Yeah looked at some of those. There was more spin in setting them up than there was in the actual quotes.

Here's one they trumpeted:

“It was a great day for Jimmy Carter. The former president heard early this morning that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. Carter was president from 1977 to 1981. He is the least popular president in the period after World War II. In the mid-1990’s, on the other hand, he was occasionally introduced as the only man who has ever used the presidency as a stepping stone to greatness.”

Here he comments that Carter was not a great president but achieved his claim to fame with Habitat for Humanity and then the Nobel Prize.

Where's the spin?
