Last week, the Obama campaign feigned outrage over a McCain ad which compared Obama’s celebrity status to that of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Obama had grown impatient of waiting for his opponent to launch racist attacks, so he breathlessly used this moment to insinuate such attacks had taken place… thereby being the first to truly inject race into the campaign.

Of course, Obama denied his comments about his race were comments about his race:

“I was in Union, Mo., which is 98 percent white — a rural, conservative [town]. and what I said was what I think everybody knows, which is that I don’t look like I came out of central casting when it comes to presidential candidates… There was nobody there who thought at all that I was trying to inject race in this.”

Nobody, perhaps, except Obama’s chief campaign strategist…

Sen. Barack Obama’s chief strategist conceded that the Democratic presidential candidate was referring to his race when he said Republicans were trying to scare voters by suggesting Obama “doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”
…
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.”

By the way, all this outrage manufactured by the Obama camp in response to being compared to Paris Hilton is just as lame as the candidate himself… considering the first comparison of Barack Obama to Paris Hilton came from none other than…

Barack Obama.

“Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame,” says Barack Obama. “I’ve already had an hour and a half. I mean, I’m so overexposed, I’m making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.”

I guess he was just trying to scare voters. What a racist.
