“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,” Carter told NBC Nightly News.

What an old fool, liberal or otherwise. First of all, it was a given that the mindless left wingnuts were going to claim “racism” on those against Obama’s policies and proposals. Never mind that nobody on the Right spoke out against former Sec. of State Condi Rice and most recently, Michael Steele as head of the GOP – or former Congressman Watts from Oklahoma.

No, the mindless, thoughtless, emotion-driven bedwetting children of the left can’t stand anyone speaking out against their idiotic policies. So if it’s a white male left wingnut politician spoken against, said Right winger is a “nazi.” If it’s a white female, said Right winger is a “sexist.” If it’s a Hispanic or Asian politician being spoken against, its “Xenophobic.” And of course, if its a gay politician like Barney Frank, it’s being “homophobic.” You get the idea. The mindless children of the left – and that’s all their mentality is – can’t honestly debate anything and like children, don’t like being told NO!

Well get used to more of this kind of idiocy from the wingnut left as America continues to reject their policies like Obamacare. Oh, and for the mindless out there who say Republicans have offered no alternatives, yes they have. They got shot down. Look it up, stupid sheep. But back to Carter, as each year goes by, the Chavez and Castro lover, who oversaw 21% interest rates, 12% unemployment, and 444 days of American hostages in Iran and doing nothing, you have to have pity on such a former president. In any event, it does offer for some laughable reading.

Question to those who use this mantra as a major point in their argument is, can we afford NOT to have health care reform?

As a postscript, truth is always best defense and Joe Wilson’s comment, while unseemly and inappropriate, is none the less – accurate.

Obama has either lied about, or squashed the truth about, most every part of his life beginng with birth and continuing through his education. If there is nothing to hide then why spend millions of dollars to keep the documents a secret?

To make such a charge at a Member of Congress from a 2 word comment just makes you look as ignorant and partisan as Jimmy Carter. At least Carter has senility as an excuse, or his lack of relevance, or his failed Presidency but what is your excuse, Steven?

Editorial on the AJC’s level of sophistication and relevance: “There is a danger that for the want of a shoe, the war on terror could be lost. Somebody has to do something. Why doesn’t somebody do something? Is there a cobbler cell the CIA doesn’t know about?”

Do you realize that when trying to buy health insurance, these insurers do not cover pre-existing conditions? These are common conditions such as diabetes, Lupus, high blood pressure, etc. So, if someone or their family are unlucky enough to have pre-existing conditions, and they have no option but to purchase private health insurance, what option do they have for treatment?

Also, another thing to remember, a major business lobby weighed in Tuesday, saying that if current trends continue, annual health-care costs for employers will rise 166 percent over the next decade — to $28,530 per employee.“Maintaining the status quo is simply not an option,” said Antonio M. Perez, chief executive of Eastman Kodak and a leader of the Business Roundtable. “These costs are unsustainable and would put millions of workers at risk”.

The current system is not sustainable.
