McCain: We’ll Respond If Democrats Use “Racism” Again

Speaking to ABC, the Republican makes his strongest comments to date about Obama's "dollar bill" remarks last week.

“We’re not going to allow racism to come into this campaign in any form. And so I’m going to respond if it comes up again."

Also says Obama's apparent new openness to offshore drilling is not adequate.

"I’m not surprised that he’s hedging on this issue. But the fact is he still opposes offshore drilling."
