Totally agree!! Jimmy Carter ought to be ashamed of himself. He is the first President at least in my lifetime, that has openly criticized another Administration. And to make matters worse, IMO, he is doing that in other countries, and again IMO, embolding the simpletons who think they can try to take down this country by another suicide bombing as in 9-11 ------->or worse. Is Jimmy Carter another Jane Fonda? Or should we just remember for a nothing administration that seemed to foster LONG LONG gas lines..... Jimmy Carter apparently believes that joining campaigns against the current administration lies within the bounds of discretion. If Carter has been practicing "discretion", Lord spare us from his idea of "indiscretion".
