Barack to Isaiah: Thanks, But No Thanks!

Posted Apr 23rd 2008 11:25AM by TMZ Staff

Barack Obama has sent a message to Isaiah Washington -- we don't want your kind.....of money.
Barack Obama, Isaiah Washington
According to official records, Washington donated $2,300 for the primaries and $2,300 for the general -- the max allowed by law. Last month, according to the Federal Election Commission website, Isaiah crossed the line by exceeding the limit and Obama had to refund $50.

It's clear Isaiah likes Barack's views ... wonder if Barack feels the same way.

3. Birds of a feather. Keep voting for this guy, you think bush was bad. There will never be a black man in the WHITE house. Ever.
If he wins the ticket, McCain will win by a landslide!

5. What a misleading "article" TMZ! Basically it's verging on slander. Barack's campaign was forced to give back $50 because Isaiahs donation was over the legal limit, and you make it seem like he doesn't want his money ... uh huh

What did Barack say that was racist?

7. Yes, because of course if someone donates to you you automatically believe everything they say and think. You are also responsible for their action. Or that's jut with Obama. McCain and Clinton are free to have crazy people endorse and give them money.

11. Do you live in the same America that I live in? The WHITE house is AMERICA'S house -- not just the WHITE RACIST'S house!! Check you ancestry my fellow American, then talk -- until then, continue keeping your head in the sand (or the 18th century) personally, I live in 21st Century America and there WILL be a Black President someday hopefully based upon experience and ability, not by the color of the skin!

Jeffery Dalmer was white -- would he have been a good president ?

12. Tostor... no one can really offer up anything that would ACTUALLY make Obama a racists... I guess that's how the individuals deal with their own racism and hate, flip-flop it a bit and point the finger. All this type of negativity is because the man is black... shhhhh but no one wants to really focus on that because that is.... RACISM.

NEVER... and I mean NEVER say NEVER @ 'cha #7... You have no idea what God has in store!
