Jimmy Carter: “Mother's Day affords us an opportunity to express our thanks to our own mothers.”

An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he 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.

I fear for our democracy.
