Jimmy Carter: “It's an exciting thing to come tonight to see democracy in action.”

the federal, state and local government process to get the money appropriated to the families so they can start rebuilding their homes is a total disaster.

Our great nation now teeters on the brink of a widening abyss. Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.

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

I don't agree with that at all.
