Obama Calls McCain Campaign Cynical, Not Racist

[ButterflyLullabyLtd]

I am white and Obama is not racist. I felt sorry for him when he met the Queen. How many white people were there? My Nan's letter: Grannie said once that her other grandchildren were fair-haired. She seemed to blame my mother - Burmese girl - for us being dark. Nan was made to eat and sleep in the shed with her brothers by church people when she was a little girl after losing her parents. Punished for not being pure English. If we do not talk about it changes will never be made. Rugby is racist!

[billb1114]

bam is a fraud

[camaroz28406]

obama is a racist. he doesn't need the facts he will just pull the black card and win their vote. The police were doing thier job man forcing and entering ask questions? wouldnt you do the same? i hate the direction america is going. blacks can be racist (and usually are) just throwing that out there

[skinheadboy1]

he's not racist you moron he's 80% white. hes mulatto he's not even black

[skinheadboy1]

and most blacks are not white. thats bullshit and such a "poor white victim" statement. I love how all pro white morons now pull the victim card. i know plenty of blacks who like white people and stick up for them when other black people blame the white man for their shortcomings. educate yourself instead of having a racist white victim fox news worshipper attitude. grow up

[fmrreligiousnut]

Do you think that the Honorable Mr. Obama was insensitive to the Cambridge Police department when he showed partiality toward his friend before he got the facts? How would you be treated if you did the same thing?

[TheScarfacedsniper]

would you look at that we have a colored president somthing new but hey its koo im not arguing its just that all these people are so pissed at the other race for picking obama which is real funny cause no matter what u do there is always gonna be a diffrent president either he's white black mexican dont matter as long as he help's and keeps his word on what he say's and by the looks of it somthing might happen in a couple of yrs just have faith on you're country

[mnnh1]

In this day and age the idea of a black president shouldnt be such a novelty. America is about one fifth minority groups. People need to get used to having somebody other than white males to vote for.

[pmmitza]

Obama is not African Amercan...he's a Mulatto.

[caboosetwin]

ha ha ha ha ahhaah aha obama's registered white

[gilliland111]

But he was brought up Muslim

[skinheadboy1]

no he wasnt that was a bullshit fox news rumour. his dad was muslim his mother is christian. he's 80% white and was brought up white conservative.

[crystalAura]

True, that wasn't your point, you were just adding your case upon what Obama mentioned, not necessarily agreeing with it.

Just because I don't think prejudice for name and ethnicity are valid doesn't mean I fall for propaganda/ideals.

[crystalAura]

I do hope to see us withdrawing our troops from Iraq during his Presidency. That's one change I'll be grateful for, that we took responsibility for what we did.

[skinheadboy1]

if we stopped voting for the lesser of two evils we could achieve that. obamas not bringing his troops back. they're calling for more troops right now. we're losing the fight in iraq...big surprise considering we werent even supposed to be there. iran is who we want

[crystalAura]

Nice.

[crystalAura]

Hey, you are making differences a case for rejection- "not like past presidential candidates in ethnicity or name". That is the start of prejudice, and it is not necessary.

[garyeberly916]

DON'T vote for Obama, DON'T vote for a guy just because he happens to be a BLACK and because Oprah says so. Look at the years of experience of his opponent and that should speak for itself. Obama hasn't responded any differently than any other polition when grilled with yes or no questions, nor does he specify how he's going to 'Change the nation', THAT in itself should be a concern

[Suburbankidd]

tsk tsk, so our other option WAS McCain, u know that mc is gonna die in bout 2 yrs or so, then we are stuck with palin, and she has exp?

[talentedyoungband]

u retarded sut da hell up

anyways..............OBAMA WON HA HA

[crystalAura]

haha... you just said, "Don't vote by race, vote by age." It isn't even about the number of years of experience, or else John McCain would beat even Reagan and Washington, he's the oldest.

It's about values.

[garyeberly916]

"haha.."? what are you a 7 year old retard? It SHOULD be about experience and not race. You're saying don't vote for the most experienced person for the job? Yes, that's real intelligent, thanks for your thoughts.

[crystalAura]

Most experienced for what job? Invading Iraq? McCain wants to keep fighting this war on terror and keep us in Iraq while Obama is ready to bring our troops back. What does that choice have to do with the number of years of experience? They're distinctions in VALUE, not age, height, sex, weight, or race.

