Amy. The lesson that I draw from Pres. Carter's actions is that every politician will ultimately disappoint us to some degree. I always go back to Teddy Roosevelt's remarks about the Pres. only being the highest ranking public servant in the nation and the one who should be judged by the highest standards. Unfortunately, a whole bunch of people have forgotten or never learnt this. They were so flimflammed this time that any critical faculties were knocked out by the Koolaid. That's the only explanation I can give for people (like Bob Herbert), whom I thought of as a sensible person, seem to have gone totally bonkers. Meanwhile, the Dem Party, among whose ranks I considered myself to reside until around Feb. 2008, have resorted to despicable actions when their master plan for us started to go astray, with the result that they have managed to wreck race relations and any kind of cooperative spirit to the point that they seem almost irreparable.

I am extremely proud That my country has overcome race and elected a black man for our Leader. I am proud for the black American's who now have a leader that they can back and support because he is one of their own. I see the election of Mr. Obama as the end sought in that terrible war fought to decide slavery in which so many American's, Black, white, red and brown died and suffered to make men free. I feel that anyone who uses the racism word to enable a political agenda is in fact a racist themselves. Jimmy Carter is a son of the old south. The old south was racist. Jimmy uses the term racism and racist to enable his political agenda. I disagree with much Barack Obama stands for.

If people don’t agree with Obama they are ignorant, uneducated ..." I think lauraks answers your question about Sharpton -- and I say this as someone who respects Rev. Sharpton. Obama's race card is code for 'white trash.' It's a different strategy from Sharpton calling NYPD racist. Sharpton, as an expert on race politics, knows what Obama is up to: playing the race card to manipulate the left into defending his giveaway to pharma, his cave-in on abortion, etc. Sharpton never plays race to benefit 'The Man.' “I really think all of this racist talk is a smokescreen … If people don’t agree with Obama they are ignorant, uneducated …”

In other words, shut your trap" Amen! You can add that President Ford kept his mouth shut about Iraq War. It's a huge breach of protocol for an ex-President to pre-empt a sitting C-in-C. Not to mention depicting POTUS as a charity case. Yes, we respect Carter's missionary work. But Obama is POTUS, not some poor Third World tsunami victim. Carter sees all blacks--Obama included Obama--as victims in need of his help. Carter was more disrespectful to Obama's office than Joe Wilson. “I wish President Carter would show the same kind of dignity that President Bush I showed to President Clinton, and that President Clinton showed to President Bush II and so on.

He went into great detail describing the event and the circumstances. He also described the charges that Mandel had to deal with that were later overturned. That said, I can not give a specific citation for the quote. However, most radio talkshow hosts, especially conservative ones, are extremely careful to be accurate because they are all well aware that there are parties that monitor them closely for the specific purpose of trying to catch them in factual errors. I've always encouraged and supported this type of hostile scrutiny, it keeps things honest, so I can have more confidence in the validity of facts that are given by radio hosts. This story had references to many of the players involved, times, dates, and circumstances that all gave it the ring of truth. Also, if it had been inaccurate, you can bet that representitives from Carter's camp would be howling defamation today. But it is the sort of thing that Carter will not cry too loudly about simply because he does not want the truth of his statement to become too ubiquitous.
