I am sure that Jimmy Carter has it right that much racism lingers in the South (and elsewhere, but these people probably did not vote for Obama in the first place. Obama has been under vicious attack by the Republicans (some of whom probably are the racists of which Carter speaks) and the media have time and time again cut off reports of his excellent speeches with trivia — some of it Republican generated (the liar comment) and other stuff by Democrats (e.g. the focus on reprimanding Wilson).
Those who actually listen to Obama’s speeches are impressed, but they are probably mainly those who agree with him in the first place. The problem which both Obama and the Democrats have is breaking through the media smoke clouds to get the facts to the general public that affect them vitally. They need not be listed in detail as they are pretty obvious ranging from our Republican generated economic crisis which needs reform to health care, let alone figuring out how to end our ‘wars’ in the Middle East which are costly both in money and lives.
Where we go from here, I honestly don’t know. But Obama is a sharp guy and perhaps he can figure a way to break through to the public consciousness. We shall see. I hope for the best and he has time and public support to do so.

As God is my witness folks get this through your heads, the Elitists are working hard to play this as the race card! In effort to get us taring at each other’s throats - divide and conquer!
No, this thing with President Barack Obama has nothing to do with race, many of us have grown up with all kinds of races outside our front and back doors - that is America and we have for quite some time been able to see the quality in all races! We have been best friends with people of other races and cultures in our day to day lives!
The thing that causes Americans to dislike and not trust or respect President Obama is his Fascist, Marxist style of politics along with his habitual habit of lieing! From the day Americans are born we were taught to dislike any form of communism or oppression of society! Now we have it practicing it’s politics in our own back yard!
Not something that will fly in the “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!”
Charlie Sheen is offering a Live debate on the “Larry King”, show with any Government Rep or Reps in lieu with his 20 questions that he has requested sensible answers for from President Barack Obama!
Charlie has had no takers for the debate challenge so what does that tell us? 911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!

As usual the opponents of any kind of restriction on the illegal immigration, is playing the race card? It’s a forgone conclusion that the benefactors of promoting a mass invasion of our shores, such as religious groups, unions, ACLU, radical ethnic caucuses and even our own US Chamber of Commerce, will mouth epithets that doesn’t benefit big business, that doesn’t advocate a continuous force of illegal cheap labor. Now they are really livid because their objection to E-Verify was thrown out of court. Now all federal contractors and subcontractors must adhere to the law. They have conspired against the American worker and people for too long, and now we are fighting back ourselves against corrupt politicians and other elected officials nationwide,
Rep.Joe Wilson was actually telling the truth at the time, and now Democrats have placed restrictive language in the Health care reform package as a reluctant afterthought by public demand. This was nothing to do about bigotry or racism, but the American workers and family survival. None of the business community who hire them wants their labor, but forces the taxpayer to carry the financial load. The US labor force should not have to be in competition, with people from other countries. Businesses have already offshore American jobs, because it’s cheaper? So every illegal foreign national and family member should be exempt from government run health care, jobs and all the billions of taxpayer dollars secretly allocated to pay for their support. Twenty million plus illegal people compromised themselves, when they entered a sovereign nation without permission. Find out the truth at NUMBERSUSA, JUDICIAL WATCH and contact your politician at 202-224-3121 demanding no weakening conditions to E-Verify or any other law authored by Congress.
