McCain's complaint is that Obama has started to say things like this in his speeches "What they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. 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." The suggestion here is that Republican's don't feel that black people should be president, and that people with a traditionally Muslim name should be feared. I think it's a very legitimate complaint and that Obama has gone to far with these statements. That said, McCain is going to lose any high ground on this issue quickly with ads like the ones he is currently running. You can't complain that your opponent is dealing from the bottom of the deck while doing the same thing yourself.
