I think Obama is trying to have it both ways myself — saying yes, there are racists among his opponents, but trying to put himself above the race card players.

That’s not good enough in my book.

Deedee – What you believe is wrong. You are the one living in a past that’s gone.

Chris — I’m not sure what your point is. The people who intensely dislike Obama are motivated by race? I guess you’re trying to make Carter’s statement less crazy, but the truth is that you can’t offer proof. While there are certainly racists of all colors in this nation, it doesn’t follow that people who intensely dislike Obama are racists.

Jimmy Carter’s exact quote: “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.”

He didn’t say all. He didn’t say most. He said “overwhelming portion.”

Also, he wasn’t referring to those who just disagree with Obama, or those who no longer think he’s doing a good job as demonstrated by Obama’s drop in approval ratings. Carter specifically referred to those who have “intensely demonstrated animosity” toward President Obama.

Carter was right, and the press should be reporting the truth rather than being sensitive to Republican’s faux outrage.

Obama himself displayed his own racism during the election by claiming that remarks about his “not looking like your regular candidate” – in other words, referencing his being biracial- were being made by his opponent. Well, not ONE WORD was ever said in regards to Obama’s race by anyone except Obama. I for one am weary of the childish accusation that anyone who opposes this administration’s policies is a racist. I oppose this man because he is clearly a Marxist, likely a Communist, is re-writing the Constitution to suit his Socialist agenda, clearly hates Israel, went on an apology tour and made our country look weak, stupid, and foolish, sees nothing immoral about the murders of unborn American citizens, and is promoting a health “reform” plan which will prove to be genocide for this nation’s senior citizens. His race only enters into the picture when he uses it to whip up support for himself. 96% of black voters voted for him. Are you seriously saying that his race had nothing to do with their vote? Millions of white people voted for him as well. Were they racists?

Give me a break.

The illiterate “Ken” and the perpetual victim “Deedee” make poor representatives for their cause.

All arguments aside, the next elections will tell us if the president is getting his message across.

The white people, deedee? What do you mean, “the white people?” Perhaps I am just confused, but it sounds a lot like you are denigrating an entire race of people by their color.

I would also like to know what defines “rich”. No specific person, but just any of “the rich” in general would be fine.

Disregard the elderly rich, since they obviously lied, cheated, and stole from themselves, along with all the poor and middle class suckers.

Also omit anyone who achieved success through hard work, effort, and commitment. Just include the ones who are “finally getting what they deserve”.

I would also like to know what it is that they are “getting”?

Obama is smart to distance himself from all of this. Racism is an ugly subject, kept alive by ugly people and those who profit from it.

Although 52% of America (who voted) elected this man into office, am I to understand that any opposition by “the white people” to Obama’s ignorant and dangerous policies is racially motivated?

But why would “the white people” turn on Obama like this? Might it be because he lied during his campaign, and once in office has taken a hard left turn?

No, that would make too much sense. It must be that he’s a black man, since everyone knows how “the white people” think.

I believe a lot of the division in the White House is based on race. The white people just don’t want to admit they still living in the dark ages of their forefathers and have hatred toward blacks and mexicans.
I don’t know why Americans still have hatred toward people of color. God made all of us in his own image,So that means that God is black, white, red,brown, yellow and all the colors of the nations. God said “The meek should inherit the Earth” It is finally coming to pass.
The rich are finally getting what they deserve, most of the rich got their money from lying, stealing and cheating the poor, middle class and elderly. I’m talking about the rich in general, no matter what color they are.

I love how Obama always gives his fans a code phrase to tell them he’s really cool with their rhetoric. He says “That’s not the overriding issue here.”
He could have “None of this has to do with my race” or “Anyone who believes that is completely wrong” …
Nope not the overriding issue which is the same as saying “some percentage of people below 50%”

So really Obama isn’t sure if it 10 or 20 or 30 or 40% but “Its not the overriding issue” …

What a peach The Won is …

Indeed, we all need to heed Matthew 7:5. Following are excerpts from the chapter: JUDGE not… Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
You will know them by their fruits.
…by their fruits you will know them.
I chose to quote from the New King James Version for you folks who trip up on words like ‘thine, shalt & ye.’ Yes, we should be vigilant to the 2X4 in our own eye. Those of us who know that we are human, subject to mistakes, must be humble and willing to keep our nose clean so to speak. Then we invite you to judge us by our fruits. If we be found worthy, please listen when we say that there are wolves in sheep’s clothing! Please be aware that all that glitters is not gold. Our president is a handsome, likeable… indeed, georgeous, mesmerizing, compelling, exciting leader. Just be aware that if there is a hidden agenda, such a person can lead gullible persons down the primrose path. Remember, by their fruits ye shall know them.
