Obama first tried to insult us voters by saying his comment below about him not looking like past presidents had nothing to do with Race. Guess he figures if Clinton can get away with I did not have sexual relations, then he can lie to us about rather his comment was about race. :roll:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."
Obama's camp initially denied the remark was a reference to Obama's race.
"He was referring to the fact that he didn't come into the race with the history of others," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday. "It is not about race."
But I guess we can give him credit for flipping on his original explination and coming clean with that it was a Race remark.
But Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, acknowledged on "Good Morning America" Friday that the candidate was referring, at least in part, to his ethnic background.
When pressed to explain the comment, Axelrod told "GMA" it meant, "He's not from central casting when it comes to candidates for president of the United States. He's new to Washington. Yes, he's African-American."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To his credit, he may have just read it off the teleprompter and had no idea what he even said. Being the Manchurian Candidate and all! :wink:
