Carter hints at support for Obama
The world waits...WASHINGTON - Former President Carter wouldn't quite say it, but he left little doubt this week about who he'd like to see in the White House next year. Speaking to local reporters Wednesday on a trip to Nigeria, the former Democratic president noted that Barack Obama had won his home state of Georgia and his hometown of Plains. And as Plains goes, so goes the Hookworm Belt... "My children and their spouses are pro-Obama. My grandchildren are also pro-Obama," he said at a press conference, according to the Nigerian newspaper This Day. "As a superdelegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for, but I leave you to make that guess." Thay all say he remahnds them o me. Except he's, ya know, cullid... Carter's spokeswoman confirmed the comments. Woah! Stand back boys!! Gimmee some room!!! Asked about Jimmy Carter indicating he would go for Obama, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson said: "Both Senator Clinton and President Clinton have a great deal of respect for President Carter and have enjoyed their relationship with him over the years. And, obviously, he is free to make whatever decision he thinks is appropriate with regard to the presidential choice." ...just as Senator Clinton is free to crush his ancient skull between her massive powerful thighs. Asked whether there was concern that Carter would be regarded as a "super-superdelegate" in the process, Wolfson said: "He is clearly a distinguished former leader of our party and is a superdelegate. And I'm sure that people will be interested in the choice that he makes. But no, nothing beyond that." Coming up next: Walter Mondale and Mike Dukakis announce their support for...somebody. Carter was in Nigeria for a ceremony celebrating a reduction in Guinea worm disease in West Africa. And Ah'll be at a Seven Eleven in Modesto tomorrow to dedicate a new Slushy machine to the oppressed people of the Gaza strip. Hope ta see ya all thayah... Posted by: tu3031 2008-04-03 |