[skinheadboy1]

the war on terror is bullshit. bush blew up the twin towers three explosions went off after the planes hit. bush did it because osama didnt want to work with him in the oil trade anymore and staged a "terrorist attack" we dont know who was really on that plane. nobody survived to testify it and i love how we have tribute movies for something we dont even know really happened. there is no war on terror. its a war for oil and money

[crystalAura]

Don't assume just because of age or number of years on the job itself makes a person conscientious, considerate and wise.

[garyeberly916]

Sounds like you got that out of a....Fortune Cookie... LOL

[crystalAura]

lol

[csrocker101]

dumbass

[Pentdad]

If he did the things you say he would be the most progressive, and greatest President ever to have existed.

Maybe he should get all you yanks drafted into the military, give the top 5% a nice big tax cut, get rid of your medicare if god help us you become both broke and ill, pass some juicy spying laws to further intrude your life, and smirk at the poor african children who are dying through no fault of there own.

Your quite selfish and misguided arnt you?

[PainlessTragedy]

EPIC FAIL!!!!!

[ashleehuerta]

Obama you're an absolute joke whoever votes for you is a fool

[shiki5876]

as opposed to whom? some old twat and a hockey 'mom' from eskimo land who believes man was created 6000 years ago?

Don't make the same mistake as your momma and papa sweetheart. Do not let your brother Bubba slide his dick up your hole.

[TonyaTko]

Nice Video!

I did one too about this whole debacle. I will send it to you. Tell me what you think.

-TonyaTko

[fac3308]

Our economy is in shambles and we still have people playing scrabble with Obamas name. What is scary is that these are the type of people that will put the republicans back in office. Help im surrounded by blistering morons!

[grandpaegg]

Articulate, intelligent, unique. Please win for us.

[nonpartisan4u]

I don't believe that one party is better than the other. For me, both Obama & McCain are qualified to run for President, and that change must start from within each of us, not just the gov't. I noticed though that there is something ominous about OBAMA-BIDEN partnership. Replace B with an S in OBAMA, it becomes OSAMA. Insert the letters NLA between the letters I and D in BIDEN, it becomes BINLADEN! OSAMA BINLADEN! Terrifying, especially if you reflect on 911 ominous signs.

[grandpaegg]

Replacing letters isn't terrifying.

[fac3308]

idiot.

[gotalittlecaptain]

Thank you! That's all I was trying to say.

[mugballeri3]

Shut your fucking mouth nigger before I come to your house and lynch your ass. You cotton picking, KFC eating faggots need to learn how to behave around your superiors. Niggers are such idiots. You guys might have some athletic skill, but intelligence wise you niggers are at zero. So dont get verbal with me nigger, because I will murder you big lipped gorilla. Fucking niggers. I wish we could bring back slavery just so I could whip your back bitch.

[mellowbrotha21]

lmao crackers like you are tough online but are str8 pussies in real life if you are ever in the Washington D.C. area send me a Message so i can kick your cracker ass.

[fac3308]

Amen. Our economy is in shambles and we still have idiots playing scrabble with Obamas name. What is scary is that these are the type of people that will put the republicans back in office.

[NESqik13]

Did your daddy beat you. Or did he make you touch his cock. O rmaybe he made you cook your own dog. No matter what you gotta somethin up your ass. Oh wait, its a big black cock!

[kasuwell]

see it's idiots like you the reason why this world is fucked up now your a piece of shit who need to jump off a bridge and land in a ditch ! stupdity doesn't have a color you can be black purple green white yellow and if u a idiot you're a idiot period !

[bobert432]

uhuh. black, hawaian, and indonesian arent the problems and it reaffirms his arrogance everytime he presumes that Americans consider these things negatives.

its the Marxism, radical affiliations, outright lies about his Muslim education (which doesnt mean he is a Muslim - but does mean that he lies), racial rhetoric, childish foreign policy, lipservicing of Christianity, nebulous econ policies and schyzophrenic opinions on everything from gun rights to withdrawling troops that concern us.

[gotalittlecaptain]

He's not African American, he was born in Hawaii not Africa. White ppl don't go around saying 'I'm a German American' just because their ancestors came from Germany, for example. That pisses me off. But whatever, I'd vote for him over McCain.

[boiballin]

his dad was black and he moved his family to hawaii before obama was born so yes he is african american don't twist up the facts

[gotalittlecaptain]

Obama still wasn't born in Africa. He was born in Hawaii. Thus, he shouldn't call himself an African American.

[deadlyedley]

where were black people taken from? and where is Hawaii? think man

[deadlyedley]

you are where you are born and also you are what your parent are as well, that plays a part in your upbringing, if a black kid was born in china, is he Chinese? or what his parents are? think man think,lol

[ChildoftheKoRnf9]

He'd be chinese. Wtf call it china if it only depends on hwo you look. A white guy born in africa is african. Thats why political correctness is flawed, you are not african american, you are American. All you peeps that believe in that bullshit keep segregation alive.

