Obama plays the race card again.

[Sbane]

Republicans as always are overreacting. Obama is making these comments to downplay the role of the race card which will be played against him. The Mccain camp will not do it but considering he has the Rove team with him now I would not be surprised. But regardless of if Mccain does it or not, some republican 527 most definitely will. I mean they are already using it now asking questions like if we can "trust" Obama. What the F you think he is going to paint the white house black or something? You guys are as delusional as ludacris shiet.

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.

Haha what is this supposed to mean? Race baiting will go on because Obama is black and it will be done in a hidden way but it will occur. I sincerely feel Mccain will not do it considering he was the target of such disgusting tactics back in 2000 but again I will not be surprised considering he is slowly adopting Rovian tactics.

It's only racist because he must think all Hispanics are stupid. I, personally, felt intellectually insulted by that ad.

Well if you think he is being racist/ignorant against hispanics then that is your opinion. But I really doubt he is trying to flame up black-latino tensions.

exactly. how dare he bring race into the election... by being black...

By inferring McCain said anything about it.

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.

Do you really think injecting race into the campaign will help him? All he is doing is preparing people for the inevitable racist sh**t parade that is going to come after him. Sure he shouldn't imply that Mccain will do it unless he actually does it. But some of these ads that say "can you trust Obama" are borderline racist. Or at least they play to the racist sentiments of people.

older, poorer, less-educated hispanics seem to have problems voting for a black man. In the primary here, hillary did nearly as well among spanish-speaking Latinos as Obama did among blacks. Obama did noticably better among English-speaking Latinos. For all the talk about the need for a black-brown alliance, it doesn't exist outside of academia.

Oh yeah there is certainly a divide between the two communities, in many cases because they compete for the same jobs and live in similar neighborhoods and have similar problems. Both sides feel the other is getting preferential treatment and it just escalates from there. But when they are choosing between the democrat and the republican, many will choose the democrat more so than 2004 because of the nativist wing of the republican party. Remember back in 2004 Bush was promising amnesty for illegals living here and was promising a comprehensive immigration plan. We all know what happened then........
