Obama: 1, Carter: 0

It was a good move for President Obama:

"Are there some people who don't like me because of my race?" he said. "I'm sure there are.

"Are there some people who voted for me only because of my race? There are probably some of those too.

But he added that he thought some were "more passionate about the idea of whether government can do anything right.

"And I think that that's probably the biggest driver of some of the vitriol."

I hope that he really believes what he says and that it will neutralize the poison produced by that senile troll. On the other hand, the senile troll could occupy himself now exchanging soundbites with another one of the same ilk, but from the opposite side of political spectrum.

Be good for both.
