This is the thing, there are folks who won't let you criticize Obama for his politics without making it into a race thing. But, isn't the point of transcending race that you should be able to criticize a man's politics without it being a race thing? I don't have a problem with Obama being a black guy. I'm happy for him for all that he has achieved. I have a problem with his position on abortion and that he doesn't seem to have a clear platform of any kind.
And there is nothing about this ad that is racist. They used his own words against him. That's politics.

Can you believe some people are claiming that this ad is racist? I don't see it and can't figure it out.
Oh, that is clever. I'd heard about it but this is the first time I've seen it.
(T, of course it is racist--you can't criticize anybody anymore!)
