OK, let me see if I understand her logic (sarc)?

If I say your policies are stupid and you are a dumbA$$ to Jimmy Carter I'm just stating my opinion but if I say your policies are stupid and you are a dumbA$$ to Barack Obama I am prejudice ???????

No really I do understand the RACE-CARD when I see it!!!!

That’s the only card the progressives have to play because Obama’s record and IQ suck.
