When Obama visited, the crowd went wild, whereas McCain would be lucky to not be demonstrated against. How's the situation over there niggas? From here, it doesn't look like Obama was in need of playing that dreadful card.

the thing is, playing the race card in a presidentail race would not necessarily help him. it would probably hurt him. Its sad to say, but the more Obama identifies with his own race....the worse off he is

No offense, but this is exactly what I have been talking about in regards to the media. The media is so blatantly pro-Obama in its coverage that it is really misleading everyone about how close the race actually is. According to the latest polls, Obama and McCain are in a virtual dead heat. One prominent poll shows Obama up by one point, another shows a tie. This race is going to be close to the very end just like in 2000 and 2004.
You guys have got to stop letting the left wing media and their pro Obama biases mislead you.

Just when you think you've got the presidential race figured out, something comes along to upend your carefully wrought conclusions.
Mainstream media provided lavish coverage of Barack Obama's trip abroad the week of July 21 and predicted he would get a bounce in the polls. Some of his supporters believe he has put the election away. Other observers employ the hackneyed and meaningless phrase, "it's his to lose."
The poll numbers tell a different and more nuanced story. The two national tracking polls showed Obama getting a bounce while he was in Europe, especially after his speech before 200,000 or so Berliners. Gallup showed him rising from a 46 per cent to 42 per cent lead over John McCain on July 22 to a 49-40 per cent lead on July 26. The Rasmussen tracking poll showed him rising from a 47 per cent to 45 per cent lead on July 23 (reflecting the previous days' polling) to 49-43 per cent on July 26.
But over the next several days, Obama bounced back down. Gallup showed him leading by a statistically insignificant 45 per cent to 44 per cent as of July 31. That's the closest the race had been in Gallup all that month. Rasmussen had him down to 48-46 per cent on the same day. The world tour bounce has begun to look like a bubble.

the media here in the UK have most definitely been kissing obama's ass from what i read in the papers when he visited. but the way the media does it - it reports that its the PEOPLE that are wildly in love with him and praising his politices, kissing his butt etc etc etc. in reality they are the ones kissing his butt through biased reporting. its a clever technique - molding the publics consciousness toward a certain opinion by reporting about that opinion as if its already a fully developed idea in people's minds.
and where do the majority of people (who happen to be overwhelmingly stupid) get all their information from? its the television and the newspaper. its obvious that what appears in the media is an extremely thin slice of reality. i'm not professing to know much more but you don't have be a genius to figure out that the media is completely biased on so many levels. i could care less about obama though, seems like he's smarter than bush (so is my toe - maybe the american public would give my toe two terms in office if i drew a face on it) but at the end of the day its politics its all the same. the real intentions behind the policy making continue to be out of sight...
TraceOneInfinite:
McCain has been playing the race card. Whenever he attacks Obama's "inexperience". See, "inexperience" is a loaded word.
For example, when McCain says,
"Your taking a risk voting for someone so inexperienced".
The message that is being sent to white voters is...
"Your taking a risk, voting for a NIGGER".
And Americans fall for this trick because you can never underestimate the intelligence of Americans.
