Jimmy Carter played the race card enthusiastically
Obama & Democrats did not tell Jimmy to shut up
The same game plan as ever on another day
The remark made by former President Jimmy Carter, stating that Obama is disliked because he is a black man, may very well have been made on his own, but the White House and the leftist are making hay of his comment.
There can be no doubt that the swelling numbers of people objecting to Obama and his policies are doing so on the basis of their opinions that the policies take the country in the wrong direction, are too expensive, poorly drafted and move us toward a socialistic form of government. In other words, the objections are based on real issues, clearly articulated, not race based.
Now, along comes Carter -- no matter his intent or agenda -- and he plays the race card which he grabbed like a star half back taking the football hand-off and running with it toward the goal line, gathering speed and eager fans are heard shouting: Racist, racist racist!
Like a master chess move, the White House and Pelosi & Reid and their entourage seized the opportunity to defend their positions -- not with well thought out arguments to support their agenda (which they have seemed unable and unwilling to do anyway) -- with the claim that objectors are motivated by race and then move the debate from facts and issues to one of defending the accusations of being racist.
Carter's comment is just plain stupid, but he may have unwittingly given the administration the only effective strategy available to them to deflect the rising tide of the awakened sleeping giant, the formerly silent majority.
I didn't like Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy for a long list of reasons, but according to Carter it must have been because they are white.
Whatever your personal opinions, keep your Representatives and Senators advised, and if you aren't happy with their performance, vote 'em out of office. --B.B. Yarborough
