In his excellent recent article about the Clinton campaign, "The Long Defeat," in the New York Times (I think) David Brooks said in effect that the door is closing, and night is coming.

In today's excellent USA Today article, "Why the Democratic race could end in North Carolina," Susan Page provides statistics as follows: Pledged Delegates – Obama 1415, Clinton 1251, a difference of 164; total delegates available in all remaining state races are 666.

My analysis based on this data shows for Clinton to (just) catch up with Obama (not to defeat him, but just to catch up) she must defeat him on average by 24.6% in all remaining races!! For every state where Clinton's winning margin is less than 24.6%, her challenge becomes even greater!!

The door indeed is closing, and midnght in fact is very near.

I think Jimmy Carter is an honest and good person but he was a terrible President who had little experience, very poor judgment, and absolutely no ability to run anything so it doesn't surprised me he would support Obama. He never had the stomach necessary to make the really difficult decisions that a president has to make.

One thing that always sticks in my mind from the time he was elected is that I was speaking with a person at our office in the south and he said he was glad that Carter got elected. I asked if that meant he was a really good governor, the reply was "NO," but it will get him out of the state! I knew the country was in trouble then! Is Obama another Carter? I don't think so, I don't think Obama is honest or good hearted just a whole lot slicker!

A truly admirable and highly respected ex-president. The only truly outsider to be elected in the last 50-60 years. The "Beltway Boys" undermined him at every opportunity as he was the only one who refused to compromise his morals. This was the last REAL President.

Many posters here have called Pres. Carter one of the worst presidents in history. I cannot disagree strongly enough. I will admit that he may have been ineffectual as president, but that's because he is a decent man. To put Carter in the company of Filmore or Hoover is just plain ignorant. If you want to talk about "the worst president in history", one need look no farther than the current administration!

Carter is the worst american president – who cares what that dude says

Remember, Obama was at church when his pastor, Wright, made the comments. But he said he was not there. He lied! Why???? He will lose to McCain on november.

Carter was not a very good president, but he was a president nonetheless. This man is also very experienced, whether he did a good job in the White House or not. Hillary Clinton and all of her supporters make the claim that Obama has no experience (which is false, even though I will be the first to admit that he is not the most experienced candidate, John McCain is….), but yet these people who DO have experience are coming out one by one for Obama. There is just something about this man that turns these people on, just like Bill Richardson.

Thats very promising!!. OH. what the Clintons will eradicate him. ohHHH NOOOO> lol lol. Get over it Clinton. your just showing how selfish you are. but you love this country so much you will give it to Mccain just to spite your rival MR. Obama in. and i bet Mrs. Hillary will switch parties to be Mc Cains VP. now that would be a laugh.

Carter has never liked the Clintons. Bill Clinton got something Jimmy Carter never did — a second term.

It's no surprise that he's all but endorsing Obama. When it comes right down to it, who cares who Jimmy Carter endorses? He is soooo irrelevant to today's world.

Whatever you think of Mr. Carter's presidency, he is the finest human being to hold the office in my lifetime, including JFK, and his life and dignity after his term in office shows it.

It therefore means something when President Carter gives his endorsement.

It is also worthwhile to compare Jimmy Carter's style and dignity to that of Bill Clinton's wallowing in the mud to get his wife elected!

Lady in MN wake up the returns would prove that she and Bills' loyalties are for sale.

thanks Mr President
let ball rolling for sen. Obama

Thank u President Carter.

CHANGE2008…………This is for you. Just google "hillary's earmarks" and follow the links from there. I don't know if you will find itemized earmarks, but folks HILLARY RECEIVED SOMETHING LIKE $2.2BILLIONS SINCE 2002. EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT!!

Carter, Kerry, Kennedy — all elder superdelegates. Somehow it seems Bill belongs on this list. Could he already be planning his endorsement, maybe his people talking with the Obama people? It is the ultimate triangulation.

Oh, sorry, Carter hinted Wednesday.

