McCAIN: OBAMA USED RACE CARD BECUSE HE CALLED ELECTION A PRESIDENTIAL RACE
By R J Shulman
WASHINGTON – The McCain campaign has stepped up its accusations that Barak Obama is using the race card saying that Obama deliberately called the election a Presidential “race.” “He could have called it a contest, but used the word race,” said McCain in an interview with a Cincinnati televison reporter, “in fact, an issue as derisive as race would not be used at all if Obama hadn’t chosen to be black.”

This new accusation came a day after McCain accused Obama of bringing up race when Obama said the GOP was trying to scare voters by saying that he didn’t look like Presidents on all those dollar bills. “I agree with that McCain guy who said that Obama was dealing the race card from the back of the bus,” President Bush said.

“We felt we wouldn’t have to resort to race bating this early,” said McCain aide Mark Salter, “there are plenty of ways to scare the bejesus out of voters by pointing out that Obama has a terrorist name, has terrorist friends, is a terrorist Muslim and is basically an American hating arugula chomping, troop hating, elitist, gun hating, Nazi appeasing, limelight seeking, liberal communist. We just didn’t need to go down the race road yet.”

“How dare he bring up the race issue,” said McCain campaign manager Rick Davis, “I can’t believe Obama would think we would be racist, I mean how uppity is he going to get?

The McCain campaign, which has stepped up its attacks on his opponent has been criticized for going negative too early. “Maybe we should concentrate on being more positive about my good points,” McCain told Brit Hume of Fox News, “like saying how Americans should vote for me because I do look more like those Presidents on those dollar bills.
