The comments presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) made about his race in Union, Missouri on Wednesday--was not the first time Obama talked about his expectation that the Republicans will use race to detail his candidacy.
Last June at a Florida fund-raiser Obama--the first African American to have a viable chance of becoming president--said the GOP will go after him because he is black.
Obama said then, "The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy. We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid. 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?"

Every chance you get Obama you are talking about your blackness, You Obama are "playing the race card" , you want America to vote for you because of your skin color,and you are constantly laying it out there for "the People of the World to see" .
Obama I am not voting for you.. exactly because You are way too liberal, have no experience, and because your Middle name is Hussein, and well Obama you will just have to live with it. I don't care if you are black , purple with pink polka dots, you ain't worthy of sitting in the Oval office.
I personally do not like you Obama, you are not impressive and you are shallow..an empty suit.
Nice try Liberal media. Obama has played the race card throughout the campaign.
“Obama worried GOP will inject race into campaign at Florida fund raiser in June,” ...before he would be able to do it himself. So he beat them to the punch by bringing it up now.
I’m worried that Obama will claim “racism” in EVERY disagreement to his Socialist agenda.
Hey Barry, why not take on your POLITICAL critics and deny your Marxist leanings?
Oh, thank you!! He’s the only one injecting race in this campaign, time and time again! THE MORON!!!!
Wait? Obama’s Black? How ever would I have known?
The only one talking about race is Obama. He is the racist.
The irony is that Obama’s single greatest accomplishment, certainly the only one that is responsible for his being in the position he is today, is that he was born black.
Ferraro had it right. If Obama was “Barry Jones” a white state senator from Illinois, no one would know who he was.
You probably never heard that John Kerry served in Vietnam...
Obama is a very emotionally warped individual.
Now in 2008 it is “Obama’s black?” like it was in 2004: “Kerry was in Vietnam?”
They do these things to themselves.
He’s just a typical ‘Rat-he can raise the issue when it helps him, but if anyone else does, because he does, it’s wrong. Just typical liberal ‘rat hypocrisy. They have an entrenched pattern of being hypocrites on any and every issue. They don’t even care that everyone can see that they are, as long as they keep doing it, and the Republican leadership never calls them on it. They make me more exasperated than Obama, he’s just doing what ‘rats do.
Absolutely amazing! The next thing you know, you will tell me that Nixon sent him into Cambodia before ol' Tricky Dick was elected.
.” And did I mention he’s black?”
And how will his press agents spin this statement?
“Oh it wasn’t the race card at all. He was trying to say they will say he’s a hack and it just came out wrong.”
“The only one talking about race is Obama. He is the racist.”
He must be a typical black Dem.
That's like restaurant owners saying it was their competitors who put MSG in the food.
If you don't believe Obama is black watch CNN or MSNBC, they are constantly breaking down voters as black and white, and spouting Obama will carry black voters... why you ask? because they claim Obama is black.
Obama wasn’t so worried when his pastor of 20 years Rev. Jermiah Wright injected race into his sermons. Obama doesn’t mind when his favorite rapper Ludicrous ..injects race into his rap.
The only person putting race into this is himself!
>>”Wait? Obama’s Black?”<<
He’s actually grey. White (mama), black (papa) = grey
