longtime pastor. Obama, who faces Republican John McCain in the November election, would be the first black U.S. president.

Pre-playing the race card.
And the McCain Whig Party has nary a thing to counter it.
Gnashing of teeth doesn’t count...

Bill Clinton liked to call attention to his race too.

Oh, rubbish. We’ll use his leftism to stoke fear, and that fear is fully justifiable: Obama’s ideas are a threat to economic vitality and liberty.

Yeah this new leader who is going to bring us all together is of course increasing the racial divide and antagonizing people on the right by keeping the issue alive. McCain ought to trash him for these tactics.

Funny accusation coming from a race hustler whose best pals include the worst race pimps in the nation. The new Obambi defense for his stupidity - “You’re just attacking me ‘cause I’m black (well, partly)!”

Golly Gee, Obama, some of my best friends are black. But I’m still voting for McCain because I am a republican.

Yep, it's the republicans who are highlighting his color. They keep saying, you know, first black President, first black this, that...Republicans also preach at Trinity Church racism for 20+years. You can believe in it, can't you?
