I've never forgotten a 60 Minutes interview where she was asked about Ronald Reagan. She answered in a soft voice "I think he makes us feel comfortable with our prejudices."
Mike Wallace/Morey Safer said "Isn't that a bit harsh?" She responded "It's how I feel".
Wonderful human being.

(254,330 posts)And she also broke new ground by being more than a "hostess," President Carter had her sit in on cabinet meetings because she asked him so many questions about the issues and what was really going on. And in her role for the Carter Center, she has devoted herself to mental health, has brought resources to war torn parts of the world where few were available before. And she's still quite active - including still working to build houses for Habitat for Humanity!
