President Obama's Speech Outburst

Summary: Ex President Jimmy Carter spoke out on the incident that occurred during Obama's speech to congress. Carter stated that was "based on racism" of having a black president as well as many other americans. The outburst came after the president had stated that illegal aliens will be ineligible for health insurance. Republicans were upset and let them know by making sounds of disapproval along with Congressman Wilson's outburst. Wilson's son defended his father by stating that there is not a racist bone in his dad.



Opinion: It is so easy to see that having a president who is African American would be hard on our country. I think that Carter's statement about Wilson being racist was a little bit too much just because he didn't agree with what the president had to say. Yes, it was disrespectful to make such an outburst but to make a comment saying that someone is racist because our president is black is rude. People i think don't know how to react or feel about having an African-American president who had once been muslim. It's a big step to turn christian for a country you want to be the president of. I guess I feel that having a black president will open up this country and help us move further and progress.
