Poll: Obama Is Racist, McCain Isn’t
The public thinks Obama smeared his political critics with his “dollar bill” comments, and they don’t think McCain is being racist.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the nation’s voters say they’ve seen news coverage of the McCain campaign commercial that includes images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and suggests that Barack Obama is a celebrity just like them. Of those, just 22% say the ad was racist while 63% say it was not.
However, Obama’s comment that his Republican opponent will try to scare people because Obama does not look like all the other presidents on dollar bills was seen as racist by 53%. Thirty-eight percent (38%) disagree.
It doesn’t appear as though playing the race card is going to work for Obama.
