I cannot believe - well yes I can - that this idiot of a past president can say shit like this out loud and expect people to take him seriously.
Remember folks, this is the chump who fucked up our economy so bad his own party ran against him. This is the same person who thinks Fidel Castro is a great guy and is good buddies with him.

So by his comments here the rallies all over the country against both parties wasteful spending and corruption were just gigantic KKK rallies?



Carter: Racism plays major role in opposition to Obama

(CNN) -- Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that racial politics played a role in South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's speech to Congress last week and in some of the opposition the president has faced since taking office.

Former President Carter tells "NBC Nightly News" that racism has surfaced in opposition to President Obama.

"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 Nightly News." "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that shares the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African-Americans."

"That racism inclination still exists, and I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of belief among many white people -- not just in the South but around the country -- that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply," Carter said.

Michael Steele, who is the first African-American to chair the Republican National Committee, denied Wednesday that race is fueling protests.

"President Carter is flat-out wrong," Steele said in a statement. "This isn't about race. It is about policy." .... Click for full story
