That didn’t take long. Apparently the Carter 2.0 White House isn’t willing to associate himself with the original Carter. Good call.

“The president does not believe that — that the criticism comes based on the color of his skin,” Gibbs said. “We understand that people have disagreements with some of the decisions that we’ve made and some of the extraordinary actions that had to be undertaken by this administration and previous administrations to stabilize our financial system, to ensure viability of our domestic auto industry.”…

Gibbs was asked by reporters why this is not a “teachable moment” on race similar to the one that Mr. Obama identified following the Cambridge police flap.

“Obviously, the president has, and has always had, great concerns about race relations in this country,” he replied. “He’s talked about them in speeches. He’s talked about them throughout his career in politics; believes we’ve made great strides, and obviously we’ve got work to do. But I — I don’t — I’m not sure I see this — this large national conversation going on right now.”

It’s always fun getting lectured on tolerance by a guy whose antisemitic book has been praised by none other than Osama Bin Laden. Hey, Hamas Jimmy. Spare me the disingenuous, race-baiting bullcrap.
