Obama used race card to win election 2008

Why so negative Barry? Obama is now dragging the race issue into the sunlight — a race card throwing move that has to be considered both risky and a cheap way to escape answering celeb status, policy questions and flipflops
U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign accused Democratic rival Barack Obama on Thursday of playing "the race card" for the way Obama tried to deflect a negative campaign ad from McCain.
The campaign for the November 4 election has taken a negative turn this week after the McCain camp issued a television advertisement on Wednesday that called Obama a celebrity akin to star-crossed U.S. celebrities Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
In response, Obama said McCain was trying to scare voters away from him.
"So what they're saying is, 'Well, we know we're not very good but you can't risk electing Obama. You know, he's new, he doesn't look like the other presidents on the currency. He's got a funny name.' I mean, that's basically the argument -- he's too risky," Obama said in Missouri.
Obama, whose father was Kenyan, would be the first black U.S. president. Only white men, most of them former presidents, are on U.S. paper currency.
"Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. It's divisive, negative, shameful and wrong," McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said in a statement issued to reporters.
The McCain side also defended the "Celeb" television ad, which generated much publicity, and said the Obama camp was over-reacting.
"It celebrates the excitement that he has generated, that is certainly more akin to the excitement that a celebrity generates than a normal politician," McCain senior adviser Nicolle Wallace said on MSNBC.
But Obama adviser Robert Gibbs said on NBC's "Today" show that McCain is "running an increasingly dishonorable campaign."
"The McCain campaign has very clearly decided that the only way to win this election is to become very personal and very negative. We believe that people will see that as nothing more than the same old politics and the same old policies of the last eight years," he said.
Both candidates vying to succeed President George W. Bush have said in the past they planned to run campaigns that would stay away from negative attacks and mud-slinging that have marked some presidential contests in recent years.

@ThaSexyPatriot You understand that many Republicans played the "birther" card by demanding Obama reveal his birth certificate. Do you honestly think it would have been as big of a deal if Obama had been white??

This doesn't show any quotes and the actual quotes used does not show that he used the race card. The republicans do those kind of things to scare ppl into voting for them while they protect the interest of the super wealthy elite. They use scare tactics and religion and other tricks to fool the middle class into voting for them. No one has ever been able to show a true example of obama using the race card. Nothing but pure ignorance
