Obama spokesman: His dollar bill comment wasn’t about race; Update: Full quote added; Update: Obama camp backpedals

Yesterday in Missouri, Obama predicted McCain and the GOP would use racially-tinged attacks against him.
“What they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama said. “You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”
An Obama spokesman denied that the line about “dollar bills” was related to the Democrat’s race.
That comes from Jonathan Martin at Politico, who’s properly skeptical that the Lamb didn’t mean to insinuate what he clearly meant to insinuate. I e-mailed Martin with the link to Ed’s post from last month noting that Obama’s language then was almost identical to his language last night, with the notable exception that the race charge was made much more explicitly. We’ll see if Martin updates. Flashback to June 21:
“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid.
“They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”
Here’s a clip from yesterday. Judge for yourself from the audience’s encouragement whether they took his meaning.
Update: The quote from Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs. Unadulterated crap:
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said the senator was not referring to race.
“What Barack Obama was talking about was that he didn’t get here after spending decades in Washington,” Gibbs said Thursday. “There is nothing more to this than the fact that he was describing that he was new to the political scene. He was referring to the fact that he didn’t come into the race with the history of others. It is not about race.”
Update: More crap, slightly adulterated this time, as Team Barry tries desperately to undo a very stupid mistake.
“This is a race about big challenges—a slumping economy, a broken foreign policy, and an energy crisis for everyone but the oil companies. Barack Obama in no way believes that the McCain campaign is using race as an issue, but he does believe they’re using the same old low-road politics to distract voters from the real issues in this campaign, and those are the issues he’ll continue to talk about.”

Precisely. In the eyes of the white-guilt crowd, anything truly American or any white male is passe. The grass is always greener on any other side and we need to be saved from ourselves.

BWHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, right. Washington was the consummate Washington insider. Lincoln? He spent his most of his life in Washington in his effort to become President?
Jackson? Known mostly for being a “milita organizer” (yuk, yuk) and was hardly in DC until president.
Grant? D’oh!
Obama is an idiot and who hires even bigger idiots like Robert Gibbs.

Obama said:
Wait, you thought that was about his race? Huh? No, he’s saying the McCain campaign is going to paint him as a dark, brooding, negative person. I don’t see how anyone thought “black” was a reference to race there. Leave the man’s race out of it, for heaven’s sake. Please. I’m begging you.
Paul-Cincy on July 31, 2008 at 1:43 PM
“He was referring to the fact that he didn’t come into the race with the history of others. It is not about race.” That’s confusing to people who will vote for the ‘black’, Bi-racial Man. (Sounds like a new comic character don’t it?)
Barry sounds more and more like he’s trying to be a stand up comic with a ’shuck and jive’ cadence. Oops, I played the race card. Well, he’s no Joker…(Heath better get an Oscar).

…Barack Obama in no way believes that the McCain campaign is using race as an issue, but he does believe they’re using the same old low-road politics to distract voters from the real issues in this campaign, and those are the issues he’ll continue to talk about.
Saying that McCain is not “using race as an issue” is not the same thing as saying that McCain is not using racist tactics and trying to scare people because Barry looks different and is therefore a risky choice blah blah blah. It only means that McCain is not preoccupied with the issue of race, so it’s a non-denial denial.
On another topic, I think it’s hilarious that Barry compared himself to Wild Bill Hickok during his Missouri tour. You know, he is kinda like Wild Bill:
Eulogized and ostracized, James Butler Hickok was alternately labeled courageous, affable, and self confident; cowardly, cold-blooded, and drunken; a fine specimen of physical manhood; an overdressed dandy with perfumed hair; an unequaled marksman; a poor shot. Born in Illinois in 1837, he was shot dead in Deadwood only 39 years later. By then both famous and infamous, he was widely known as “Wild Bill.”
Excavating the reality behind the myth, Joseph Rosa delves into the exploits and ego that defined Hickok and shows how the man was overtaken by his own legend. Rosa exposes a controversial and charismatic man–army and Indian scout, wagon master, courier, frontiersman, gunfighter, lawman, prospector, addicted gambler, and short-time actor–who was elevated from regional fame to national notoriety by inadvertently being in the right place at the right time.

Anyone with more than 3 brain cells knows Obama was talking about race. Oh, and AP, I doubt JMart will update his post. He’s a pretty big tool. I commented on another post with the following, but it really does warrant repeating…Journalists and commentators always avoid taking it to the next logical step (and I’m not really sure why)…weren’t Obama’s statements not just a simple case of playing the race card, but actually racist? Think about what he said. Neither McCain nor anyone from his campaign has EVER suggested that because of Obama’s skin color he shouldn’t be President and they have never employed any strategy to “scare” voters by envoking his race. Obama is suggesting that BECAUSE McCain is white, those racist intentions MUST be his true intentions. He is suggesting that BECAUSE voters are largely white they WILL be “scared” by his skin color. He is suggesting that there is something wrong with previous Presidents (the ones “on the currency”) BECAUSE they were white. Obama wasn’t playing the race card. He was playing the racist one.

