Personally, I think Obama should counter any "racially tinged messages" ads or whatever with true facts of what's happening in America. For example, he should show people in grocery stores picking up products and having to put them back because they cannot afford them! Most of these people are senior citizens on fixed incomes and working class Americans. Why would they vote for McCain if he is going to keep them in poverty and take the country deeper into a depression? Massive depression affects everybody! In fact, Obama, himself, needs to smile more! Moreover, Obama's team should shed light on fuel prices, including diesel fuel -- which is one of the main things driving grocery prices up. Today, many people have to decide between food and gas! I have seen people who travel distances to get to their jobs asking other service station customers for help with gasoline so they could get home! Every attempt to make race an issue should be juxtaposed with the truth of what is happening in this country. Race has little to do with people losing homes they lived in for decades or inherited from hardworking parents or other relatives! That is happening to people in general. Race has little to do with the fact that many citizens have little or no cash and have to sell what few valuables they have to survive! I say, instead of opposing "racially-tinged" messages, the Obama team should expose what is really happening in America and how making race an issue is going to keep it that way! If people are going to have a better life, they need to stay focused on that, not race!

He seems to be the only one bringing up race these days. Or am I not allowed to say that?

Obama has changed the Great Seal of the United States, including the motto, "one of many" to "we are able". He removed the shield over the eagle (the shield that protects the constitution) and has replaed it with his initial "O". Inside the "O" is a rising sun and he has adopted the colors of the United Nations, baby blue with white background. Mr. Obama is appearing in public with his new national emblem perched on the front of his podium. I know at this moment that many liberals are frothing at the mouth but every single word is the absolute truth and is being widely reported in the media. This is a major indication of the "change" this contender envisions for America. I wonder what kind of spin his handlers will convey when the flack hits the walls.

If people are going to have a better life, they need to stay focused on that, not race! All Obama is going to do, is take more money from me to give to people like you. Then instead of only one person needing the govt.(services) two will need them. I agree that things need to get better, but there has to be a better way then making everyone dependent on the govt. Or is that the plan?

He is race baiting.....WANTING people to give him something to complain about so he can respond as a VICTIM! You are a load of BS Obama, trying always to deflect to the main objection of your candidacy: YOU ARE NOT PREPARED....YOU HAVE BEEN AN UNDER PERFPRMER< no matter how much you try to exaggerate your past.

Okay is this how ignorant the GOP is - Hussein is the diminutive of Husan which means handsome, beautiful ... there are many Americans, not of Islamic decent, that have names of different origins - mostly from some type of Religious Reference. I am first generation American, my parents are from Greece - so my last name is unusual - but I would never give it up no matter what was said --- is this the way the GOP gets away from the real issues like Unemployment, health care and the war. That is dirty fighting and to lower ourselves to that level will show the World that we don't embrace diversity - and I believe that is the reason we are not liked elsewhere - we are no different than anybody else - we all have red blood and feelings and the bible says love ourselves as we love our neighbors -- maybe we need to start doing that SOONER than LATER

If people are going to have a better life, they need to stay focused on that, not race! Geez, you make it sound as if only democrats are suffering from the high cost of living. The guy is not a savior. Without the House and Senate, his "change" will amount to nothing more than political rhetoric. Bush gave the same stump speeches in 2000 about unifying the parties, why is Obama any different? Don't bother answering that, I'll just go to Moveon.org and get the usual media driven answers.

Obama adviser David Axelrod said the Democrat's campaign will be on high alert for code words or innuendo meant to play on voters' racial sentiments. "We're going to be aggressive about pushing back on anything that we feel is inappropriate or misleading," he said A.K.A...any critism or disagreement will be declared as rascism. Pathetic!

