The Obama Plan For Victory
Aug 1, 2008 Political
The Obama team plans to use the words “attack ads” and “racism” to win the election. Every time the Republicans put out an ad, the Obama team calls it an attack ad. They claim the ads are misleading and untruthful. I notice they never say the same about the ads put out by them and their surrogates.
In addition to claiming all ads to be attacks (they are or why would you put them out) the Obama team will also play the race card. John McCain’s camp has already stated “Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck.” This is absolutely true even though the Obama folks try to spin things differently. Here is what Obama said:
Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face,” Obama said Wednesday. “So what they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, ‘He’s not patriotic enough, he’s got a funny name.’ You know, ‘He doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills. Herald Tribune
First of all, “nobody” is an absolute. Obama wants people to believe that there are no people at all who believe that McCain (forget Bush, he is not running in the race) has the answers. If this were true then Obama would lead in the polls instead of being in a dead heat. But the second part of the statement addresses this. You see, Americans don’t believe in what McCain says but are racists and are being scared because Barry does not look like the other presidents on dollar bills. We are all racists or we would look past his color and vote for him because he has all the answers. This is how the entire season will play out. Now, anyone who read or heard that statement knows what Obama was saying but his people had to nuance it.
But Robert Gibbs, an Obama spokesman, said Thursday that Obama was not referring to race.
“He was describing that he was new to the political scene,” The Associated Press reported him as saying. “He was referring to the fact that he didn’t come into the race with the history of others. It is not about race.”
The Obama statement was absolutely about race. Obama said LOOK LIKE. He did not say, not as experienced as all those folks on dollar bills. He specifically said LOOK. The only thing that looks obviously different is his skin color and that is what Barry was referring to.
They can spin this any way they want but the fact is Obama has made a similar claim in the past. At that time he specifically said they will scare you by telling you he has a funny name and he is black. The sainted one is definitely playing the race card as he did in the primary against Hillary and now he is being even more aggressive in the general.
Let me clear it up for the Messiah. There are some people who will not vote for you because you are black just as there are some people who will not vote for McCain because he is old. However, the majority of people who do not vote for you will be voting against what you believe in. We will be voting against your Socialist policies and your desire for vastly increasing the size of federal government while increasing our taxes along the way. We are not on board with Hope and Change as game plans for improving this country and we don’t want another obstructionist who will forbid drilling for our own oil.
No Barry, we don’t care what color you are because that is not important to the conversation. We care about what you believe in. We care about what you will do to our country and we care about how your policies will impact our military, our economy, and our safety. You are not experienced enough to lead this country and you are too far left (though you are feigning to the middle) for us.
However, I will ask this. Huge numbers of black people are voting for you and not McCain and many have stated they are voting for you because you are black. Does that make them the racists? How come you have not gone after them for their obvious racism? What about whites who are only voting for you because you are black, what are they?
No Barry, I am not voting for you because I do not believe what you believe and I do not like your political views. I am not voting against you because of your color so quit calling me a racist.
However, if it will make you feel better, I am voting against the half of you that is white.
