#1 The real reason ...

Carter went to see a fortune teller. The fortune teller told him "You will die on a Jewish holiday!". Carter was in a panic, he replied "Which one, there are many Jewish holidays". The fortune teller told him "Any day that you die will be a Jewish holiday".

#2 Sounds like Jimmuh's looking for a new cash cow, given that his arab ones are more than a little lean these days.

#4 LBJ, Carter and Clinton. I learned all I need to know about Democrats from those guys. Unfortunately, now I have Obama to teach me things that I never even wanted to know.

#5 The Carter legacy:

On November 25, 1977, President Jimmy Carter hosted the shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and his wife, Empress Farah, at a sumptous state receptiono on the South Lawn of the White House. Despite thousands of Iranian students protesting outside the White House gates, denouncing the shah's human rights abuses and retrictions on personal freedom in the country of their birth, the president spoke warmly of his "close personal friendship" with the shah and called Iran "an island of stability" in the Middle East, reflecting on the personal and strategic ties between the two men and the nations they led.

#6 ...Skeptics say his sudden interest in bettering relations with the Jewish community comes as a result bf his grandson's running for public office in a community with a large Jewish population.

Um, good luck with that. I think (hope?) that the J-Street bunch may have learned a little from the past year....

this suck up might not change many minds
