Jimmy Carter: “I will nominate J. Jackson Walter, of Tallahassee, Fla., to be Director of the Office of Government Ethics.”

I think the last report I saw was that 28 loans have been made for people to rebuild their own homes.

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

Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.

I think that sends a clear signal to Maliki that we won't be there indefinitely and my hope is that they'll be a commitment by the world community including the controversial nations of Syria and Iran.
