Yesterday, the one of the worst campaign managers in recent history suggested that by Obama repeating the "They're gonna say that I don't look like all those presidents on the dollar bills" line was a way for Obama to accuse McCain of being racist. Give me a break. Obama's been saying that line since the very beginning. He generally starts with a litany of reasons why his detractors will say not to vote for him ending with "I gotta funny name" and the above line.
He's not going after McCain at all, I don't see how one could even say that considering those lines have been part of his campaign speeches for a LONG time. He's addressing the fact that there are a lot of people in this country advocating voting for McCain for the sole fact that McCain is white. Everybody knows this, most of us have at least one racist relative to begin with. If Obama mentions his race, it's not automatically taking potshots at McCain.
McCain is towing a very fine line right now though. He accuses Obama of playing the race card, but has stopped just short of calling Obama "uppity" for the last week...
