“I think an overwhelming portion of the
intensely demonstrated animosity toward
President Barack Obama is based on the fact
that he is a black man, that he’s African-American,” Carter told NBC News. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/15/carter.obama/index.html

Overwhelming portion?  Carter also made remarks at an event at his presidential center in Atlanta, Georgia, pointing to some protesters who have compared Obama to a Nazi. Hmmm, I think those same protesters call Bush a Nazi also. There will always be some who are real racists (not the ones that for every disagreement with a person of a different race are called racists). And maybe Jimmy Carter knows some, but an overwhelming portion? And comparing Obama to a Nazi? Racist but not based upon the fact he is a “black man.”

The overwhelming intensity animosity of the demonstrations I saw were directed towards the government. It doesn’t matter who is President or who is in Congress the American people are fed up with greed, pork, spending, waste, excess et al. We are fed up with having a government by the corporations (lobbyists) and for the corporations (lobbyists). We are fed up with the majority being relegated to the “they really don’t know the facts” club. We are fed up with politicians taking care of us.We want our country and government back.

Jimmy, you have eaten too many peanuts.

If I was curious, why can’t I see or find out . . .

• Punahou School
  Though from a modest background, Obama attended Punahou School in Honolulu, one of Hawaii’s top private institutions. Who paid for this?
• Occidental College
  Obama attended Occidental College. Obama attended the school on a scholarship. What kind of scholarship? Financial records have not been released.
• Columbia University
  Obama transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University in 1981, at the age of 20. Who paid for this? OBTW, although Obama claimed to be a part of the Black Student Organization and anti-apartheid activities, the New York Times reports, several well-known student leaders did not recall his involvement. Fox News contacted400 of Obama’s classmates. No one remembered him. Guess he spent a lot of time in the library. Before applying to Harvard, Obama is said to have written a major thesis in his senior year. It has not been released.
• Harvard Law School
  No information on grades, schedules or who paid for this.
• Harvard Law Review
  In 1990, Obama became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, where he spent at least 50 hours a week editing submissions from judges, scholars and authors. A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review.
• University of Chicago
  Obama lectured at the University of Chicago Law School, a top school where the faculty is known for voluminous scholarly publishing, from 1992 until 2004. No scholarly articles can be found that were authored by him.

Also unavailable:

• Passport
• Medical records
  Obama refused to release medical records. Instead, he simply provided a six-paragraph note from his physician briefly summarizing 21 years of doctor visits and health information. The letter contained no supporting documentation.
• Illinois state senator
  Complete files and schedules of his years as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004 are not accessible.
• Client list
  Obama’s client list from during his time in private practice with the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill and Gallard is sealed. 
• Illinois State Bar Association records are sealed. 
• Obama/Dunham marriage license is unavailable. 
• Obama/Dunham divorce documents are unavailable.
• Adoption records are unavailable.
• Birth certificate
  While a certificate of life birth has been presented, in Hawaii,  it is not the same as a birth certificate which continues to be unavailable.

It  just seems strange that so much money has been spent denining access to the records of a public servant.

Taxpayers will no longer be asked to rescue 20th century companies from their own ineptness, greed, lack of imagination, disbelieve that Americans won’t buy American cars, greed, and the UAW.

Taxpayers will no longer be asked to bail-out suppliers of the auto industry who but their business based on 1 customer. A real big no-no in business 101.

Taxpayes will no longer be asked to bail out workers who could not see the future or refused to believe that jobs would last forever. Who would think their job would last when your company looses $30,000,000,000,000 in one year.

And just a bit off the subject . . . why would you pay the departing boss $28 million dollars for loosing $80 billion dollars?

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on.
