"I think 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," Carter told NBC News. "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 shares 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 belief among 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," Carter said.

First of all Carter says there's an "overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man"... Since it is clear that an overwhelming amount of white people brought Obama into office, I think he's a bit off in this statement.
Jesus tells us that in the last days "Nations will rise against nations, kingdoms against kingdoms" which really translates to "race against race"...and now we are seeing the worst racial divide coming from leaders who claim to be enlightened and desire to bring about equality to all people.
I work and live daily with people from all ethnic backgrounds. I have never heard or witnessed any of them saying that they feel like they are being treated poorly or discriminated by anyone. But with elite leaders and press continuing to bombard us with hateful speech, the masses will follow like sheep and believe the lies given.
Wilson said "You lie" to Obama in a setting that was not appropriate. He deserves to be reprimanded. But now it is up to us, the citizens of America, to weed through the words written and spoken by the President and by every leader in government, to see what is a lie and what is not. Sadly, that's really hard to do when you have the press in America to depend on for information.
Coming from a retired former Constitutional lawyer he writes;
The Truth About the Health Care Bills
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.
However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not deemed “acceptable” to the “Health Choices Administrator” appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a “tax” instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the “due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn’t stop there though. The 9th Amendment that provides: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;” The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation” to support the Constitution. If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they consult the source. Here is a link to the Constitution: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html
And another to the Bill of Rights: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html
There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

Regarding the writing of the "consitutional lawyer": I don't know what the 3rd Amendment has to do with this, but I'm pretty sure the US Government blasted the 4th and 5th Amendments to oblivion long before this administration took office. And how naive does an individual in 21st-century America have to be to believe that anybody elected to serve in Washington, DC, feels inextricably "'bound by oath or affirmation' to support the Constitution"? Where are the people that the Constitution (and its framers) expected to be in these elected offices? Seems to me they certainly aren't the ones recently or currently running for election or reelection.
(By the way, what is a "constitutional lawyer"?)
Regarding President Carter: I believe blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And furthermore, yadayadayada yadayadayada. And that's the point for me, if there is one.
You are right that our constitution has been blasted apart long ago. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to correct it.
Regarding Carter...what can I say? You said it all.