Good president, great post-president. Cannot imagine he could endorse somebody guilty in launching Iraq war.

Obama 2008

IT IS SO GOOD TO KNOW THAT GOOD PEOPLE, ENDORSE GOOD PEOPLE. MS. CLINTON, STOP IN THE NAME OF GOD. IF YOU JUST BE YOURSELF,THEN YOU MAY HAVE NOT MADE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A GODESS. GOD BLESS YOU OBAMAH, GOD BLESS YOU MR CARTER.

Whether you consider Carter a "the worse president" (I would disagree, Hoover, Nixon, Eisenhower, and I'm sure many many more would agree the current one is top of that list), the fact is he has been a tremendous post-president and embodies the qualities that most former president's look to become. I don't care who he endorses, as I don't care who anyone else does. I just want this over and done with. Let the Democrats get their nominee.

This should be a Demcrats dream year (bad economy, war casulaties, oil companies making big bucks while people are losing their homes). Keep it up Dems and we will have Bush, part IV (the Mc Bush years)

Is it true Obama has threaten black superdelegates to side with him?

Great choice President Carter! Great choice. You know what Amercian needs.
Just come out now and make it open so that the Hillary will drop out of the race.
Good job President Carter. Clinton's families are known to be a big lier. How I wish Bill Clinton will respect himself and tell his wife to drop out of her race. Bill please respect yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To "Lady in MN"

Ignorance is apparently bliss for you. Climb on board the Obama train! We are very forgiving, accepting, EDUCATED and open minded people!

"Kool-aid drinking"…….. how appropriate.

It doesn't matter to me who's endorsing whom at this point. This election has left a very bad taste. Obama wins the nomination, I will not vote in the general election.

Well Done, Jimmy!! One step closer to gettting Obama nominated and forcing many middle of the road Democrats, like myself, to vote for McCain!

Ugh….looks like Bush's third term because there is NO WAY Mr. Obama gets this guy's vote. Wake Up people!!

when obama wins this nomination,even without winning this november election.I will come and live in America.Because it reinforces my sense that America is once again,the land of opportunities where small dreams can bring out the hero in yu.come on USA.Support obama

Cater knows that Obama cannot win in general election since Obama only won red states so far, he obviously want McCan to win the general election, he is doing that in a unspoken way.

President Jimmy Carter is a Mega-Delegate.

I am a HRC Supporter here in FL… But.
It is interesting to read these blogs as, faced with the inevitability of an Obama nomination, us the Clinton's supporters now have to blackmail with our votes and threaten that we will lose in November…

How about being positive and considering that if the Carters alike in the democratic party are wise enough to endorse one candidate,we can do the same and examine why and how we can still achieve victory in Nov. You know… Instead of fearmongering…
If he does win the nomination as it looks more and more to be headed towards now… Fair and Square… He deserves my vote and will get it this November.

Oh yeah, there is a great endorsement. I believe Carter may go down as one of our worst Presidents ever.

That's it – just figured out. He is throwing his support behind someone whom he figures can unseat him as the worst President ever.

Good Choice, Jimmy, the weak must stay together.

Why are Obama supporters asking Hillary to quit? Are you afraid that Obama might actually lose? She is only 1% behind Obama, WHY QUIT? Or you're asking her to quit because simply she's a woman? In 1988, Jesse Jackson took his hopeless campaign against winner Michael Dukakis all the way to the convention, often to great media praise. In 1980, Ted Kennedy carried his run against Jimmy Carter all the way to the convention, even though it was clear he had been routed. Even in 1960, Lyndon Johnson and Adlai Stevenson fought the "certain" nomination of John F. Kennedy all the way to the convention floor. HILLARY '08

Jimmy Who?

I think it will be interesting to see if people's opinins stay the same come the fall.

My current vote order is: Obama, McCain, Clinton. I hear a lot of people with that order and a lot of people say Clinton, McCain, Obama.

