  • February 27, 2009 - Atlanta, Georgia :  Hundreds of people stood in the pouring rain outside the Georgia state capitol to protest the Obama administration's stimulus package. <br />
<br />
The "Atlanta Tea Party" was one of many Tea Party events that took place across the nation February 27, 2009. The idea originated from CNBC analyst Rick Santelli's on-air rants last week for a new "tea party" to protest the stimulus plan from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.<br />
At the Atlanta event this afternoon people clumped together under an array of umbrellas, many getting soaked to the bone during the rainstorm. The 40-minute demonstration included speeches by some members of the Georgia Legislature. <br />
<br />
The crowd whooped and roared as people from the microphone railed about the "socialists running the country," called for extensive tax cuts, read the Declaration of Independence and defended the sanctity of the Constitution. The event ended with demonstrators dumping tea bags into a bucket.

  • ATLANTA, GA - SEPT 16, 2009: Former president Jimmy Carter visited Emory for his 28th annual Carter Town Hall meeting for Emory University's 1,300 freshmen, in which Carter responds to students questions. This year's event took place against a backdrop of Carter's comment the previous day, quoted by Fox News, that Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's recent speech to Congress was "based on racism."<br />
<br />
The questions at the Emory event said as much about Carter as it did about the students, many of whom spent the Q&A period texting on their cell phones. The opening question of the evening was what he thought of Kanye West's outburst at the VMA Music awards. Carter responded that he thought it was uncalled for.<br />
<br />
Midway through the hour-long session, he took a question about Obama and racism and responded, "When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, or when they wave signs in the air that say that we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kind of attacks are beyond the bounds of the way presidents have ever been accepted, even with people who disagree [with them]. I think people who are guilty of that type of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he is African-American. It's a racist attitude."<br />
<br />
The final question addressed how he upheld his obligations to  his family when he was president. "My family took care of me," he responded, and with that he left the stage and immediately went to Rosalynn Carter, his wife of 57 years, took her hand and exited.
