President Jimmy Carter on Hardball

title's pretty self explanatory. and apologies for the lack of updates -- finals this week. holla some duas please, if you get the chance.



From the last TRUE Christian President the USA had

"At 82, Carter has the same boyish smile, the luminous blue eyes and friendly demeanor that helped him win the presidency in 1976.

I remember when he lost to Reagan in 1980. He was too level headed and honest to win a second term.

They thought they were through with him, then. They figured he'd fade into history as another one of those one term presidents who people would only vaguely remember.

Boy were they wrong.

At 82 years of age, Carter could have retired quietly and still would have made history for everything he's accomplished since he left office.

But, he decided instead to go out with a bang.

Jimmy Carter turned out to be the most courageous man to hold presidential office in America since John F. Kennedy and hands down the man with the most integrity.

In this Hardball interview, he puts what's-his-face to shame when he tries to minimize the appalling conditions in the West Bank and Gaza by comparing it to the massacres in Rwanda. Essentially, Carter tells him to talk to the hand.

He may be mild-mannered and unassuming - but, the man not only knows how to play Hardball with ISRAEL before the world - with everything that entails - he has the courage to do it singlehandedly.

God Bless him.

Jimmy Carter will go down in history as the only American president EVER to call the israeli occupation what it is - HORRENDOUS and APARTHEID." Amen
