"Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the
challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you
scared of me," Obama said. "You know, `he's not patriotic enough, he's
got a funny name,' you know, `he doesn't look like all those other
presidents on the dollar bills.'"

Disappointed that he's 100 percent correct?

He's 100% correct at predicting the future? Not to mention the race
baiting and guilt by association. I was hoping he might be above
these tactics.

He's misreading his audience. This stuff probably goes over well
with the already converted but the undecided won't care for this.

Playing the race card is a pretty good way to avoid having "real
answer to the challenges we face." And the construction of Obama's
sentences seems really clumsy.
