History might not be kind to him as a President, but you can't really deny what he stands for as a person, and when a past President of the U.S. comes on out and says the row against Obama is racist - well - there's a lot to be said for that.
Former US President Jimmy Carter says much of the vitriol against President Barack Obama's health reforms and spending plans is "based on racism".Not much more to say than that.
Mr Carter told a public meeting there was "an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president".
