Yesterday Barack Obama once again attempted to dismiss his failed, nine-figure Annenberg handout with buddy-slash-terrorist-slash-communist Bill Ayers by playing the race card.
And I know that the temptation is to say, 'You know what? …The guy hasn’t been there that long in Washington.,' You know, 'he’s got funny name,' You know, 'we’re not sure about him... And that’s what the Republicans, when they say, 'This isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities,' what they’re really saying is, 'We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.'
Most folks would be satisfied with Obama simply describing his six years of work with the Annenberg Challenge, for starters. His only real executive experience, which is curiously missing from his official biography.
Update: Hot Air's Ed Morrissey:
Once again, Obama has resorted to a smear campaign against the McCain campaign. They have never –never — even hinted that Obama has “Muslim connections”. They have never made even a slight attempt to make his race an issue, despite this fourth repeat of this particular smear...
"The Obama campaign was clearly on the defensive today, acknowledging how appealing Palin came across, and sending out surrogates hitting their talking points that Republicans have spent their time on attacks rather than substance."
Says the man who keeps calling John McCain the same as George Bush...
What do you expect of a man who promised hope and change... and then gave us Joe Biden?
Update II: For a campaign that wants to make it about substance and issues, Obama's folks sure do like to bring up Palin's parenting skills.
