Obama Plays The Racist Orphan Card On McCain

There is a rather well known apocryphal story about a boy on trial for murdering his parents who then begs the court for mercy because he is an orphan. That is a perfect analogy for Obama and his MSM enablers today. After repeatedly using claims of racism as a means to deflect any criticism (see here), Obama now complains about being called to account of it by the McCain camp:

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Sunlen Miller Report: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told NPR's "All Things Considered" on Friday that he finds it "troublesome" how the McCain campaign has amplified its allegation that he played the "race card."

Obama added that the "eagerness with which they’ve done it indicates they think they can exploit this politically."

While Obama complained about the way in which the McCain campaign has amplified a "race card" charge that he considers "ridiculous," he indicated that "in no ways" has the McCain campaign "targeted race issues." . . .
