First Amendment

I do believe that former president carter has a point to what he's saying. For someone to just blatently have an outburst like "You lie!!!" in such a serious setting its not only because he didn't agree with his health plan...it's also because he has something against Obama personally and I believe its because he's black. And in the Kanye West situation I do believe he was indeed wrong even though in this country there is the freedom of speech.This is to a certain extent. It was his opinion that Beyonce had a better video than Taylor Swift, but for him to come interrupt her happy moment for him to tell all of America his opinion was not right. It embarrassed her and when his freedom of speech affects other people, its not right. I do believe the media has a right to question his first amendment right because sure we have a freedom of speech but its always a time a place, and a manner to display a freedom of speech. I do believe most of the media story is one sided, most stories take up for taylor swift, however, there are some who try to defend Kanye West by saying he was intoxicated at the moment and that he really isnt in his right mind ever since his mother died. However, I do not believe there was any excuse for his actions
