Jimmy Carter – Opps, I did it again

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

“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. Did I say that?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.