The repetitive charges of racism has the effect of making me angry…I am not racist, but I suspect BO and his ilk won’t rest until everyone is (or at least accused of being so).
…and I suspect it will only enhance the “Bradley Effect” which is going to make the McCain landslide in November that much more fun to watch.

Stupid enough to cling to guns, religion and fear/hatred of those who are different from us.
If he’s going to use this kind of tactic at least he should have the courage to own up to it. Especially when you’re doing it so obviously. The arrogance it takes to think you’re so much smarter than everybody else that you can slide such crap past us is unbelievable.

Wow, now let’s watch everyone fall all over themselves trying to explain what Obama really meant by that comment. Because we’re all just too dense to get such nuance coming from such a superior being as Obama.
I agree with Allah’s earlier post (I think it was earlier) that team Obama is getting impatient that the evil RepubliKKKans haven’t shown their racist colors yet.

Uhh, yeah, because George Washington spent decades in Washington D.C., the city that was named after him and not created until after he became president. Obviously that is what the One was talking about.
JamesB on July 31, 2008 at 2:02 PM
I’m glad that McCain’s campaign called him out on it, directly. He and his minions, with the help of the media, defeated Hillary with this “racism” trick, and it has to be stomped on — not just to defeat him politically, but for the good of the country.
And the MSM, for all their boot licking, has sooner or later got to realize that they — anyone of them, including Matthews or the NY Times — could be the next target. Ask the New Yorker.

Had he said “I didn’t get here after spending decades in Washington” immediately after the dollar comment, none of this would be the giant mountain out of a molehill that it is.
But I totally understand why you’re all so delirious with shrieky outrage.

Not too mention that G.W. Bush and Reagan didn’t come from Washington either. Every time Bambi sticks his foot in his mouth the campaign always comes back with an excuse or ‘clarification’ far more moronic than the original gaffe.
By the way, Alexander Hamilton doesn’t look like any of the Presidents on our money because he never was President. Come to think of it, neither was Benjamin Franklin.

peacenprosperity on July 31, 2008 at 2:09 PM
I wouldn’t be a damned bit surprised if Michelle Obama is behind this playing of the race card, leaving the professionals running the campaign to have deal with the damage control. I just don’t see how a campaign that has been run excellently up until now decides that this is the right thing to bring up in a general election.
Mark1971 on July 31, 2008 at 2:11 PM
Dave- can you explain what looking like people on dollar bills has to do with spending years in Washington?
It really isn’t Obama that scares me so much. It is his believers. Even Andrea Mitchell is worked up that McCain’s people compared Obama to “celebrities”. A word, she says, that has ‘connotations’. And, she says, why not use Tom Cruise (because then we’d hear it’s anti-gay, or calling Obama a scientologist, or about the Nazi movie he made in Germany) or Bono (because that would be a a compliment). Gad, at least they didn’t use Michael Jackson.
It is as if McCain commits a sin for not protecting Obama.

Dusty on July 31, 2008 at 2:15 PM
You can’t be serious. First of all, there is nothing he could have said would have made his idiotic statement any less idiotic. Tying it in to spending decades in Washington only makes it all the more duncelike since (as has been pointed out by numerous commenters) not even Washington spent time in Washington. The bottom line is that Dollar Bill Barry is a clueless dolt when it comes to history and his race-baiting tactics are abominable.
Secondly, I don’t see any “shrieking”, except from you. Barry is applying for the most important job on the planet yet you seem to think it’s a sign of “delirium” to point out his jaw-dropping assertions and worrisome errors of judgment.
That is what I call “Orwellian”.

I told my 23 year old daughter about bHo’s recent comments on race and playing the race card. She said McCain needs to announce that he (McCain) is older, more experienced and Obama is not black.
I do recall getting an e-mail about bHo and his lineage. I did not save it, but it said he was 6.25% black and the rest white and majority Arab. His daddy being only 12.5% and the rest Arab.
Any one else get any info like that?
Do Arabs concider themselves black? No?
If he is going to bring up “race” then let’s find out who exactly he is.
Course that would intail looking under the bus.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. This is something like the hundredth time Barack has referenced himself as “the President” (or, included himself in reference to “the Presidents”).
I’ve read about people who think they’re Napolean and more than a few others who believe in “reincarnation” who always identify past lives as Queen This or Ruler That (but, interestingly, they were never a housewife of a hak-rancher in Mongolia or some street sweeper from Somalia or a slothe in Bornea), anyway, I’ve read and heard about people with delusions like these and Obama’s displaying all the same characteristics of these. His “Grand European Tour” (so-called) was more than enough proof of that.

Barack Obama is a presumptuous and elitist World Child Emperor, a la Romulus Augustus, as far as his experience for this job is concerned.
His ideology is socialist/Marxist, with an anarchyst creepy wife. He’s a black Hugo Chavez, veiled in a non-transparent curtain, so the lemmings wouldn’t find that out, in time.
Anyone, I mean anyone, who sees racism in that, go get yourselves on a psychologist’s couch because I don’t care.
