So what is he going to do about it if he is "ready" as you say? The article said nothing about his possible maneuvers.

Obama has been using race through the entire process.

This is politics, why wouldn't you expect it to be brought up? Age has been brought up against Mc Cain, gender for Clinton, why not race? Politics is ugly and this one is going to get ugly before its done.

What possible maneuvers are you thinking? A little btwn the legs dribbling or behind the back? It's race, regardless of what he says or we say or anyone else says for that matter, if someone doesn't vote for him based on race that will not change. Race is race is race, it'll always be there regardless of what we say or do. So let's talk about his possible "maneuvers" around health care, education and our economic crisis.

The way the OP stated that Obama was "ready" led me to believe the article was going to be more informative on what Obama planned to do against this attack.

He is not going to give his battle plans to the enemy.

I can agree, it wasn't meant to be addressed directly to you. I was really trying to get at the idea that regardless of what "moves" he choose to make regarding race, it's still going to be there. My apologizes if I came off as offensive or abrasive, that was not my intention. I just took your post because I saw "maneuvers" and immediately thought of some cool basketball moves. As you can see I take the issue of race and politics very lightly

Wow. Talk about playing the race card. Well, he started it. Or should I say his party started it during the primaries.
