Somebody within Team Obama needs to make a decision: Did he or didn’t he used the race card in his “dollar bills” remark? Chief strategist David Axelrod, the same guy who insisted the remark referred to being in Washington, now admits that Obama was referring to his race.

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.”…

When pressed to explain the comment, Axelrod told “GMA” it meant, “He’s not from central casting when it comes to candidates for president of the United States. He’s new to Washington. Yes, he’s African-American.”

Emphasis mine. Standby, because I have a post coming in a few minutes that demonstrates exactly how well this has all worked for the Messiah.