[gotalittlecaptain]

Hawaii isn't in africa I know that. Whatever.

[envious66]

then why do so many black people consider themselves african american? when they were born in the us?

[godzillaislarge]

im black, i hate it african- american, man im jamaican ^_^

[galactico2008]

One love

[explaining4u]

This is why:

To say that this election is not about racism is FOOLISH when 95% Blacks voted in Obama as PN are CLEARLY an indication of racism. The Whites, they do not vote 95% for McCain, but many FOOLISH WHITES who yet to wake up to learn how HITLER's public relations manager, Goebbels, once said, 'If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.'

All those that speaks for Obama had mostly lied against McCain and Palin TO DECEIVE THE IGNORANT WHITES.

AMEN IN CHRIST JESUS

[SampleSaurausRex]

obama is completly right

[djaxxx51]

Where are the white players on the USA basketball team?Mr. Obama, can you tell me?

[DDeCouto]

Obama is telling the truth, Barrack can bring more to the table. McCain knows he's a duplicate of the exact kind of presisent wev'e always had, a white male. So he uses that and by making Barrock seem like an iffy choice. But you don't need to be a white male in your 40's with a presidential background just to bring good ideas to the table. Ive read the book on Barrock's life and the truth is he probably suited to deal with the problems at hand.

[foxilocks2007]

Obama is right. The GOP didn't even wait until he wrapped up the nomination before they started their racial fear-mongering ads. McCain will too. GOP already began and McCain is a puppet for the GOP. MAVERICK NO MORE!

[djaxxx51]

Where are the white players on hte USA basketball team?Can you or Obama tell me?

[Viper007Mars6909]

Obama has no ideas at all. He can't make up his mind on anything. The only change he brings is his constant changing of his position and his mind. He talks in vague terms because he has No ideas at all. He's just young and dumb. He has no business running for president of the United States because he's done NOTHING in his life or in Congress to the present time.

[shaire99]

Viper, from your website I see you're into 'POLE DANCING'. Good luck with that one, however, I agree it's a better fit for you than any intellectual endeavor would be.

Your ignorance is mindnumbing. Obama's dumb eh?

OBAMA Columbia University, Harvard Law, President and Editor of Harvard Law Review, graduated 'magna cum laude', U of Chicago Law Professor, recognized for his major intellect.

MCCAIN High School C student, Graduated 894 of 899.  Five from the very bottom.

Smart enough? NOT

[zambatoo]

The only reason Obama held this press Event was because the NY Times actually for once pointed out that Obama is the one that injects Racism into his politics because he can't stand on his merrits.

Obama just came back from Iraq and the only way to get the press off his back about Iraq was for him to call John McCain a Racist for no reason.

Obama himself has called at least 5 people racist since the beginning those people ended up fired or lost votes.

Obama needs to lose his Senate Seat

[chriscrimson98]

yeah...uh...Obama is uh...really really uh...articulate and he uh...speaks with such fluidity and uhmm...uh..you know...Beavis and Butthead might just be better speakers than Obama...

[USIndependent]

Never, "Jihad 09" if Obama gets elected. He does not represent African Americans. If your black and you risked your life in the military or your family members were in chains don't vote for Obama. NoObama, repeal NAFTA, deport all illegal aliens and invade Mexico if they look the wrong way. One World Government is coming and Obama is not its leader.

[Mychaels]

Hes not the typical candidate. We are not the typical country. We are different in many different ways. Therefore I think Mr Obama would understand us better than McCain ever could. If you vote for McCain it will be like voting for someone who could be down right vicious if he does not get his way. That is quite scary since we are having problems with other countries.

[cungilez]

I have enough of stupid President. Please vote for Obama 08.

[Hotshortie]

It was so nice to see the world waving American flags when Obama visited instead of burning american flags like they did when bush visited around the world.

McCain camp is throwin' every piece of garbage because they are mind dead on issues that effect america. McCain is in the gutter. His old yellow teeth, gray skin, the huge goiter the side of his face and McCain has

McCain has No new or real ideas on how save America

[chriscrimson98]

they were waving the freakin flags because they know that Barry is a socialist just like they are...think before you speak...

[Hotshortie]

Obama is intelligent. It will be nice to have an intelligent president. It' for the United States that our President is SMART!.

McCain graduated at the bottom of his class. McCain is another dumb McBush.

