Obama deals the race card

It's a fact: Barack Obama was the first of the two presumptive presidential to inject race into the contest.

Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me, Obama said. 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 the dollar bills.

Once Obama is away from the teleprompter--look out. The junior senator from Illinois made those comments at a town-hall style meeting yesterday in Missouri.

John McCain has suggested a series of ten town-hall style debates, the Obama campaign has not been enthusiastic about McCain's idea. After last night's blunder--it's easy to see why.

UPDATE August 1: Barack Obama's chief guru David Axelrod brings up race in regards to the McCain "celebrity ad." Red State reports.

All 52 Cards, John, and the two Jokers are race cards.

That's all his campaign has and that's all that it ever had -from Clinton through Philly to November.

That's Axelrod's playbook always was and always will be.

Which campaign was complaining the other candidate was being presumptuous and uppity?

...Jealousy sure doesn't wear well on you guys.
