How does Jimmy explain that Obama was elected president in the first place?
I know lots has happened since the election. But, if America is so racist and bigoted and all that, then how in the sam hill did someone of Obama’s ethnic/racial background get elected president?
There was a time when the election of a black president was unthinkable, but obviously that time has passed.
So then, does Jimmy think that all the criticism directed at him is because he is a southerner? Or a peanut farmer warehouse dude?
Do any Democrats think that criticism coming their way is due to their liberal/radical policies? Do they just take for granted that everyone wants liberalism?
Did Jimmy come up with this racist line because he can’t think of any other possible explanation?
Because America is racist.
Would Mr. Obama had been nominated/elected President if he was white?
Perhaps not the brand of 'racism' we're used to seeing ('Mississippi Burning', 'To Kill a Mockingbird', etc) - but voting for someone, or against someone, strictly based on skin color is racism... And yes, the only qualification that Mr. Obama brought to the job was his skin coloring... That and a top-notch ability to read from a teleprompter.
So who is going to be our spokesperson and tell Carter to shut up and stop keeping old divisions alive? Where are Boehner, McConnell, Romney, Huckabee, et al? Some major figure ought to set the record straight and tell off Carter.
