CNN: President Carter said he thinks that a lot of the animosity directed toward President Obama is race related.

Dave Matthews: Of course it is! I found there's a fairly blatant racism in America that's already there, and I don't think I noticed it when I lived here as a kid. But when I went back to South Africa, and then it's sort of thrust in your face, and then came back here -- I just see it everywhere. There's a good population of people in this country that are terrified of the president only because he's black, even if they don't say it. And I think a lot of them, behind closed doors, do say it.
Maybe I'm paranoid about it, but I don't think someone who disagreed as strongly as they do with Obama -- if it was Clinton -- would have stood up and screamed at him during his speech. (Shakes his head) I don't think so.

WOW, you’d think that Obama did not WIN the election. That he did not enjoy an approval rating of almost 70% when he took office, before he started to break almost every one of his campaign pledges and then call all those who oppose him, LiARS!

How stirring to see that Dave Matthews finds racism at every turn, but not a word about the OUT IN YOUR face NO DOUBT ABOUT IT sexism aimed at Hillary and Palin.

Hollywood was utterly silent about the OVERT no maybes about it sexism Hillary and Palin suffered. But when the public gets fed up with Obama style of governance, it is surely racism.
Calling Skippy Gates.

Then Dave Matthews blames the media for Obama’s troubles:

Matthews: I think a lot of it has to be on the press. We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.
There's no way that Walter Cronkite, as a young journalist, no way Ed Murrow would be hired to do news today. Not a chance.

Matthews didn’t give one filberty-jibit when Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Dowd, etc., etc., etc., spewed sexist rants at Hillary. He didn’t mind when the media called Hillary a racist, a whore, a slut and a bitch--in THOSE exact words. Quiet as a church mouse, was Matthews when the press whipped the nation into a frothing brew of misogyny directed toward HRC and Palin.

But now, he finds pretty much every white citizen a racist. LOL. He blames the media for …gasp, actually reporting on the public's discontent with Obama’s policy failures or over-reaches. He actually blames the Obama Protectionist media for Obama’s troubles.

The editor of Time has taken the same tack, telling the Sunday AM talk shows this week that lots of racists voted for Obama. I am really really getting sick of the Media and Hollywood calling the totality of white folks racists. But what is chilling is that when there is OVERT, in your face sexism--that has nothing to do with policy making—Hollywood is about as silent as a movie in the 1920s.
