Obama's campaign admits their candidate played the race card

ABC News tackles the issue head-on.

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."

...Obama's camp initially denied the remark was a reference to Obama's race... Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, acknowledged on "Good Morning America" Friday that the candidate was referring, at least in part, to his ethnic background.

When ABC reports that Obama's campaign screwed up, you can pretty much assume that seven or eight billion people already knew it.
