Read the review of the Carters' book <i>Everything to Gain</i> that PJ did for the <i>American Spectator</i> (reprinted in the <i>Give War a Chance</i> collection).

Polls say that Carter was TEH WORST PREZNIT EVAH because it is so written in the Big Book o' Wingnut Mythology; therefore, any so-called "actual" polls are irrelevant in the face of the metaphysical, higher-truth polls that exist in wingnuts' heads. It's very simple: Carter was TEH WORST PREZNIT EVAH because *mumblemumble,* whereas Reagan was TEH BEST PREZNIT EVAH because funding and arming Central American death squads is Totally Sweet.

Anyway, the quote was, "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he is an African-American."<br /><br />Changing "intensely demonstrated animosity" to just "critics" makes it a strawman argument. But why even bother doing that if your retort is, "Oh yeah? Well, you were a bad president!"
