Jimmy Carter is unusual among American Christians, in that he actually practices the principles taught by Jesus, like peace-making, and helping the poor. So why do right-wing so-called “christians” revile him so much?
Even if he did “run from a rabbit” as the right-wing propaganda says, how many people died and how many billions of dollars were wasted as a result? Much better to start an unjustified war like Bush, right?
Check the web… the facts are: a rabbit being chased by hounds was swimming towards Carter’s canoe, and he shooed it away by splashing it with a paddle. Big deal. What would Cheney do, pull out a shotgun and shoot it? Maybe that’s the republican way of dealing with animals.The rabbit incident is just another example of republicans distorting the facts and making a mountain out of a molehill.
Carter = Department of EnergyTo reduce our dependency on foreign oil… Billions later, how is that working for us?
President Barack Obama unveiled on May 7 a $26.4 billion budget request for DOE for fiscal year (FY) 2010, including $2.3 billion for the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE).
Obama will forever “apologize” for things that he had nothing to do with (and for things that no president SHOULD apologize for), but when it comes to his own short-comings, he resorts to finger-pointing and buck-passing. He’s the most despicable individual to ever reside in the White House. He only gives people from other nations reasons to hate us more.
Contrary to the fevered fabrications fomented by Ms. Benson and the connies commenting above, the President’s “apology” is measured and thoughtful:I wish to express my deep regret for the reported incident. The error was inadvertent. I assure you that we will take appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding responsible those accountable.

Mittsy, Newtie and Sanctimony criticize the Prez only as an offering of red meat to the ill-tempered and ill-informed who lap it up.
What should Obama have said? That the trash detail shoulda whizzed on ’em before they burnt ’em?

Of course Republicans would criticize Obama for apologizing. Bullies never apologize.

Well said, Stephen. The right-wingers claim to be pro-life and opposed to government spending, but they prefer war to diplomacy.

It takes a brave gentleman to admit to wrongdoing – and we were wrong in burning the quoran.

Carter years = 22% interest ratesAlmost bankrupted the family business. Never did fully recover from that.
