Obama: “So nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he’s not patriotic enough. He’s got a funny name. You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know.”
McCain Campaign: “Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck.”

Comparing Obama to Britney Spears, Moses, Paris Hilton, and the Messiah. What a weird group of people to throw together. “I’m John McCain, and I approve of this message.” Really? Did you watch it?

the Large Hadron Collinder is finally ready to destroy the world!
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 17 mile long particle accelerator straddling the border of Switzerland and France, is nearly set to begin its first particle beam tests. Wiki: Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the LHC might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles.
Check out all the pictures — it’s unbelievable.

Yes Obama plays the race card and has played it since the beginning of his campaign. He has also lied worst than President Bush has been accuse of. So Americans where is the come down on Obama at for lying? Thanks for a good post!

He may play the “race card,” but how is it that Obama’s “lies” are worse than Bush? I’m not trying to argue so much as understand. President Bush sent us to war based on lies (eg: you can’t distinguish between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein).
I’m just curious.
