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.”
Er, all those other presidents? Isn’t there just one President on the dollar bill?
And have you noticed that it’s always Obama who’s actually injecting race into the campaign, under the guise of warning about what those Evil Republicans will do? And is it really likely that John McCain would be out there saying “don’t vote for Obama, he’s black?”
I anticipate a lot of Photoshop fun with this quote, though.
UPDATE: A reader emails:
Not only is there only 1 president on the $1.00 bill, but assuming he meant currency in general, he might want to look at the $10 and $100 which do not feature any U.S. President. Perhaps he spoke…”inartfully” again.
That keeps happening.