[TheNavigateur]

McBush! hehe

[willhunting1995]

Go Obama, show that asshole Bush what a real president will be!

[2025DPlaza]

Obama is a race-baiter appealing to the sympathy of the American people. Just because I am not a racist and like black people, does not mean I have to vote for you.

STOP TRYING TO FOOL ME--This isn't American Idol.

[roughouser13]

Obama is being forced to defend himself from constant and repeated character attacks by the McCain campaign. He is unpatriotic, craven, egotistical, ambitious, "other." It really is quite cynical and disgusting. Obama tried to raise a defense and in doing so made a mistake. The McCain campaign is not being racist. But McCain is playing upon Obama's "exoticism" to stoke fears. Realize who started this ball rolling. McCain has some class but conservative talk radio and blogs don't.

[chriscrimson98]

face it...Obama is just on defense...PERIOD....

[wtfoof]

LOL,LOL, LOL!!!!!

It McCain that is on the defensive. McCain lies about Obama visiting the troops, he lies on Obama, wanting to tax electricity, he lies on Obama's nuclear power stance, he taunts Obama to go to Iraq but when he goes he's all upset! Now tell me who's defensive?

[Viper007Mars6909]

wtfoof, Do you even know what you are talking about? Each and everyone of your statements are so foolish that it's not even worth the time to go through them. Try to read the news before you make vague statements that are not based on facts. Or at least be big enough to admit you were wrong. Obama is a joke candidate. What more is there to say?

[wtfoof]

Give me one! Prrove to me McCain isn't a liar!

[Viper007Mars6909]

Obama isn't president yet so people are still innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is on you. You made the statements now prove them. Or like Obama, do you think you can say anything you want in the vaguest of terms and people are just supposed to accept them? Change, Hope, what does this mean without explaining it? It means nothing. Obama means nothing. Obama thinks nothing. Obama stands for nothing. Obama wants power and he thinks he can convince the sheep to follow him.

[wtfoof]

McCain has changed his mind on torture, on Bush's taxes cuts on the top 2% of the richest people in the country, on Roe vs Wade, on the evangelicals (calling them the agents of intolerance the cozying up to them), condemned the swift boat people during the 12004 campaign but now has them on this 2008 campaign, abandoned this own campaign -finance law, was anti-ethanol now for it, thats to mention a few! Apparently you can't read because I states the lies which were on every news show (more)

[wtfoof]

Even his fellow republican say that he is wrong! Every thing Obama has stated is on is website and if you got off your lazy ass and did some research you would find out they are there.

No Asshole, I put out the material and gave you facts and you reply with the same old republican hate speech! All I asked is you give one example of the issues and you can't even do that! You don't even know how to debate!

[omarhea1]

that's the kind of president we need not 4 more years of the same!!!!!!!.

people wake up. 8 years was terrible if we elect another 4 more years ,then we got what we deserve.

1-TERRIBLE ECONOMY AGAIN

2-MORE WARS AGAIN

3- AN A ADMINISTRATION WHO DOES CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ,WHO THINKS THAT WE ARE" WHINNIER S AND THE HARDSHIP FROM THE BUSH ADMIN IS ALL IN OUR HEADS"

QUOTE PHILL GRAHAM-MCCAIN TOP ECONOMIC ADVISER!!!!!!!

[katie0edwards]

I hate this idea of the "race card." Race may not exist biologically, but no one can deny there is still extreme forms of social racism in this country. If Senator Obama wants to point out he's black, that's his prerogative.

[marissacalderon]

FACT: Obama voted FOR the Patriot Act and FISA. Which is the same as pissing on our Constitution and lighting it on FIRE. He is EXACTLY the same as McCain. Since Obama has become a senator he has voted for every bill for Iraq totaling in $300 billion dollars in expenses. Not only that, but he has collaborated $200 million for his campaign, where do you think that money comes from? CORPORATIONS. MCCAIN AND OBAMA CARE ABOUT CORPORATIONS NOT YOU. Vote third party.

[ClassicFIHD]

Hey Mr. Obama.

And this is why you mentioned you look different than the other Presidents on the dollar bills.

How do you explain a few weeks ago when you gave almost the same speech and you said, "He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"

[oaklynlen]

schrub, and McGeezer want a policy of go it alone, when it should be an international affair,. and remember one more thing when schrub went to europe he was being hung in effigy.

