Jimmy Carter has hardly spent the last 40 years in an ivory towee, being 70 plus has nothing to do with anything, He's 80 plus by the way. I don't agree with him, but he speaks from decades of experience in the deep South and carries a certain amount of credibility with him and calling him ignorant is just plain, well you figure it out.

You continue to do little other than post vile personal attacks directed toward other posters in this forum.

As to your point about Carter, I hardly think that a 70 plus year old man who was President and thus spent the greater part of the last 40 years in an ivory tower is best able to speak for what motivates the majority of Americans - regardless of the fact he was born in Georgia - and he's certainly no more qualified to offer such an opinion than a white male living in Richmond Virginia.

Therefore your claim that this is the "first" time a school speech has been politically scrutinized is completely false.

Not true.

When it comes to identifying racism, I submit that a white male from Plains, Georgia just might be a bit better able to call it than you are. And, as far as running ignorant mouths, don't worry: you clearly retain the title.

Just because Bush caught hell from the Dems for his speech, doesn't make what happened to Obama's speech right.

That statement is completely false as another poster noted. George HW Bush was investigated via hearings about his school speech, yet I'm guessing Tyrone had no problem with that.

Point taken....on the other hand, I am not a vehement right winger and I am not trying to make too big a deal of this, but we would all ALSO be remiss if we ignored the idea that maybe politicians should not be speaking directly to school children, period.

Maybe it would be better if politicians should instead just INDIRECTLY influence school kids by being a good role model and speaking directly to citizens in general about education as a priority.

"Unlike the Obama speech, in 1991 most of the controversy came after, not before, the president's school appearance. The day after Bush spoke, the Washington Post published a front-page story suggesting the speech was carefully staged for the president's political benefit.
