SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Democrat Barack Obama, the first black
candidate with a shot at winning the White House, says John
McCain and his Republican allies will try to scare them by saying
Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."
Obama didn't make clear what distinctions McCain was likely to
raise regarding the presidents on U.S. currency, men who are white
and, for the most part, much older than Obama when they were
elected. McCain has not raised Obama's race as an issue in the
campaign, though he has said that Obama lacks experience.
Have you noticed that McCain vs. Obama hasn't had the racial undertones
that was there when he was running against Hillary Clinton?
