So is Obama playing the race card, AGAIN?

See, not once have I said I will not vote for Obama because he is half African American. Not once have I heard anyone I associate with say they will not vote for him "because he's part black". Yet here they start saying it's about race. Couldn't it be about his terrorist associations, his pathetic economic advisers like Jim Johnson, his Anti-White mentor Reverrrrrrrrnd Right. Maybe his crooked cronies like Tony Rezko who will be sentenced right before the election, his lack of experience, his socialistic views, his leftist record, his..... Couldn't that be the reason people are not going to vote for him?

Update:

Steve, if you read the whole book that is good for you. However did you read my whole question? I did not say nor imply Obama is a racist. I did say reverend write is. Is that the source you wish me to provide?

Update 2:

Brown Sugar, yeah, I'm from a "gun toting town in the midwest". However, that doesn't mean I'm an idiot or redneck. Do you even know my race? Way to make assumptions. See, people like you who follow the Britney type movie star status are the one's voting for him. The rest of us who follow voting records, political background, and research are voting for 4 more years! So I'm racist if I don't vote for him, but it is not racist to vote for him BECAUSE he is half african american right.

Update 3:

Mike, how is my "prejudice" showing through? Because I won't vote for him so I MUST be racist right. Nice liberal minded attack there. I say nothing but fact of Obama and you slam me. I see you fit right in with loony liberals who play Robin Hood. Barry Obama has countless reasons causing me to not consider him an option. His Harvard degree and mansion and millionar status do not reflect "common man" to me, sorry.

Update 4:

Steve, this is why it is a question.

    Answerer Steve: You should read his books. The sources are out there.

    Please cite a source showing where Obama said this.

    (Edit -- to the answerer below. I have read his books -- but I read the whole book and not just a couple out-of-context clips. He's not a racist.)

    EDIT II: Your question states "Is Obama playing the race card again?"

    As such, you are clearly indicating that it is Obama himself (or a representative of his campaign) that is making such a statement. However, you offer no proof of this. I assume you're referring to the race poll results, but since Obama did not commission, run, or even make a single reference to this study, I fail to see how you can blame Obama for anything it contains.

    He has been playing the race card since he was campaigning in local elections in Chicago. At that time he stopped being "Barry" and became known as Barrack Hussein Obama to appeal to the black Muslims.

    If it would get him elected president, he would disavow his Kenyan father and become just Barry, the son of a white woman from Kansas tomorrow.

    Those are all the reasons why people won't vote for him, but it goes right over the libs heads when the media spins it in their own way.

    If Obama loses, lock your doors, turn on the t.v., and watch the news stations get all the juicy live action coverage they were hoping for.

    The card is also being dealt from the bottom of the deck.

    Your prejustice shows through your question. Maybe you have a very warped view? Maybe people are going to vote for him because he IS for the people not the right wing, puritan,skin head, minority.
