Jimmy Carter: “A major step forward.”

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

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

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.

I don't think the administration has ever picked up the ball, much less dropped it.
