Obama on US Currency...

[BrAinPaiNt]

Well we know the recent line about obama saying that they will try and tell you he has a funny name and he doesn't look like the other presidents on the dollar and so on.

Well oddly enough check out this McCain ad from JUNE.

Hmm...

there were a LOT of things they were "changing" and they were making fun of his CHANGE mantra more than him on the dollar bill. i don't think this was "race" related.

But .... but it has to be ..... Obama is half black right? That means if you make fun of the fact that he is running on the vague idea of change, it has to be a race related attack.

It is funny because He made some claims and people were up in arms.

However in the past, people did make fun of his name, and what do you know a McCain ad with him on US Currency.

People can complain all they want but it is funny non the less because what he has said is basically true.

They have taken those tactics.

McCain has not tried to portray Obama as a scary black man ..... if anything McCain is portraying Obama for what he is ...... an inexperienced young guy who is running with the full backing of the press and on a message based on "change" and "hope" with no substance behind it.

Obama is portraying McCain as an old guy out of touch with the people who will die soon and and will only continue the actions of the devil Bush until he does.

Neither will openly take cheap shots at the other ...... both will do it through people they will then publicly berate and distance themselves from till after the election.

gee - you'd think it's what we do all around. how come some people want to be exempt from it like they're above it all?

noticing a person is black does not make that person racist but we've sure gone off in that direction.

you saying the obama camp isn't doing some childish things, bp?

If this is all they got, bring it.



----> McCain <----himself



What was he saying about substance? It seems he's implying Obama doesn't have any. But I don't see any on his part either.


Stooooopid.

Hmm...

Are you trying to say this ad was about his race?

[bbgun]

David Axelrod already conceded that they were making a (negative) racial appeal, so this is much ado about nothing.

No...geez.

My point was, he brought up the funny name thing...which was true because McCain already denounced someone using it in a pre-speech warm up.

Then the us currency thing seemed to come out of nowhere...until we see that it was in regard to an ad that ran in june.

Hope he did not star along side Jeff Gannon.

I think it was not to say he doesn't LOOK like the guys on the money. The point was his "change" mantra. He did indeed change the presidential seal, so they were poking fun at that. The only thing he talks about changing is things like that. This has nothing to do with what Obama was talking about. He was referencing his looks, and McCain's ad was referencing things that Obama did or might do.

Showing Barack Obama Playing Basketball Now Racist [Greg Pollowitz]

So says New York Magazine:

The racial undertones of this assault are subtle but undeniable, as Obama himself suggested when he asserted last week that his opponents are trying to make voters “scared” of him because he “doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency.” They’re most glaring in “Troops,” which features footage of Obama sinking a three-pointer in Kuwait, despite the fact that the shot took place at a military base, which undermines the ad’s argument. But the spot’s deeper aim is to foster an unconscious simile: Obama as a blinged-up, camera-hungry, NBA shooting guard, Allen Iverson with a Harvard Law degree. Am I reaching? Consider this: Would the ad have featured footage of Obama on a golf course draining a hole-in-one? “No, it wouldn’t,” laughs a GOP media savant. “The racial angle is the first thing I thought of when I saw that ad. It fits into the celebrity stuff, too.” (For McCain, that impolitic, pro-Obama Ludacris track was manna from hip-hop heaven.)

If that's the case, from now on, Barack Obama can't show photos of John McCain in his ads. Because McCain is old, actually showing pictures of him will now be considered as ageism.

Obama just needs to use Younger pictures of McCain in his ads, Pictures from McCain in 2000...in other words copy Fox.