[oaklynlen]

as for the race card, i'm afraid that it was McGeezer who played it. that hilton-spears commercial was reminescent of the corker-ford race in tenn. in 2006. obama merely responded to it. and the press and media (you think their liberal, NOT!)have been sort of adding more fuel to McGeezers fire,not the other way around. now as to "hissocialist love affair with europe". the war on terror should be an international affair. remember england and spain had to deal with it too.

[oaklynlen]

TruthIsBrutal; i might agree with you if the candidate running against him were someone else. but John McGeezer was and is a career politician who i think doesn't savor a thought of being defeated. he's been in politics for 25 years, and has never lost.he is a man who in 200 called robertson and falwell "ageants of intolerance" now he grovels for their votes. at one time he was somewhat of an environmentalist senator. now he has become another g.o.p. slave to BIG OIL,GAS,COAL,AND NUCLEAR.

[TruthIsBrutal]

Trust me. There are a lot of things I don't like about McCain. That said, he's still head and shoulders above Obama. All Obama has to do is open his mouth and people start fawning, "Isn't he articulate?" (Open vomit bag here.)

McCain automatically got my vote when he decided that offshore drilling was not such a bad idea after all. And he'd win me over even more if he'd come to his senses and point out that the global warming terrorists are full of b.s. But I'm sure that'll never happen.

[orinocojones]

Why would anyone vote for McCain????

[texasmama101]

because believe it or not some americans still

believe in bush and his failed policy and due to the fear tactics that this admin has used some ppl realy believe that we have to stay the course to b safe and that mcain is the best man for the job myself i believe he is a warmonger like bush! and he will hurt our economy more than the reps already have

barack 08

[orinocojones]

Well yeah... if after 7 years of Middle Eastern Warfare your country is 7 Trillion Dollars in debt (and rising)... then to claim you need to stay the course is InSaNiTy... Some say they might want to stick it out 10 years... at a price of 1 Trillion per year that's 50 Trillion in debt...

Add to that the simple idea that most people want to see the Constitution reinstated - curtail lthe wire-taps and secret prisons, extreme rendition and torture facilities...

...why would you wanna vote MCain?

[texasmama101]

right!

[TruthIsBrutal]

What am I missing? Is there something wrong with saying someone is risky? Good grief.

And this whole racist thing was started by Obama! HE created the controversy where there was none. HE pointed out the fact that he was black...not the Republicans. He WANTS the conservatives to make race an issue. But they're not; so he has to manufacture this garbage himself. Pathetic.

Obama's issue flip-flops, his socialist love affair with Europe and a blank resume...God help us if this guy is elected.

[bboucharde]

efeez1986, Thanks for your thoughts. Re: McCain, I meant that he has good intentions and probably means well. However, he does have a sarcastic and even sardonic element to his personality that in fact would NOT be appropriate for a president at a time when so much of the world views us with resentment, suspicion, and even alarm. I recall when he made his famous parody of a Beach Boys tune ("Barbara Ann"), singing it as "Bomb, Bomb, Iran." That one gaffe probably lost him a million votes.

[goldkas]

Check out McCain! Google "john mccain old shit" and the youtube video on it

[AmbitiousERIC]

wooooooooo go obama!!!!!

[chouettekawika]

Let me remind you "Our HOPE" is Yeshua not McCain, Obama, nor any man

[GirlyVoice]

cuckoo cuckoo

[chouettekawika]

i graduated from Hawaii Pacific University and spent some time in Hawaii. i observed how the 4th of July is celenrated in the mainland USA and Hawaii. To make things short - King Kamehameha is not one of our founding fathers. In otherwords, the law of where a person need be born in the USA to be a USA president-- the law needs to be a person born in the 48 contigeous states.

[GirlyVoice]

who cares though?

[albfek39]

go obama08!

[bboucharde]

As a conservative, I have scrutinized and listened closely to Senator Obama for one year. Though he is a Liberal Quasi-Socialist, he is also very articulate, intelligent, scholarly, personable, diplomatic, and educated. As president, he would certainly build better relations with many countries, including Russia, which is our most important world neighbor, by far. Senator McCain is a brave, sincere man and a nice guy, but this is not his time--he has not grasped the altered world paradigm.

[charliebaird13]

I wouldn't go as far as calling McCain sincere, but you are right

[efeez1986]

Thank you for your honesty, it's hard to find intelligent comments like that on Youtube. At the same time I don't know if you can really say McCain is sincere when he's going around making jokes about I.E.D's and soldiers are getting blown up and killed from them in Iraq.

[Pedroskini]

bboucharde: Yours is one of the most objective and mature opinions I have found on YouTube. I wish more people were as objective as you when posting, and not just rude and insulting. Thanks for posting.
