Wow, now it takes a chief strategist to tell the truth.

Has anyone else noticed that Obama will NEVER take responsbility for his own words, or deeds?

It's clear Obama is using his race to further his campaign. That he's doing it at the expense of others is deplorable.

The Clinton's are masters of this techniques but it appears Obama can teach even them a trick or two.

He was also implicitly inviting his supporters to scorn George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of those snooty white persons.

No kidding.

Just imagine what this is going to be like in October.

McCain: “My opponent believes this country is divided into the haves and have nots...”

Obama: “My opponent has made it clear what he thinks of the “have nots”, and his racist comments clearly convey his disdain for people of color...”

I thought it was because, unlike the presidents on the paper dollars, Obama looks like a pencil necked geek.

I think Obama is looking more like Humptey Dumptey each day. He’s going to fall off the wall and crack. “And all the King’s horses and all the King’s men.........”

I might be wrong.

What “we” know is one thing. What the mass media spins, and the vast majority of Americans take onboard from them, is another.

This is when I wish I had my photoshop skills better honed and could get some of that “Mad Money” from the Mad Magazine board game I had as a kid and you wouldn’t have to change much to make Alfred E. Neuman (?) look like Barack.

Of course!

The Obomination and his surrogates are trying to make this a RACE, race. They want to guilt you into voting for this leftist moron. If you don't vote for this model of perfection than you are a RACIST! LOL!!!!

Not even sorry - NO WHITE GUILT HERE!

I wonder why this comment is drawing more attention than all of the other times Obama has said he “doesn’t look like” past Presidents (or other white people).

He just did it in Berlin, saying he doesn’t look like the previous leaders who stood before them. Michelle Obama has said stuff like, “I shouldn’t be standing here today” presumably because she is black.

This seems to be to be a theme, not an isolated comment.
