Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, And Race

by @ 12:46 pm on September 16, 2009.

Stephen Green hits one out of the park with his response to Jimmy Carter’s racism diatribe:

Funny how the American people weren’t racists when we elected him. We weren’t racists when he Rahmed his $780 billion special-interest payoff through Congress. We weren’t racists when the polls supported the non-specific, hopey-changey version of his health care reform.

But when Americans pushed back — against having their heating bills doubled, against having their health care plans usurped — suddenly, now, yes, we’re racists. No less an authority than Jimmy Carter (and his peanut heads from Kos and HuffPo on down to Garofalo and other, even less successful, hangers-on) has said so.

So. Has the America which elected President Obama by a comfortable majority not even one year ago, become suddenly more racist than it was on November 8, 2008? Or, implausible as it may seem, has a center-right country unsurprisingly soured on a left-left President and his left-left-left-left-left enablers on Capital Hill and in the Washington press corps?

And could it be just barely possible, that even some center-left folks here in America be a little put off by their Commander-in-Cheif telling them to knock off all that oh-so-inconvenient “bickering” and back-talking?

It doesn’t take Occam’s razor to slice this one, does it?

Nope.

    It’s pretty funny that people try to blame the $780 billion bill on Obama or Bush. It’s quite obvious these people do not pay attention.

    The bill was proposed before Obama was ever elected. Bush supported. Obama supported it.

    McCain supported it.

    Get over yourselves already. Its no wonder the rest of the world laughs at all of our, yes, bickering.
