The 2008 Presidential race finally got underway yesterday as Barack Obama used his race to try and innoculate himself against criticism:
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Repub>icans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.
."It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy," Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. "We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid.
"They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"
He said he was also set for Republicans to say "he's got a feisty wife," in trying to attack his wife Michelle.
We expected it, of course. It is his greatest political weapon and he will use it again and again, shamelessly accusing the GOP of bringing up his race (even, as this proves, when they don't) in order to deflect criticism away from he and his wife for anything they say or any associations in their past.
The press will let him get away with it because they are terrified of being accused of racism themselves.
Let me just say to those doubters who may believe otherwise, take a walk through the comments section of this blog and others. See how many Obama advocates simply dismiss any opposition to their candidate as "racism." It is this simple minded sophistry that the candidate will use in order to quiet opposition to his programs once he is elected as well.
It has been asked "Is America ready for a black president?" Maybe a more relevant question would be "Can America see through a racial charlatan who will shamlessly use the color of his skin to avoid debating the tough issues and call his opponents "racists" for disagreeing with him?"
Above and beyond criticism.
But he’s not “Black”. He’s Mulatto — sorta beige...
“he expects Repub>icans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.”
No Mr Smartypants, we’re going to use the Liberal/Muzzie angle to make people afraid of you.
Reminds me of the early days of the O.J. Simpson trial. O.J. & his attorneys said they wouldn’t be using the race card. What happened? Immediately when the trial started, they started using the race card.
Osama “freakin’” Obama is no different.

Typical leftist tactic. Paint others with your brush and then tell them that if you oppose them, then you are, in effect, what they are, but what they will never admit openly.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
He is an empty suit....pick your color...still empty.
But you're not, BHO. It is not a fact at all. Our heritages are nowhere close to being the same.
Now, flap your ears and fly away.
I hope so.
The “Magic Mulatto” is invoking the race card again.
Why doesn’t he tell the 80% of black voters that he’s half white and that that they should think twice about voting for Mocha Obama just because of his skin color.
He’s neither black, nor white. Furthermore, culturally, his background has nothing in common with American Blacks. He was raised in a white family and lived in white/asian Hawaii.
Such a phony!
But alone in the booth, they'll vote for McCain. That's my guess.
I think I had a nightmare about Obama last night. Wish I could remember the details but I am pretty sure he appeared at one point in a turban.
hahhaha toooo silly
Well, he does go down to the Virgin Islands every chance he gets, to sit in the sun and get a little darker.
Of COURSE that’s what they’ll do...they’re typical white people.
/sarcasm
There are also reports his father was 87 percent arab.
If this is true he is hardly ‘black’ at all.

The potheads in “the media” were spreading some crap a few months ago about George Bush’s ancestors owning some of BO’s ancestors as slaves and that BO’s ancestors owned some of John McCain’s ancestors as slaves and they were all “cousins” or some horse dung like that. Does anyone have any idea how BO’s ancestors are connected to slavery in America since his mother was just “a typical white person” and his father was some kind of globetrotting, Marxist hippy from Kenya. Did BO’s ancestors sell slaves to the Americans or what? I don’t do drugs so all this garbage in “the media” is very difficult for me to understand.
B. Hussein Obama accuses republicans of using race to invoke fear. What was really going on was this: Obama was using race to invoke guilt.
There. Fixed it
