Jimmy Carter: “Good afternoon, everybody.”

I don't agree with that at all.

Carter says the animosity directed at the president over health care, the big bailouts, is being driven because Mr. Obama is a black man.

I hope that this book, which is -- has a provocative title, but I don't consider provocative to be a bad word.

The title was very carefully chosen by me. And the first word is the most important. It's Palestine. The land of the Palestinians. It doesn't refer to Israel at all.
