Jimmy Carter: “The best weapon is one that's never used in combat.”

An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.

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

All of us owe them our gratitude and respect.

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