Critics' attacks of President Obama are scarier than bias:
"Every American President in a furious political fight is going to be criticized, and a black President does not get a pass. It is condescending to think that a man of Barack Obama's intellect and political skills needs to be coddled.
But Carter is right on one big and important point: The pattern of attacks on Obama suggests that there are people who don't accept the idea that this man, the first black man to win the highest office in the land, is really the President.
These critics seem less interested in arguing about health care proposals than in building the case that Obama is not legitimately our national leader."
