Saying Obama is using race to get vote is like saying Cleland is using his wheelchair to get votes.

[Perky]

Both are imbecilic on their face.

Go away

[jasmine621]

1. Not the same at all. Max never would stoop as low as Obama. nt

[Perky]

4. Yes but his opponents would and did

They actually used it in a debate. Max Cleland is milking his wheelchair for votes.

[alphafemale]

2. Cleland blew his limbs off on pupose.

Because he had political aspirations way back then.

Amazing how devious people will be, isn't it?

:sarcasm:

[KennedyGuy]

3. Well.if not Obama, certainly his surrogates and supporters are throwing the race card

I wish they would go away.

[Perky]

5. an example please.

or are you just going to recycle a quoute from three weeks ago?

[KennedyGuy]

8. I will be sure to PM you the link next time

6. Do you have statistics showing that Cleland is getting 80%+ of the "wheelchair vote"?

[Perky]

10. No sorry I don't . what is your point?

[joshcryer]

13. The point is your comparasion is assinine.

[Perky]

15. Not is not Cleland's opponent accused him og using his wheel chair to get votes.

saying that Obama is using race (.is race) to get votes is what is assinine,

[Yossariant]

7. I'd agree if Christopher Reeve were McClelland's first celebrity endorsement.

[bigtree]

9. so, race is a disability?

Obama has used his race as an identification with African American voters. Nothing at all wrong with that, but it's a stretch to imply that he isn't willing to exploit that trait to his advantage. The fact that some may feel his race is a negative factor may be a handicap, but not a disability.

11. Except we are "allowed" to speak of one.

[BenDavid]

12. nobody is saying obama is using his race, but what I and I speak

for myself, obama is playing the race card and race baiting and many know this but obama then blames someone and points the finger and and whore media takes in all in and reports so and so are now seen as bigots and racist.....

Getting to the point where anyone brings up a question about obama, whether it be something in his past or about his positions about whatever, it is racial....Why is everything now racial?

If we white people have no idea what makes blacks terribly angry,it will probably happen again and again until someone explains it to us....and please don't answer by saying "the Clinton's knew what they were saying."

YOU obama and supporters are the offended party. It's up to you to explain why.

[Perky]

14. Give me a single example.

[bellasgrams]

16. I agree. He really plays it..