I wonder how many people will keep those orders when Clinton or Obama are out. It is a bit strange since Clinton and Obama seem to have such similar policies. Is it the heat of the campaign or other reasons for the vote orders? My issue is that I think Clinton divides too much of the country. We need healing locally and abroad after the last guy in office…

It feels like Obama has finally gotten to the top of the hill and is starting to pick up speed as he goes downhill. As the PA race tightens, I picture the Clinton team driving themselves crazy trying to decide what mud to throw at Obama over the next couple weeks. The latest poll (PPP) at pollster.com actually shows Obama leading in PA. Howard Wolfson is whipping up the troops – c'mon guys, let's find something that will stick…

Why do people think Carter was a terrible president? Is it because they thought that the world would be better if we kept the current dependencies on foriegn oil? Yeah that's really worked out! Carter was ahead of his time, his programs are still the route solution we need in this country. He makes his decisions based on wisdom not popularity, that same careful wisdom will be an endorsement for Obama.

Not an endorsement anyone would want. Obama may however turn out to be an even bigger pacifist than this tool his. This is what happens when you don't have a draft and oblige citizens to serve a greater cause than themselves. Entitled, self-righteous, mamby-pambys. The Ol'Hilly Billy will only give more reason to those on the fence not to vote for Barry-Barack- Hussein-Obama.

oh yeah, all those rich hillary supporters threatining with money, obama can raise it on his own. what a concept, actually having people who bieve in you donating small amounts across the board.

Wait till hillarys real fund raising numbers come in, she has
no money cause it all came from a small group of ultra wealthy people and its all been spent. Then there is obama crushing the numbers every month.

Hillary and her supporters need to to away

Where is Cheryl at. Once again, something good for Obama, and she is no where to be found. Change Cheryl

You know, if the attitudes I see on here of many of the Obama supporters is indicative of the kind of people he attracts, then I am really disappointed. Some of you posters act like a bunch of spoiled little whiney bratty kids. But then… I was a delegate to the SD-10 Senatorial convention here in Texas last Saturday, and I saw it all over the place there (with over 7600 delegates & alternates in attendance). It is really sad to see grown people act like such childish dimwits.

Now– it's Carter's priviledge to back whoever he chooses. Whether it's Obama or Clinton, it's his choice. That was pretty much what I read as being the response from the Clinton camp, too. End of story.

What change do you want. You think obama will bring in the change. I don't think so. He is only talk no substance. You will see that if he is elected. America elected bush for 8 years, thinking he would do something, yes the war he did, they are making another mistake for alteast another 4 years. People don't learn from their lessons!

All OBAMA and CLINTON supporters who are planning to vote for McCain if their candidate is not the nominee should have to explain this to the Soldiers in IRAK, the spouse, children and friends of those who died IRAK…

They should also have to give and explaination to those who WILL DIE in consequence of this IMATURE IMPULSIVE DECISION.

Wether you want it or not, you ll be partly responsable, and you ll be an acomplice to G.BUSH.

Obama is like the African American version of Carter. A push-over politician who can be persuaded easily by others.

I'm sure you will go with the winner Jimmy.

Barack Obama IS Jimmy Carter. Two very weak people who have no experience whatsoever. A Carter endorsement means nothing, since The Carter Presidency was the worst in modern history.
Obama's Presidency ( if, by a miracle, he is even elected) will make the Carter years look like the Kennedy years.

Excellent choice Mr.President,as Obama has the right judgemrnt from day 1,

Why are Americans even considering Senator Obama.
What am I missing?
Obama is just talk with no experience. He has a radical racial minister and is somewhat unpatriotic.
There is no way that Obama can win against McCain.
Maybe everyone on this blog is a Republican?

Endorsements don't mean anything to the Clinton campaign until they get one. I love how rules, significance and everything else changes when it comes to the Clintons. I, like many, have lost all respect for Senator Clinton and will have a hard time casting my vote for her in the general election.

I would love to see Senator Clinton and tell her a few things.

1. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
2. Bill Clinton would not be my husband.
3. Rocky lost!

