Yes, of course the everyone wants to disassociate themselves from the Nobel Prize winner....right. Does this actually pass for journalism?

Well, we all know that there is no love lost between Carter and Clinton, plus Carter took a lot of hit after over his book "Palestine:Peace Not Apartheid", and he took it on the chin head held high defending it and his right to say it. My opinion is that Carter was the one who stepped away from the pack and not the other way.

It would serve Barack Obama well to seek out Jimmy Carter's advice over this new wave of Palestinian / Israeli trouble.

I love Jimmy Carter. He is a Good Man, which is much more than can be said about most people in power (IMO)

Can you imagine what kind of fucking pulsar-like power generation was required to drive that Denial Machine in his head so that he would not suddenly realize he was surrounded by men orders of magnitude more intelligent than him and start babbling even more incoherently than usual?

Like I said yesterday, he tried to take Obama down a notch because he has to. He is absolutely required to belittle people smarter and more accomplished than him. He's probably been doing it since the second grade.

Willpen - I read that book. In fact, I'm going to take it off my shelf and read it again. It's very good.

Nano - Did the Douchebag-in-Chief do something specific to try to take Obama down a notch? I didn't catch it except for the "I really like this rug" clips. Fascinating!

This is what caught my attention the other day Broadway-

"All of us who have served in this office understand that the office itself transcends the individual and we wish you all the very best, and so does the country," Bush said to his successor."

It sounded to me like he was taking a condescending jab at Obama's soaring popularity and the jab was coming from a narcissist who's always believed it's all about him.

Of course, he could have just been trying to sound eloquent while surrounded by a group of men far more articulate and eloquent than him. Again, just another sign of his soul-crushing insecurity.

You should have written, "it was the monkey in the middle."

I was born in 1981 so my opinion of Jimmy has come from secondary sources only. I have learned that he created the CAFE standards and double the fuel efficiency of US vehicles in is one term. I also learned that he put solar panels on the White House, which Reagan removed. He also tried to get Big Bush to give him the secret information about Area 51. According to Hannity, he cause inflation to go up to 22%. I am willing to bet that he will not be anywhere near Little Bush on the bottom of the list.

I like Jimmy Carter.

He doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk.

Check out the Carter Center, the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Partnership Foundation, or the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project - Habitat for Humanity.

In his lifetime, Jimmy Carter has done more for basic human rights and democracy around the world, and things to help the underprivileged worldwide than most US Presidents combined.

He's the real deal, not a phony photo-op seeker.

Joe - what you're hearing about Carter is being filtered thru a GOP lens. Was he a great president? No - probably because he is a basically decent human being who wasn't good at playing the DC games. But for working people, he was a damn sight better than Nixon, Ford, Reagan, or either Bush.
St Ron more than doubled the national debt and took unemployment from 6.3% in Jan, 1980 to 10.8% by Nov, 1982. By the time he left office in 1989, the rate was 5.4%, which Bush I got up to 7.4% by Dec., 1992. It was at 3.9% in Dec, 2000, and Bush II has managed, once again, to fall just short of his father's achievement by hitting 7.2% last month.
So the next time a GOP person talks about how the Dems know shit about the economy & how to increase jobs, remind yourself that the GOP's track record is one of killing jobs, not creating them.

just adding that IMO, Jimmy Carter is one of the finest role models this country could have & if any of my kids turn out like him, I'll be one proud woman!

Ceu, my new theory in life to so love everything that Rush and Hannity hate. If they hate it, it must be good for the country. The more research I do on Mr. Carter the more I like him.

Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes the GOP have fucked the National Deficit, Union Workers, All middle income workers, the working poor, the planet, minorities and I really hope this message gets outs effectively every two years and especially every four years.
