The increasingly irrelevant President Jimmy Carter, Peanut farmer and village idiot.

Let’s look back at some of Carters most memorable achievements.

Gas shortages
Double digit inflation
High interest rates (prime interest rate of 21.5%)
The Iran Hostage crisis
Unconditional amnesty for draft dodgers during the Vietnam war
Return of the US built Panama canal to Panama.

Why would anyone take what he now says worth a grain of salt?

The definition of a racist by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racist is;
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination.

Disagreeing with ones political goals or agendas based on one’s personal beliefs does not equal racism. I take offence at what our village idiot has said about our fellow country men and women that disagree with the politics of President Obama.

Don’t allow the attempts by some to dilute the truth of the matter. Health care is not our biggest threat to the economy spending 900 billion over 10 years is http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Remarks-by-the-President-to-a-Joint-Session-of-Congress-on-Health-Care/

The cost of the program will far exceed 900 billion, it will eventually turn into 2 or three trillion dollars, have you ever seen a government run program cost less than what it starts out to be? Let’s fix the systems we have today Medicare and Medicaid.

Why bring racism into the mix? With an estimated 43% of whites, 54% or Roman Catholics, 66% of Hispanics, and 68% of first time voters electing President Obama (source http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Rahul_Majumdar ) you can’t deny that is an awful lot of non-racist voters.

Jimmy, keep focusing on things that you know about the Guinea worm project in West Africa and Habitat for humanity, leave the real politics to people who actually know what they are doing.