Obama is the Antichrist wrote: Obama's past needs to be scrutinized. He was raised by a radical, socialist mother, who herself comes from a pedigree of radical socialists that moved her to a socialist enclave in Washington. There is no connection to "Kansas values", as Comrade Candidate Obama wishes to make. The connection is to the education of his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, in a high school known for its radical socialist elements.
She moved to Hawaii, refusing to have anything to do with American men, consorting with an African national that has not been proven to have followed immigration laws, i.e., the man was an illegal alien, to conceive Comrade Candidate Obama. Said probably alien was also most probably not married to Mrs. "Obama", raising the question, just how did Barack Hussein get the Obama family name? Why isn't he Barack Hussein Dunham?
After her "husband" left her, she than moved to Indonesia, at a time when the communist insurrection had been brutally crushed, leaving bitter extremists smoldering. In this element, Comrade Candidate Obama spent the first half of his formative years, first attending an muslim school, which no one seems to know much about and about which he isn't saying anything. He then transferred to a cathoilc school - about which not much is known either, except that we do know that no catholic schools preach hatred, while we do know that many muslim schools preach hatred.
Comrade Candidate Obama was sent to Hawaii, so his mother could travel the world with his half-sister, fathered by an Indonesian man, who served as his step-father for a while, about which also very little is known. In Hawaii, he was turned over to the same parents that raised Stanley Ann, for them to raise and imbue with their radical socialist views. We know little about him, for few, if any, have stepped forward to have their anecdotes recorded. We only know what he claims in his book, this including that he was reinventing himself as black, instead of white and/or múslim. His rituals of passage include the use of drugs and allude to supplying others with it. It appears that he exceeded the "I didn't inhale." levels by a mile.
What more do we know? Dig, dig deep. Find out about the formative years of young Comrade Candidate Obama. Then compare him to McCain. You might think the latter to be too straight laced but, when you really think about it, who do you want to trust for the highest job in the country? Someone that has a shady past, that we might accept has pulled himself up, that is sure, but isn't nearly qualified enough for this job, either experience-wise or character-wise, or do you want to vote for a man that was raised by a family in a tradition that fostered service to the country, selected by an institution that has the highest standards and constantly proves this every generation? There are no questions about McCain's formative years. They are an open book and attest to his character and form the foundation upon which his prodigious experience has been built.
You get what you vote for. Think about it. If the majority of this nation is nothing less than a pack of self-destructive, socialist parasites wanting a more potent fix of the drug entitlement (sounds like ecstasy, a bit), then so be it. Let us hurry the collapse so we can completely sanitize the country when it happens. Believe me, there won't be anything left of the socialist structure that has been piled upon us since FDR's idiocy when the reconstruction is completed. We can only hope that there won't be any major problems caused by foreign elements that want to stand in the way of treason trials for the socialists that sold out our country. You can't possibly be this big of an idiot.

Our country is in BIG trouble if he is elected president. AND my reasons have NOTHING to do with race. HE IS CLUELESS on VITAL ISSUES. McCain in '08 and CLINTON in '12 The DEMS blew it BIG TIME

All the hullaballoo. all the name calling everything done and said. You cannot get away from the fact that this presidential campain will always have the underlying racial aspects. Will African Americans vote for Obama Will white americansvote Mcain. But one thing is for sure. if not Obama himself his supporters are playing the race card and have been. Just like Clinton played the female first woman president card. What is for certain is that if the vote goes purely on racial grounds. which after hearing alot of comments on talk radio from african americans and white americans seems to be a possiblity then who knows if the right person will be elected. Problem is .. both Mcain and Obama are wishy washy about policies and I dont see anything new for America. I dont see anything possitive just a continuation of where the usa is. BTW .. One talk show on radio a caller stated that the time was right for a black president to serve the needs of the black population. That kind of comment does more harm than good to Obama and to african americans. All i want is to see the right person with sound policies, a strong president to lead the country back to being respected in the world.. Not the laughing stock it is now.' Obama by almeans talk with osama bin laden but remember one thing.. The only thing on his mind and the radical is the destruction of non muslims especially the USA. This isnt going to go away with your personal chatter

And, we say that America is not racist. Wow! How could anyone think that a non-white could run for President and race not be a factor. The whole world is watching this election and race has alot to with it. Bfore anybody calls me racist, let me say that I am not one of those people who think all white people are racist. Many of my fellow blacks believe this and I often chastize them for it. Infact I think we are on our way as a nation in terms of dealing with this whole race thing. You can see the progress in the younger people. If race was not a problem then politiians and the media could not use it to minpulate the public. We all have problems with biggotry. White and Black alike have issues with race. Anyone that says differently is lying to themselves. I invite anyone on this board to tell me the reasons for their prejudice. I love to talk to people about their fears. I am still trying to understand why people would lump all people into on basket. When ever a misguided black kid commits a crime all black people are demonized why? The black guy driving the bus is all of a sudden a threat to everybody. Why? Will someone let me know this.

as good as it gets wrote: How can you remove the race issue when this whole thing is race. It's labeled Historic,Black man for prez, Unite black and white etc etc. Another attempt by the media to control the masses, we are confronted by another lazy assed opportunist compounded by the fact that he is mostly black fringed by blue lips and the white in his eyes.If Obama is half black and his pappy nonamerican, isn't Obama only half american ?
I just wish they would stop saying the "First BLACK man " - he is BI-RACIAL - get it - he's got a white mother who apparently doesn't count for **** in this election
A Chicago political hack, whose record is zilch, his background very questionable, his wife a militant radical, his mentors anti american and his political associations are in jail or about to go there. Please, somebody explain how this can happen. Black parent, white parent = BI -RACIAL - when will the press get it??????????

Correction to headline. Should read: Obama, the Spritual Faith Healer, attempts to position himself so that any criticism of any sort concerning his policy positions (on the rare occassions he dares to utter them) can be denounced as Racism.
