Jimmy Carter: “This will be our first balanced budget in 12 years.”

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.

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.
