Too funny… the second worst President in recent history is giving advice to the worst President in American history. Our debt has made us weak… our rules, regulations, and poor economic policies has made it impossible for private enterprise to create jobs… and without “real” jobs that pay taxes, we are on a spiral of more debt, more poverty, and fewer jobs. Obama, the President of Food Stamps, Class Warfare, and Union Thugs.

President Obama…. Carter’s second term….

Obama is a fraud. Millions of Americans need jobs and yet he fails to approve a vital oil pipe line.

We are trillions in debt and he refuses to cut spending.

His brand of Chicago politics will be scrutinized by history. And if fair minded scholars evaluate him, he will be called a failure.

The words were prophetic indeed – it appeared that Barak Obama’s speech was written by Jimmy Carter.

dear chip of your dad, jimmy,

I am very pleased to see you follow in your fathers footsteps. a daughter does in fact take after her dad. nothing is better than to complement your father in the manner that you are doing. You are indeed an affirmation to something important to this world, the ability to temper knowledge with a touch of class.

Before I read the wikipedia article of you Jimmy Wales. It is stated there that you admire Ayn Rand and endorse the economic system of the Austrian School. That made me wonder, because Obama is a supporter of the keynesian economics with socialist tendencies. The keynesian system tries to give us a solution for the world economic crisis but can’t because it is quite the cause of it.

In my eyes Barack Obama is a great change to George W. Bush – but unfortunately only externally. He has the same political stances like he, as well as McCain, Hillary Clinton or the other neoconservative politicans!

As I said before he doesn’t want to change the economy for the benefit of the people, he wants to keep the old system and add socialist components. In addition he wants more unnecessary wars for example against Iran or Pakistan and policing the world by increasing the number of troops worldwide drastically. The other stances are restricting civil rights, build up the surveillance state, starting a world government by helping to create the North American Union, disarm the people so they are unable to defend themselves against a corrupt government, control the inhabitants and so forth.

Quite contrary there was Ron Paul as a presidential candidate who is also influenced by Ayn Rand and the Austrian School of economics. He is a constitutionalist who defends the civil rights and propose only war when the country is really attacked, that means no false preemptive wars. He wants to make the politicians activities more transparant and is against a North American union. You should look up his wikipedia article, he would really make a content-related change. His message of freedom should be spread.

I wonder why you don’t endorse him?

Jimmy Carter is an exceptional man and a true American hero. His advice to Obama was right on the money and I am pleased to see that Obama has done exactly as Carter would have, or may have, suggested.

More than just our image, the promise and actual persona of our nation is incredibly important. Without solid credibility and unquestionable desires for good we cannot motivate our enemies to change, and our friends to follow. Truth is you cannot possess a stick big enough to control the world. You actually need more.

I give our most industrious ex-President writer activist much credit, but I consider his First Ten Minutes hypothesis to be mostly hyperbole. That said, whatever inspires an inspirational speaker (as President Obama is capable of when he wishes) to inspire others, even if not everyone is equally moved, is laudable.

And — Nice job landing the interview and summarizing Mr. Carter’s views.

While I respect him as a man,I think former President Carter forgets his inability while in office to do any of these things he seems to think Obama will do. President Obama has a wonderful opportunity to change the world, and I hope he will, but he cannot change our reputation around the world with one speech. We all want a world without nuclear weapons, torture, and war. Why anyone would think Mr Carter has the answer to finding this world is beyond me. A good man, but he had his own problems while in office!

PS Jimmy D…my Aunt Nellie was your grandmother, and I loved her more than everything!!!

I’m an Egyptian.. So maybe i can be a spokesman of many Arabs and Egyptians.

What president Carter said to Kira, is really what Arabs hope to happen. Added to this, they hope that he takes a positive action towards the Palestinian-Israeli problems.

I can ensure that Arabs do love president Obama, that’s not because they do or dont understand politics .. But just because of his Islamic origins.
So they believe that he will really give Arabs their rights .. Whatever they are.

They believe that whatever president Obama did, it will be much better than what George W. Bush did!

When president Obama won the election, Arabs did believe that the reputation of the USA will be changed by being much better than before.

President Obama is a smart man and a good politician.
He was able to gain the trust of all major forces; such as Israelis, Arabs, and black Americans which form a huge percentage of the whole Americans.

I just wish that our wishes come true ..
