My hope is that the Dems present President Carter and honor him for his term, remind us that if we had followed his energy policy we might be energy independent now, remind us of what a fine man he has shown himself to be after his presidency.....Obama needs to embrace the greatness of Carter, not fall for the Rovian ploy....Carter is a giant in my world.
