Former President Jimmy Carter believes that the opposition to (sigh) current President Barack Obama is because we, the faithful opposers, can't accept a black man in the Oval Office. This statement shocked me for two reasons. First of all, WOW, Jimmy Carter is still alive! Who knew? He hasn't been heard from in so long, I was sure he was no longer with us. Secondly, it apparently didn't cross President Carter's feeble mind that skin color is not the problem, it is the agenda we won't accept.
What compelled this guy to talk? Did the White House call him up and say, "Hey, Jimmy, we're having a problem getting people to buy into the idea that government should control everything. How about you go on national TV for us and see if you, an old white southern guy, can shame the nation into shutting up by calling them all racists." Did they float the offer to Bill Clinton first? Did Slick Willie turn them down? Has Jimmy Carter's lifelong search for historical relevance really taken him this low?
I can state that I am not a racist. I really don't care about the physical attributes of the President. I care that whoever holds that office understands the greatness of our country. I care that the President not look at our nation and see only problems, but instead sees the shining city on a hill. I care that our president engage in honest debate with intelligent, reasoned arguments. Playing the race card is a loser move by a desperate administration.

As Oboma said he was black before he was elected,99% of the politians I disagree with (who share Oboma's poltitcal views)happen to be white.
ReplyDeleteTherefore as usual Jimmy Carter is wrong again.
