Wake up. The worlds worst administration is now in office. Have you been on another planet the last six years??? Deceit, death, debt, war,lies, war profiteering and corruption are the hallmark of this administration. Because of this group of "my way or the highway" clowns we are the most hated country on the planet. Wake up.
One more thing. Go back to third grade and learn how to spell, use sentence structure and punctuation.
Also, in response to some negative comments on this post: I remember Katie reporting from the Pentagon on NBC 4 in Washington, DC. I have watched here go from DC to the Today Show and now to CBS. Katie made it cool to have a colonoscopy and her work as a result of her husband's death from colon cancer has undoubtably saved many lives. I give her giant credit for being the first woman to solo anchor major network news. I know she has been taking a heap of criticism, and while I don't always agree with her, she does not deserve the downright meanspirited comments shown on this post.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
No doubt that Jimmy Carter is a living example of this - as most of the problems with the Middle East are a DIRECT RESULT of his inept meddling and pandering to terrorists.
He should be flogged, rather than honored; but ignorant liberal elitists are experts at awarding meaningless "honors" to charlatans.
It's interesting to reminisce about the Presidency of Jimmy Carter, but also to acknowledge the active and meaningful role he has played on the national and international political stage, since leaving the Office of the Presidency. I agree that in both his role as President, and now as an active ex President, President Jimmy Carter has proven to be a good man.
Although there is various criticism about his Presidency,and some of his remarks and policies during and after his Presidency, he did many good things during his Presidency,too, including establishing an energy policy for the country, establishing a cabinet post for an energy secretary as well, and participating in the SALT(Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) with Leonid Brezhnev, and thus helping to keep us out of nuclear war, just to name a few.
Especially since his Presidency, his work of intervening in civil wars,, monitoring elections, confronting dictators,and working with Habitat for Humanity, has continued to make a great impact, as you have mentioned, Katie. He also recently wrote the book, "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis", a timely and relevant work for our times. And he has won many national and international awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize Award in 2002. I am pleased that he will be receiving an honorary degree from Oxford as well. Congratulations, President Carter!
And remember, Katie,and everybody, a peanut a day keeps the doctor away, Peter
1. An unabashed anti-American supporter of terrorism, and an enemy of Israel.
2. A pathetically weak leader, if you could even call him one.
3. A moron for attempting to run a 10K in 1979, and not finishing (he jumped into his motorcade half way through the race).
4. Afraid of rabbits, and especially freaked-out by those that swim towards his boat.
