Former President Jimmy Carter says the protests against Obama are about racism
Protests against President Obama's policies and thoughts are not a black and white issue.
Former President Jimmy Carter says protesters are playng the race card in the town hall and the tea party meetings. He suggests the color of President Obama's skin is behind many of these protests.
As in all similiar things when it comes to race, religion, nationality and culture, some of what he says may be true but it is not the significant thing that is driving the protests. As a matter of fact there are many things that are driving the revolt of the people. President Obama may look different when his picture is put in line of all the former presidents but his color is not the core issue of our times. In fact, he is only 50 percent black by birth and probably alot less than that after Harvard got through training him.
Twelve of the presidential nonimees for the past two decades graduated from Harvard or Yale. Harvard/Yale graduates make up a fraction of 1 percent of our national population but win more than 83 percent of our recent presidential elections. What kind of "ism" should be applied to this reality or to an economy controlled by the eastern establishment. This has happened during the most massive dislocation of workers in U.S. history including the Great Depression.
On top of this, our economy has been controlled in one way or another by Ivy League trained economists. They have failed but this does not stop President Obama from using the them over again to supposedly restore the economy. Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans exposed a vast underclass in America living in a silent depression and no one in government even talks about it.
( Compare the Ivy League presidents with some of our best presidents who never received a college degree. They include George Washington, Andrew Jackson ( a president from the people ), Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland and Harry Truman. )
The free traders and globalists are still in control although our economy based on making money on money instead of making things is falling apart. If people had any racist issues about the President, the critical problems of our times has crowded these tendencies out of the picture. When I see President Obama, I see more of a white man trained in the rite of Ivy League thinking. That thinking is a government by some sort of paternalism - something similar to being a plantation owner from the past.
The protests against President Obama are really about a protest against a polarized two party system or should I say a one party system.
I see communcation by rank with workers having no voice in matters of their destiny.
I see free traders and globalists running the show even though they are the cause of the problem and not the solution. President Obama has yet to ask the real question of our times. Who said we had to compete like this in a global economic arena? It certainly did not evovle in any natural economic fashion.
I see a new kind of trickle down economics in play. However this trickle down economy now comes down from big government and the public sector rather than from the private sector as in the Reagan era.
I see a president who has bailed out big money and telling the workers, this is good thing I am doing for you as he jumps over their real needs of the day. With the bail outs, President Obama had put tariffs on this and future generations to come.
To me, President is most everything else and besides being half black. He surrendered that part of him to the economic and cultural gods of the eastern establishment from places like Harvard and Yale of the Ivy League. To me President Obama acts more like an plantation owner with intellectual trained communication by rank background. On top of this he never had a job like most of us working with our hands and mind in the private sector.

Obama's cart before the horse economy- a new trickle down economy coming down from big government married to big money
