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.’

LOL why is Obama repeating all those things? It’s just going to remind voters of their suspicions of him.

He's beginning to sound like a broken record, isn't he? That's gonna get old real quick.

I wonder if she is going to spit some more venom at the American people like her best buddy, Jeremiah Wright.

Rattlesnakes, all.

The Black Racist had some wild eyes during that O'Reilly interview.

While I didn't stoop low enough to watch the entire Gasbag show tonight, I did see a few highlights.

Obama looked scared, desperate and totally rattled.

He knows what Americans have in store for him and his thugs.

Could not have said that better myself.

Obama is VERY rattled right now.

You should have seen those lunatic eyes he had on during the O'Reilly interview.

It was a classic sign of fear.

Obama hates white people.

Jeremiah Wright created a black racist organization hellbent on creating strife, hatred and rage toward white Americans.

Anyone who formulates a close personal relationship with such a horrific person is guilty of racism by association.

I am not fooled by Obama's token relationships with losers like Joe Biden.

That wife of his is even worse.

It explains his agitation and complaining during his hastily timed news conference after the O'Reilly interview.

The backlash is coming for Obama and his street thugs.

I also sense that Americans are sick and tired of these horrible media people.

He has no experience, he has no record, he has no judgment, he has no morals, he has no principles, he has nothing but the race card. What else can he do but bully the ignorant into feeling guilty that maybe they aren't voting for him because he's Black. Of course, it couldn't be because of his lack of experience, his lack of substance, his lack of conscience, could it?

Rivera commenting on the Factor about the Obama interview seems to agree with you that he did not come off very good:

Rivera: he did not look presidential. Obama came off seemingly equivocal. Parsed his answers and hesitant.

Which Republican has said “it’s not about issues, it’s about personalities”?

Someone should ask Obama which Republican said that. I’d love to see him say “uh” another dozen times.

"Did Obama forget he is half white? That his white Grandmother and Grandfather raised him, paid for his education? Evidently Obama doesn’t know who he is!"

The ‘you knows’bother me, the ums and ers bother me, and that odd way he has of the little rise and clip to the end of his sentences ... that bothers me also.

I’m beginning to get the feeling that I don’t like the guy and can’t stand the way he talks.
