Do I feel betrayed by this President? Yes.

157. Thank you Cali.

I compare the living former presidents and their post Oval Office lives, and see Jimmy Carter standing head and shoulders above the rest, not in terms of moneys accumulated, but in terms of using his prestige in efforts on behalf of world peace and humanity. Carter was born in 1924 - that makes him 89 years old, but just this month (April 9) I saw him on the Jon Stewart show being interviewed about the work the Carter Center has done and continues to do re health care in third world countries. At age 89!

Then I recalled that photo op in the Oval office, with then still President W, Obama and the living ex-presidents all in a row. Take a look at it. It was Bush-Sr.,Obama, Bush-Jr., and Clinton standing with their shoulders overlapping each others', and then a 6 inch gap of space between Clinton and Jimmy Carter. This is an historic photo. The photographer would have positioned W in the exact center. It looks like Clinton stepped away from Carter and jammed the others into each other. Was it to distance himself from Carter, or just his man-crush on W? Probably both. In any event, Jimmy Carter was our last president not to be corrupted and controlled by corporatism. A thoroughly decent human being - we haven't seen his like in the Oval Office since he left.
