Goodnight Jimmy!

A few days ago on ABC the parsimonious Jimmy Carter confirmed just how tenuous his grip on reality has become with each passing year when he told Brian Williams ".....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” and “that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country.......”

This is an enormous and dreadful slander against the majority of Americans.The animosity towards Obama is because of his constant deceit and awful, destructive, policies not because of the pigmentation of his skin or the woeful circumstances of his paternity about which most Americans are indifferent. Many of those who voted for Obama are now coming out of the ether and are opposing his policies. They stand aghast at his fiscal profligacy and in disbelief at his appointees from those with the most radical if not disgraceful records of anti-American activities to tax cheats and anti-semites, his internationalism that is an assault on the Declaration of Independence, his weakening of our military readiness, and his attempts through Cap & Trade and Health Care Reform to spread the tentacles of government over every aspect of our national life. Is this because they have just discovered that he is black? When more than 94% of black voters cast their vote for Obama were they demonstrating racist tendencies by voting with such racial solidarity or had they been so hypnotised by his nebulous appeals for "Hope" and "Change" that their reason had been overcome by their imagination? What say you, Jimmy?

Jimmy Carter presided over interest rates that exceeded 19%, an unempoyment rate of 7.5%, an inflation rate of 13.5%, a hostage crisis in Iran that lasted for 440 days, a botched rescue attempt and a failed foreign policy towards Iran and the Middle East from which we still suffer today. No wonder he is a darling of the Islamofascists. He is the most discredited and weakest president we have had since the end of World War II although he may not enjoy that distinction for much longer. Most of his pronouncements are an instant sedative but like some old actor he suddenly comes to life whenever he feels the glow of the spotlight upon him. His constant and anxious need to latch onto some cause or phenomenon in order to give himself some relevance upon the national or world stage is becoming increasingly embarrasssing particularly since he has become a "useful idiot" for the enemies of America. His reputation is beyond all redemption. "Ambition creeps as well as soars", wrote Burke. It's time for Jimmy to creep back home and read a good book. This, of course, would not be one of his own.
