Andrew Sullivan, Chris Bodenner, and Eli Sanders all note that the McCain campaign's strategy on race is to (a) play the race card and then (b) accuse Obama of having played the race card.

The issue, of course, is that John McCain and surrogates claimed great faux outrage at Barack Obama's lighthearted comment that Bush and McCain would emphasize that "he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills".

But if John McCain thinks that comment was playing the race card, then why did he (McCain) play it first? One month ago, in late June, a McCain ad superimposed Obama's visage on a one hundred dollar bill as part of an effort to mock his supposed 'presumptuousness.'The ad went on to superimpose Obama's face on Mt. Rushmore and the Statue Of Liberty.

Watch The McCain Video To See The New $100.00 Obama Bill:

John McCain is himself injecting race into this campaign, and he's doing so to serve his own political ambitions. As Chuck Todd says: "Anytime race is THE topic du jour in the campaign, it's a bad day for Obama. Period."

John McCain clearly understands that the only way he can win is to inject fear and subtle racism into the campaign, and that's exactly why he's playing this race card, from allegations of reverse racism to transparent attempts to make Barack Obama seem "foreign"
and "scary".

I think it's time that the MSM started airing this McCain video to show exactly where Obama's comment about "not looking like other faces on the dollar bill" comment originated from. It's up to all of us to email the hell out of the media to show this bit evidence and clear the air. You can start your email campaign here:
