Elevating the dialogue

Jimmy Carter: People who oppose ObamaCare are racist.
"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American. I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that share the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African Americans. That racism inclination still exists. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of the belief of many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It's an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply."

Nothing makes me want to support ObamaCare like being called a racist by Jimmy Carter!

On the other hand, with Obama and Bernanke doing everything in their power to bring about stagflation, it's a nice touchstone to hear from the patron saint of stagflation. Am I racist if I oppose stagflation, too?
