Everybody knows what is happening, nobody is prepared to admit they know what is happening. The American election will all come down to the race issue.
Last wek barak Obama said the Republicans would try to scare the electorate by pointing out that Obama does not look like the other Presidents pictured on the dollar bills. Now McCain has never said this and nor has anybody representing his campaign (they don't need to, America's right wing are racist enough to work it out for themselves)
In response McCain accused Obama and his campaign managers of playing the race card. Obama's people responded to that by saying McCain's whole campaign was racist. That may seem ridiculous to we British, but we are looking at a country where some people would accused you of racism if you mentioned you ate Fried Chicken for lunch.
McCain accuses Obama of playing the racecard. Obama accuses McCain of being a politician
Now Obama has had to backtrack and admit McCain was not racist. Remember it was not McCain who made the crack about the pictures of dead Presidents on the dollar bills, it was Barak Obama who said that McCain was going to say that. So by way of a non-apology Obama now says McCain was nor racist but was cynical. A cynical politician, now there's a first.
It all sounds like a case of the pot calling the kettle...........erm........a cynical racist to me.
