Jimmy Carter Regurgitated

Ed Koch, a former mayor of new York City recollects a scene from the Carter campaign. To read the whole article, go to this site. RealClearPolitics Below is an excerpt:

I came to know Carter well.

When he ran for reelection, he asked me to campaign for him in 1980 -- I was by then Mayor of New York City -- and I said that I would vote for him, but not campaign for him because he was then engaging in hostile acts towards Israel. I was popular with the Jewish community and when I would not campaign for him unless he changed his position, he called me to his hotel in New York when attending a fundraiser and said, "You have done me more damage than any man in America." I felt proud then, and even more today, since we now know what a miserable president he was then and the miserable human being he is now as he prepares to meet with Hamas.

I heartily agree that Jimmy Carter is a miserable human being.I just cannot come to grips with what his motive would be. Help me out here Watchdog Hattie. Is he a modern day Aaron Burr?

Wow... Who knew?!!! And now he wants to negotiate between Israel and Hamas, despite the U.S. government asking him not to get involved. Incredible. Just what Israel needs...
