It was just a matter of time!

The Repugnicants have played the race card! Although, they are trying to put the blame onto Obama's camp.

The McCain camp has stated that Obama responded recently to the continued campaigning of McCant by stating, "So nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me," Obama said in Springfield, Missouri. "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 those dollar bills, you know. He's risky. That's essentially the argument they're making."

Without a pause, the Repugnicants went forward with the race card response in order move voters subconscious into the thinking that this was the issue at hand. Perhaps, Obama was referring to the fact that he is YOUNG. Every picture of an president on a dollar bill is "old" looking, like McCain. Perhaps, his quip was regarding that McCant is old and TOO OLD to be running the country.

Besides this possiblilty, I would also say that it is a given that a black man will have a different set of words and semantics regarding his position on any issue, just as a woman would over a white man, as well. This is not to say that the person using the statement is playing "the race card" whatsoever.

Thusly, the strategy of the Repugnicants will be to run away with the negativity and play the race dis-information card. They know that this is their only card to play as they have no agenda, just like moving forward with the war in Iraq to which they have blundered. With NO agenda, or new ideas for helping the country the candidate will always go to a smear campaign. We have seen this time and time again.

Just as Obama is moving forward with real issues, such as the economy and energy concerns, McCant knew they would have nothing to come back with positively for their campaign so they went for the jugular. It is well known how the human psyche works in regard to negative information. The catch phrase with the news media is that if it bleeds it leads. So, negative news is always on more than positive news. People react to negative and become complacent with positive.

This goes back to where I was headed a few days ago. It has come a time in our society that we MUST see through the mess of mis and dis-information that our media and politicians feed us as news and information.

Obama, McCant camp said, is more like Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. This is what sparked the comment tha Obama does not look like a President that is on one of our dollar bills and such. Obama is clearly stating that he has pulled a huge grassroots movement with the younger voting public which has created a societal movement. This has given him a popularity that McCain will never enjoy. This kind of popularity is something that has not happened since Kennedy and it is scaring the Repugnicants.

It has nothing to do with being black. Although, this response will hold the most power and response from the general public due to the inherent race issues underlining our society at large still today.

It is time we move beyond these smear tactics and think more deeply about the issues on the table and who is best to serve those issues. As the Repugnicants bringing up the racial issues and trying to convince the public that this is the issue is a simple tactic to move the mind away from the fact that McCain has NO stance on ANY issue. And if he did he would forget it and change his mind on it if the public moved in a different direction.

Obama, black or white, is a man who makes decisions and stands by them a lot more than any other modern politician. Perhaps this is what is scaring the public as they are not used to seeing someone with a bit more character running for the White House.

Well, it is time for CHANGE!
