When President Obama spoke to a joint session of Congress, Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina shouted out “You lie.’ when President Obama said that illegal immigrants will not get health care under Obamacare.  Rep. Wilson apologized and President Obama accepted.  That should be the end of the story.  But oh no, Jimmy Carter and others on the left have cried racism.  What a slap in the face not only to Mr. Wilson, but also to the American people. Do they really think we believe that what Mr. Wilson did was an act of racism.  Jimmy Carter is from Georgia. Mr. Wilson is from South Carolina.  Are all white southerners racist?  Of course not, because if Jimmy Carter accused Joe Wilson of racism then he cannot be a racist, too.  It is a shame that racism is even being brought up.  This situation is over. An apology was given and it was accepted.  I thought,  even though I was not happy about Obama being elected, that maybe the issue of racism would be put to bed.  Instead it is rearing its ugly head because Maureen Dowd and Jimmy Carter, Caucasians, have the nerve to even say it.  I am a not a racist, however, under Jimmy Carter’s definition I guess I am.  It is a shame that since President Obama has become president that if you exercise your right to free speech and oppose anything that Obama wants, then you are a racist.  What is happening when we can’t even say how we feel without being branded a racist?  Being labeled a racist is a very serious charge.  It is not something to be taken lightly.  I think Jimmy Carter needs to go back to his peanut farm, but before he heads back to Plains he needs to apologize to Joe Wilson and the American people.
