Jimmy Carter: “I can't imagine any circumstance under which those vested retirement funds would be lost to you.”

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

That our country for the first time in my lifetime has abandoned basic principles of human rights.

If you take that 50 percent who just don't want to vote for Clinton and add it to whatever element there might be who don't think Obama is white enough or old enough or experienced enough or because he has got a middle name that sounds…

This is a very wise and very courageous thing for President Obama to do. And in my opinion, is long overdue.