With all due respect to President Carter and the other losing liberals who endorsed Obama (Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd, Leahy) Obama is going to go down in flames in a general election. I heard Tim Russert this morning suggest that Obama could peel off Virginia to get the magic 270 in a GE. Wishful thinking. Hillary does have a chance at peeling off Arkansas. Democrats need to start thinking pragmatically like Republicans, and for once, stop acting like spoiled, self-centered children. How can Obama unite and heal the country when he has bitterly divided the Democrats? Face it, the spark is gone and that's all he ever had to offer.

This will be just awesome once Carter makes it official.

This should wake you Clinton supporters and see that Obama is the person to back. Everybody is tired of the Clinton's lies and old crooked polotics. I am very happy that President Carter is backing Obama and I hope Gore and Edwards will follow.

Obama 08

Response to Lady in MN

1. Hillary's tax returns will give us an indication of where she got the 5 million dollars to loan to her campaign. Was it her personal funds or did in come from donators of the Clinton library, who are remain anonymous. As for the Wright controversy, 3 outrageous messages out of 1,140 traditional messages over a 20 year period hardly makes Obama seem like the monster the Hillary supporters try to make him out to be.

At 1 outrageous message per year, that would leave you with 17 years of traditional sermons, so I'm confused about the sitting in the church for 20 years comment.

2. Your stuck in tradition. If anything you should have realized by now is that Obama in re-writing how you win the presidency. Look at all the new voters nationwide that have been participating in the election process this year. And yes, a lot of it has to do with Obama. So while tradionally the presidency has depended on winning those states, this year Obama is forging a new path.

3. Whats not to like about Obama? If Hillary didn't have so much baggage, then I'm sure they would show her more love.

It's just one lousy President supporting what is sure to be another lousy President. Jimmy Carter is a great man now, but he was a terrible President, let's not forget that. Obama cannot beat John McCain and isn't that what it's about. I think it's kind of funny that Hillary is losing the Primary even though she would win the General. Obama won't carry FL, or OH, and he certainly can't turn VA blue, at least not in a Presidential election. I swore I'd vote for McCain if Obama were the nominee, but that's wrong….I will vote for Obama if I have to, but only, and I mean ONLY because of the Supreme Court Justices he'll be able to choose.

I feel that this man is the only preident that actually tried to bring God into the White House. In his efforts he was branded as having no backbone. Now he is the most respected leader in the world. I cannot remember in my 59 years any leader of our country that has earned the respect around the world as this man. It is my Godly feeling that Obama is from the tree. I think that we should take notice that Casey,
Richardson and Carter children voices were the reasons for their
decision. It follows God's word " OUT OF MY CHILDREN MOUTH
FLOWS THE TRUTH". We as adults tend to add what we want to justify our truth.

We welcome you Mr. President, the more people for America the better.

Yes We Can !!!!

Too all the Clinton supporters that claim they will vote for McCain, I ask you, what do Hillary and McCain have more in common than Hillary and Obama besides the color of their skin?

hopefully we will elect a dem either way, but i fear that Obama will be a one-termer just as the great Mr. Carter was… Remember that Billary was able to get things done even after losing congress in 1994 we need concencious not diviison.

Hillary 08

Everytime an important Superdelegate supports Obama, the Hillary people go nuts! Suddenly, the superdelegate, who was a perfectly reasonable person until yesterday, transforms into a monster.

Or a bad President. Or a traitor.

First it was Richardson, then Nancy Pelosi, and now Carter.

I wonder – what would these people be saying about these Superdelegates had they endorsed Hillary??

Well, I am sure they know the answer themselves.

Pathetic.

Obviously, Obama or Hillary will be the best choice for this country. it's these republican's with their trickle down economy that has gotten us into this mess. And Republican's, when McCain says that he will not raise your taxes, he is not speaking to those of you who is paying 25 to 35 percent, he means the riches American who is paying 10 percent. Unless he puts the tax question in the proper prospective, I suggest that you pay attention.

Go Obama 08.

