Jimmy Carter: “We will continue to protect American interests and, if possible, preserve the peace.”

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

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

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

Base on what I just said, which I can't retract.
