Obama Says Republicans Will Use Race To Stoke Fear (No S*&T!)

Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.
"It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy," Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. "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?"

He said he was also set for Republicans to say "he's got a feisty wife," in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

"We know the strategy because they've already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn't moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us," he said.

I will absolutely not vote for Barack Obama because of his color. But not because he's black, but because he's red. He is as close to a Marxist as you can get. He will not "change" America for the better. He will continue the policies of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" aka "Great Disaster" and make those who seek prosperity more beholden unto government for support. There is nothing new about Obama. It's all just a little bit of history repeating. Take a class in Soviet History.

Also, never EVER say anything negative about Obama because it automatically means one thing: YOU ARE A RACIST. You must not question the Chosen One or you will be vilified and slandered.
