June 30th: Mc Cain puts Obama on the $100 bill...

How did he get that done so fast?

On June 30th, something strange happened. The McCain campaign may have instigated the "face on the dollar bill" remark from Barack Obama. This video allegedly from the McCain campaign quips "...let's look at what he's changed so far...". Then, after pointing out the stylized "Obama for America" seal that sent the right into a tizzy a few weeks back, they wonder what else he wants to change.

"The statue of liberty?", the narrator opines over a photo-shop of the Senator. "Mount Rushmore?", he continues as the monument morphs into quintuplets of the Democratic nominee. And then the query that seals the deal..."The hundred dollar bill?".

So, to summarize: Barack Obama warns that this will be one of the Republican tactics, and the same day, a video is posted on You-Tube doing exactly that.

Personally, I don't think that this is a McCain brainchild. This is not his modus-operandi, but this is classic Rovian sub-text. Suggest to the viewer that he wants his "black face" on our greatest national icons without overtly crossing the line. The same is evident in the Hilton/Spears add. The sub-text in that one was "Barack the celebrity is going to steal your white women". If they truly wanted to paint Obama as a "liberal celeb" Clooney and Penn would have done a much better job of conveying that narrative. Spears and Hilton, have no place within such a narrative considering the fact of Spear's public support of Bush, and the Hilton family's generous contributions to the McCain Campaign.

So this may not be McCain writing this script, but it's McCain by proxy.

Shame...

1. Careful: Best to ignore McCain "humor", point is to make O and Dems look uptight n/t

3. McLoon's campaign keeps stealing

Hillary's material. "Change you can photoshop." ---> "Change you can xerox."

McLoon, old fellow: "Is this the best you can come up with?"

5. Thanks. That just makes it worse.

So Obama can call this not just a "generic republican" attempt to insinuate that he "don't look like the rest of the presidents on the dollar bills", but point out definitively that it is the McCain campaign.
