Via Allahpundit over at HotAir.com, Team Obama issues a preposterous denial after The One plays the race card on the stump:
Yesterday in Missouri, Obama predicted McCain and the GOP would use racially-tinged attacks against him. “What they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama said. “You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.” An Obama spokesman denied that the line about “dollar bills” was related to the Democrat’s race.
Well then, if it’s not about race, the statement is not true. Abraham Lincoln on the $5 clearly has the same giant-sized ears as Barack Obama.
More nonsense later from Gibbs:
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said the senator was not referring to race.
“What Barack Obama was talking about was that he didn’t get here after spending decades in Washington,” Gibbs said Thursday. “There is nothing more to this than the fact that he was describing that he was new to the political scene. He was referring to the fact that he didn’t come into the race with the history of others. It is not about race.”
Exactly our point. Obama does not have the experience of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton, Jackson, Grant, or Franklin. (Heck, he doesn’t have the experience of Salmon P. Chase.)
