*Other* Presidents?

How on earth did we all miss that the first time?

Oh, right: we were so busy rolling our eyes at the generically Democratic accusations of racism that we completely overlooked the specifically Democratic exhibition of killing hubris. Well, that’ll teach us:

Obama says Republicans trying to scare voters

{snip}

“Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama said. “You know, he’s not patriotic enough, he’s got a funny name, you know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”

Bolding mine, because when you’re trying to point something out to Obama supporters, subtlety is not always your friend. Although I shouldn’t talk: we all needed an Instapundit reader to write in and point out this particular case of anticipate-the-parson.

    The white guys on most of those currency portraits look pretty old.

    … that the faces on the currency are just a bunch of dead white guys.

    Call me reactionary, but one of the things I really liked about Reagan was his reverence for the Office of the President, and for the Oval Office.

    The last thing we need is another president with no sense of the historical significance of his actions {cough} Bill Clinton {cough}.

    Nice catch, Instapundit reader.

    Obama, like all celebrities, has started to wear thin. Unlike Brittany and Paris, though, he can’t check into rehab or claim abuse or whatever the dodge of the day is. Probably the best advice Obama could be given is to be a bit more low profile, but that might cost him a People photo op.
