Jimmy Carter: “Submitted February 28, 1980”

I watched him on television. I thought what he said was absolutely ridiculous. There's no rational or logic to what he had to say.

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

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

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