During his speech, Carter called the war in Iraq one of the most "gross and damaging mistakes our nation ever made."
I can think of another "gross and damaging mistake" our nation made.
Carter said he does not usually endorse any candidates from the Democratic Party before the conclusion of the primary elections but that he has always supported Democratic candidates in general elections. If his wife Rosalynn Carter were hypothetically to run for office on behalf of an independent human rights party, Carter said, he would vote for her. If he were running for office this year, Carter said, his platform would be based on making the nation worthy of being titled a "superpower."
History demonstrates Jimmy Carter can solve the world's problem of America being "hyper-power" in a single four year term.
"Justice, peace, freedom, democracy, human rights, environmental quality and the alleviation of suffering — that's what I would propose that every American, and not just Democrats and not just Republicans, work to achieve as a well-deserved reputation for America," he said. Carter responded to personal question as well. He said his two favorite movies are "Casablanca" and "Fahrenheit 9/11." He also agreed to a photo opportunity request from a member of the audience, despite saying that he dislikes such requests.
Casablanca and Fahrenheit 9/11?
Perhaps Mr. Carter should have another look at Casablanca. Look at the character of Victor Laszlo.
I saw Casablanca, too, Mr. Carter. Casablanca's one of my favorite movies, too, maybe my very favorite. And Mr. Carter, you are no Victor Laszlo. |
