McCain campaign manager Rick Davis accuses Barack Obama of “playing the race card.”

Which he was, of course, just as he has been for quite a while now. This little “joke” was a variation on the line he used in Berlin: “I know that I don’t look like the other Americans who’ve previously spoken in this great city.”

Yesterday in Missouri, Obama predicted McCain and the GOP would use racially tinged attacks against him.

“What they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama said. “You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.” 

An Obama spokesman denied that the line about “dollar bills” was related to the Democrat’s race

Yeah, right. He must have been referring to his ears.
