This American Moment: Jimmy Carter

Having grown up and been active in the 60's, I felt that I had payed my dues, but no, again, I feel as though my country has been taken from me. I'm hoping the election will bring my country back to me.

It is time for our generation to lead us into the future and time to reject the failed policies of the past. Barak is that kind of leader.

This moment means to me that it is time for a new generation to lead us into the future, it is time to reject the failed policies of the past.

I've been asking myself more and more, If Obama were a white man with the same credentials, would he be the nominee? The answer is no. Hillary would have mopped the floor with him.

While I am extremely disappointed that Barak Obama did not select a female running mate, I will most certainly not be voting for McCain. I am a proud Hillary supporter and I feel that Barak could have worked harder to assimilate her supporters in his group.

I can't believe that you wouldn't allow Jimmy Carter to finish his sentence just because it was 3:00. Could you be just a little bit less rigid? This man was the President of the United States and should have been shown greater courtesy.

Cater is senile. Just heard him talking on NPR and he credited Strom Thurman as being from North Carolina. He was not. He does not know the difference between North and South Carolina and he was only one state away.

James Strom Thurmond (December 5, 1902 -- June 26, 2003) was an American politician who served as governor of South Carolina and as a United States Senator

Was I listening to a political convention or a Marjoe tent revival? So many similarities: the hype, the emotion, the lack of substance, the quoting of scripture out of context, and most noticeably, no Messiah present.

Carter is very under-rated.If we followed his energy plan 30 yr.ago..we wouldn't be in this mess.
He was labeled"gloom and doom",by Reagen but was right on the money!People don't seem to know that Carter was a submarine officer(few mistakes can be tolerated on a sub).When Carter speaks..I listen..thanks for having him on!

More than other presidents, Mr Carter has made significant accomplishments after his presidency that will have a lasting impact for generations to come.
