Hell freezes over

Sweet, fancy Moses, I (sort of) find myself in agreement with Bill Clinton:

"I believe that some of the right-wing extremists which oppose President Obama are also racially prejudiced and would prefer not to have an African-American president," Clinton told CNN's Larry King in a wide-ranging interview aired Monday evening. "But I don't believe that all the people who oppose him on health care -- and all the conservatives -- are racists. And I believe if he were white, every single person who opposes him now, would be opposing him then."

The "sort of" qualification comes from the implication that "right-wing extremists"—whether racist or not—are behind the opposition to ObamaCare, not to mention Porkulus and several of Obama's other economic policies. There are plenty of moderates and independents who are opposed to those policies, as polling data has suggested consistently over the past few months.

Are there some peckerwoods who oppose anything Obama does because of his race? Unfortunately, yeah, there are. But they're a small and diminishing minority in this country. My evidence for this idea? President Obama.

I'd also like to thank Clinton for, essentially, kicking Jimmah Carter right in his metaphorical balls.
