Former President Jimmy Carter reiterated Wednesday that he believes racism is an issue for President Obama in trying to lead the country.

"When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds," the Democrat who served from 1977-1981 told students at Emory University.

I think it's based on racism," Carter said at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta. "There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president."

The Georgia Democrat said the outburst was a part of a disturbing trend directed at the president that has included demonstrators equating Obama to Nazi leaders.

"Those kind of things are not just casual outcomes of a sincere debate on whether we should have a national program on health care," he said. "It's deeper than that."

It’s not like it’s hard to find loads of blatant racism against Obama, but I found a piece by Alan Bock entitled “How brainy is Obama?” over at Antiwar.com to be an interesting specimen.

Surprise surprise! It turns out that Obama has “cunning” (animal cunning, perchance?) but nothing “resembling real learning”:

He undoubtedly has an IQ slightly higher than normal or he wouldn’t have made it through college and law school (though it might be interesting to see his transcripts, which to my knowledge he hasn’t released yet). But in retrospect what he seems to have displayed throughout his career is cunning rather than anything resembling real learning.

Holy cow! That’s nuts on any reading and pretty hard to read as anything but straight up racist. Note the description of George Bush:

George W. Bush was not quite the dunce some made him out to be, but one would be hard pressed to find evidence of intellectual curiosity, a philosophy of governance formed by much deep thinking, a willingness to dig into policy details, or a capacity to learn much from either study or experience.

So, Bush is brighter than all evidence adduces, but tends not to apply his (minimal?) smarts. Obama is cunning, but dumb. In particular, he’s not learned.

If you want more just ask I have tons of proof. I read an research everything.

It's fun and informative sometimes you get your felling hurt , but debate is a way to air thing out.

There’s a reason nobody, including Bush, Obama and Greenspan, understands what happened, or how to fix it. That’s exactly how it was designed by the super-rich and super-elite on Wall Street and in Washington D.C. Believe it or not, the ‘Housing Meltdown’ and the ‘Economic Meltdown’ were two completely separate things. Their only connection is that the ‘Housing Meltdown’ created the opportunity and setting for the ‘Economic Meltdown’. But on the way to the bank, something sinister happened. With a Republican ally in the White House, the world’s super-rich and super-elite, “My base” as George Bush affectionately called them, and the “shadow government” as referred to by others, enlisted Hank Paulson to carry out their instructions. These people have Obama scared because they can ruin him or even kill him, I read that Regan Was shot because he wanted to look into secret organizations, I don't know if it true , however you can't become President unless you belong to certain organizations.

I believe that Demons are the one who murder,steal on a large scale(like Wall Street brokers ) start wars for selfish reason,rape women,and kids an men. My question is when Jesus was in the wilderness and met with a Demon and refuse him , who did the Demon give the World power too.

Their are a lot of Africans that are very ,very smart and educated I met some , a doctor from Africa said that the middle class in some parts of Africa live better than we do in America , not to mention that country has been devastated for more than 1000 years or more from what i research. There are some that our playing American Football, Head-up the United Nation,My doctor is from Africa,and very good at his practice;However Indian women are hot and so are the Chinese women not all . You sound as if Africans are stay dogs , Aids is man made, there a lot of money to be made off Aids and the Pharm. are doing a good job. So they should emigrate if they want too. O how many Indians or Chinese are playing American Sports. May the Norse God Odin grant the Viking a good football season.

Christians, they love to talk about how loving, dutiful and compassionate they are, yet I have yet to meet ONE who does not practice hypocrisy to the highest degree.I notice that no one has said much about lesbian, is it because men like to look at them, sex is fun,and a whole lot better than killing,some lady boys look better than women; I been to some shows i thought they were women,what gays do most men do to there wives and the wives don't like it up the butt some do but most don't ,that a gay act so is going down on your wife lesbian act.Gays are frowned upon because of Religion of Christianity and Islam,straighten them out and we get rid of a lot of bigotry and hate.

For nearly two thousand years Biblicists have been lecturing people on the importance of adhering to the Bible’s teachings on ethics, manners, and morality. They quote Jesus and Paul profusely, with a liberal sprinkling of Old Testament moralist. The problem with their approach lies not only in an oft- noted failure to practice what they preach, but an equally pronounced tendency to ignore what the Bible itself, preaches. Christians practice what can only be described as “selective morality”. What they like, they cling to and shove down others throats; what they don’t like, they ignore vehemently. I believe 'There is no Religion Higher than Truth.

In the twelve years of the Reagan/Bush era, the National Debt had grown tremendously, from 930,210,000 ($2.748 Trillion in 2010 dollars) in 1980 to $4,177,009,000,000 ($6.49 Trillion in 2010 dollars). In absolute terms, the debt rose between 1980 and 1992 by 450%. Even in dollars adjusted for inflation, 12 years of Republican rule grew the National Debt by 236% and increased its value from 33% of our GDP to effectively double that, or 66% of GDP. Quite an accomplishment.

Congress is technically on recess—but the Republican Congress is still holding symbolic meetings to prevent President Obama's recess appointments. This is the latest in a long campaign to block Obama's nominees—in particular women and people of color—from getting a vote. Republicans suck because they lie
