Guess which card Obama pulled out of the deck today?

With both Rasmussen and Gallup showing Barack Obama moving backwards even before the Republican Convention dropped its balloons on Andrea Mitchell, one can excuse the Democratic nominee for hearing footsteps. How desperate has he gotten? Looks like he’s playing the race card once again:

“I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told executives and employees of the Schott glass company Friday afternoon, “and I just want to be honest with you. I know that.”

“And I know that the temptation is to say, ‘You know what? …The guy hasn’t been there that long in Washington.,’ You know, ‘he’s got funny name,’ You know, ‘we’re not sure about him,’” Obama continued. “And that’s what the Republicans, when they say, ‘This isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities,’ what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’

THE TRUTH FRIGGEN HURTS, don’t it, Obama?

He IS unpatriotic, refuses to put his hand over his heart when the national anthem is played, and does indeed have terrorist and communist connections.

It is not attacking someone to tell the truth about them.

“...These people just don’t get it.”

This line doesn't play well when people are already sensing a lack of confidence.

an excellent speaker

Only when he has a teleprompter. Otherwise, that cockatiel that was yelling for help looks eloquent compared to him. Uh, um, you know, um.

You are 100% exactly right. And heaven forbid he somehow does get elected, watching him try to play that card against say Putin or Ackhamangahajabad will only humilate the US in the world;s eyes. Most of the rest of the world wouldn’t put up with crap like “the race card”. If race is ever not going to be the issue it has to stop being raised when things don’t go the way someone doesn’t want it to go. We cannot as a country be asked to be color blind on one hand and then told we’re rasict when we are color blind.

Wow, it’s just so obvious that man cannot get elected, there are so many weaknesses that WILL get exploited by other leaders who know he’ll have no gumption to stand up for our country.

Obama plays it every time he feels the pressure.

Yep, sure sign of RCA (Race Card Addiction). He fell off the wagon. Back into treatment in Hawaii.

I thought maybe it was the orphan card. Even John McCain has a mother still alive, Sarah Palin has both parents, but poor Barry has no one but his typical white grandparents.

““I know that I’m not your typical presidential candidate,”

Actually, he is. Imagine Dukakis as tall as Carter, with the same tired failed policies.

Or even Walt Mondale, realizing he’d lost a month before the election, and still having to go through with it.

I don’t know what he’s referring to.

Right -- he's an excellent reader. He's got a promising career ahead of him creating Books on Tape.

Smoking perhaps. For kicks, I googled "blue lips smoking" and, strangely, Obama's blue lips have an interest. :-)

Obama will play the race card long and hard to make sure there will be riots in the streets if he loses. I lived just northeast of Detroit in 1964 when they lit the town up. It made the night sky glow.
