So...David Remnick forgot that both Dem Presidents Carter and Clinton were Trashed as Southerners!

I watched Charlie Rose's interview with David Remnick who did an Obama Retrospective in the "New Yorker Magazine" which was really a "tortured interview," IMHO

But..back to my point.

Obama is trashed by the Right...CERTAINLY because the RW is Playing a Race Card...but, both Lyndon Johnson, (Medicare, Voting Rights Act & War on Poverty) and Jimmy Carter (A Georgia R Peanut Farmer..One Time who had Bad Luck) and then Clinton (a Georgtown, Yale Law School Graduate who met his Midwestern Wife from Chicago Suburbs and moved back to his home state with his Bride) Who did an amazing SWEEP ...but scandal and terrible Trade Deals and some coziness with Wall Street set us on the course we are on today. Who knows what Clinton had to compromise to get the Monica Scandal over and done with to get himself rehabed in the eyes of not only RW Repugs...but Disillusioned Dems.

Bill Clinton was an Arkansas Governor who spoke with a worse accent than even Carter...BUT...HE WON an election for Democrats after Two Term Reagan and Bush I. And what did he do with his own legacy?

So, why I get angry about Obama Supporters playing the RACE CARD is that our LAST TWO DEM PRESIDENTS....were TRASHED just BECAUSE they WERE Southerners. Where is the Race Card in that? We finally get the "Perfect Candidate" and he Gets TRASHED because he's articulate and grew up in Hawaii with an international background due to his Mother with her Foundation Money because she was a "self made woman" who managed to get Grant Money from High Places.

So....does this mean that only Dems from Northeastern, Western or the Midwestern States are Viable Candidates? Which only Makes the South More Red..if their Democratic Presidents are always Challenged by their Accents, Race or Constituencies they need to Navigate through to be ELECTABLE...RACISM/CLASS/BIRTH/REGIONAL LOCATION
ALL are fodder for the RW...and yet our Dems know this...and yet they don't to SUPPORT that it's not just RACE...its CLASS! And NO DEMOCRAT can overcome this. We need the Entitled Bushies or Reagan the ACTOR from California (Hollywood) to have any Credibility. Otherwise it's TRASH DEMS.

So why does the Democratic Party seem to always NAVIGATE to the SOUTH ...Is this because of Finance (when we know Wall Street Rules) or Something Else?



WHAT DO YOU THINK...

OR

All will be trashed for Democratic Presidential Candidates BECAUSE of their accents and their Donors or Handlers?
