He has to toe the line that MLK did - criticism with class and dignity, and a healthy dose of indignation. But not anger. If he hits back too hard, I'm afraid a lot of Americans will get scared and go McCain, or not vote at all. If he hits back too hard, Barack Obama becomes the angry black man - and many Americans will cross the street when they see him walking their way.
This is why you no longer see Michelle Obama on the campaign trail. She is an angry black woman and her bitterness was hurting the campaign. Michelle has been relegated to the staying "home with the kids". The unfortunate part in all this, should Obama win, Michelle's anger, bitterness and hate toward America will come back full force once in the White House.

But again, this election has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with Obama's lack of experience as well as he and his wife's anti-Amercian views.

Obama is hitting back. He claimed he has been doing so for a few days now. This is as hard as he hits. Get used to it.

The world sees this and is laughing at him.

I am a deeply disappointed and very angry White man. I am angry with the White men that have sold us out to the speculating greed heads and gotten us into useless wars. I am angry with the White men that destroyed the value of our money. I am angry with White men that have abandoned our injured Vererans.

I am a very angry White man and I am voting for a Black man for president because I see where generations of White men have taken us.

Why would Obama risk the reputation hit he might take for slinging mud when he has willing and complicit accomplices: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, CNN, etc.

I suppose he could just take clips out of their "reports" and run them as attack ads like that pitiful one the other day with all the quotes from newspapers calling McCain names.

Uh, the world has been laughing at "US" for awhile now. It's not a news flash, they will give up on us if we pick another Bush, thats a fact. We won't be able to buy peanuts with our dollar nor travel anywhere abroad without getting a face full of "Americans are stupid" comments.

If we don't make a change at this point, and make the same mistake for a third time, we will deserve it!

P.S. At least he doesn't have a woman fighting for him. ha he ha he McCain looks like a wimp compared to that gun slinging girl. He better just stay in that back seat and enjoy the ride.

Well don't look now but Dems are finally realizing they were playing a suckers game with the GOP.

TPM Election Central | Talking Points Memo | Top Democrats Privately Urging Major Donors To Fund Outside Groups To Attack McCain

They'll start hammering the GOP with 527 ads from now till November as they should have done long ago.

This playing nice with these jerks was stupid. Americans respect a party that will fight back.

Obama lets his thug surrogates get "down and dirty."

He has to remain "clean," you know. For Joe Biden's sake.
