MODU please realize that your annoyance is caused by your racism.

Also please realize that whatever McCain says or does, he is the not-black candidate and will win or lose based on this.  I'd say considering all you racists out there, his chances are very good.

however, you're showing your racism against fellow whites by making such an accusation.

You can't be 'racist against... whites' in America, Franzl.

I'll be happy to intorduce you to a few, though fortunately, they don't live in my neighborhood.

I really would wish McCain would call him on his constant attempts to play the race card, and I wish his supporters would open their eyes and see the light in this regard.

However, it was Obama (not McCain) that stated that he doesn't look like the others during his speech in Germany:

This crap is so annoying.  The more I hear him talk, the more I see a polished Jesse Jackson.  He' not trying to be post-anything.  He's stoking the fire, trying to reignite racial tensions for political gain.  But unlike Jackson, he does it with a cute little smile rather than a scowl.

Man, talk about reading a lot into nothing.  Wow!  And many complain about those who are "too politically correct" making a big deal out of nothing. 

Pot kettle black, my man.

The person who is comparing Obama with the "Americans who have previously spoken" and "all those other presidents on the dollar bills," is Obama, not McCain.  He's the guy making it an issue.  Yes, I have to conclude, Obama is playing the race card.

I know who is saying what, J.J.  What I am saying is that those who are somehow offended by Obama's minor reference to his status as a man of color are doing the exact same thing as those who are overly politically correct. And that in many cases, it is the same people complaining about Obama's comments who are most opposed to political correctness.

Obama started the race as a candidate who happened to be black.  I thought that was great; I referred to him as being "inclusive." 

Now he's, falsely, saying, ""So what [Bush and McCain are] 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."  No they are not; Obama is.

A number of people were troubled by Obama not having enough experience, certainly no executive experience; McCain's is scant, but still much greater.  A number of people were troubled by Obama relatively short time in government, even informally. 

I've become increasingly[/i] trouble by the lines he's drawing himself[/i].

methinks you dost protest too much.

No, I started out with a relatively high opinion of Obama, to the point of being undecided in a race between Obama and Romney.  If the election were between those two, I'd be solidly behind Romney.  My opinion of Romney hasn't changed; my opinion of Obama has.

Obama has withdrawn the remark.

That's good, I do not think Obama should blame Mccain for the race-baiting that will go on.

A lot of it might NOT have gone on, but for Obama.

Which he did!

OMG!!! Shocking!!

I mean, come on people. Did you guys actually think sh**t like this was never going to happen? It was inevitable.

I had hopes, early on, that the campaign would transcend this.  That Obama did it is extremely disturbing from someone who claimed to be "inclusive."

You really think McCain is totally innocent in this whole affair? You really think that, don't you? Wow.

I don't care about Obama's message of Change and Inclusiveness, really. I said it before, I support him, frankly, because I agree with him on my key positions more than McCain. It's that simple...

I think Obama has been using the same tactic since SC and has finally been called on it.  This isn't the Obama of IA or NH.

Please, people have been charging Obama for injecting race for some time now. This isn't something new.

Plus, you're avoiding my initial question. (It wasn't rhetorical...although you're making it seem that way, it seems.)

Until now, no one, that I know of, made that charge that he was, against McCain.  There was a question if he was against the Clintons (primarily Bill).

No, I did not think it was inevitable.