Would all the Hillary supporters just register republican so we can move
on. I don't even want them in the democratic party anymore. Go away! You guys are like little cancers who don't respond to treatment.

Go vote mccain, we don't care anymore. Turns out you wack jobs are why we were losing elections to begin with all this time.

Its time for people who get it, to jump on board the obama train, republican or democrat.

Once again, psycho Hillary supporters are not invited.

I attribute this half endorsement to senility. Tomorrow he won't remember who he is for and who is Obama. Maybe he thinks that it is an Irish name as in O'Bama.

The Republic of Texas gets closer and closer. Go Hillary or McCain
Keeep America together.

You are very welcome to the movement. Thank you very much.

Didnt carter already say he was supporting John Mccain? I guess supporting Obama is the samthing.

OK now let's see the Clinton's spin this one. Goodbye Hillary, save some face so your re-election to the senate is not in jeopary!

Makes you wonder why he didn't just say he's supporting OBAMA. I think it's because he isn't. This is another CNN spin.

Carter was a great president ? Hillary 08

lady in mn, obama is a better human being than hillary. we need a great human being to repair our damaged state

Carter for O'Bama. Most O'Bama supporters will not remember the Carter years, Economic disaster! Stagflation. Mortgage rates 13-18% .
Who needs Carter on their side? With friends like that…..

Jimmy Carter is very much in tune to the needs of the World, and what the United States needs to be to be a responsible World citizen. Bush has countlessly shown that he is not a responsible World citizen. McCain is ready to maintain the misbehavior. Clinton is more in this for herself, not for the United States or the World. It is is time for a change, not just for the United States but also for how we interact with the World. Thank you Mr. Carter for being being such a wonderful advocate for peace and responsibility in the World.

The blogs have gotten so predictable. A super delegate comes out for someone. Those he sides with talk about what a great guy he is, how smart he is, etc. The other side just throws rocks at him. There were one or two exceptions, but that's the general gist of this one and all the previous ones. It would be nice to see someone give a thoughtful response sometime.
BTW – to all those Hillary supporters who castigated Richardson because he supported Obama when his home state supported Hillary, you got what you asked for on this one. Carter's going with the candidate his state supported. I don't think you have grounds for complaint.

Carter has always had the courage of his conviction. I respect that.
His efforts for Habitat for Humanity speak for themselves. If he supports Obama, that's good enough for this liberal.

Any Democrat in 2008!

Thank you President Jimmy Carter,
I really believe in my heart that OBAMA can and will change our
nation for the better. I just wish we could deport the clintons and
so our country could have a FRESH NEW START…….

AMEN

So…Obama will still lose the general election and be remembered as John Kerry is in 4 years.

WHO CARES ABOUT HIM? WE LOVE THE CLINTONS! WE LOVE HILLARY!!

I think Carter's support of Obama very much goes along with his philosophy. Along the same vein…I don't understand how Hil continues to insist that she has a greater chance of winning than Obama–especially since every Republican I know wants her to win the nomination in order to up McCain's chances of winning in November.

Jose the repercussions are that the legal people have voted…….so what the problem……..intelligence comes in all forms ……even if you and your people don't understand it……….but really what do you guys understand……..exploiting the system and then being to good for your own

I respect former President Jimmy Carter. He was a good man & a much better Pres than the one we have now. However, he wasn't the strongest President and I am not sure his endorsement is a good thing for Obama since I have heard sooo many Dems say "Obama is gonna be another Jimmy Carter"…meaning he lacks experience and the "fighting" strength to stand tough and get things done.

Lady in MN…

I will not dignify your questions with answers. Grow up.

I think Jimmy Carter is one of our most underestimated Presidents. Hopefully time will prove me right.

Anyone with half a brain, and a heart for America would support Obama.

Thanks, Mr. Carter

Jimmy Carter is a great American, and he's made a great choice for President.

To all angry and emotional Clinton supporters, if you are going to be mad at anyone, if infact your candidate looses, pls point your frustrations at your candidate. She and only she is to blame for her current predicament. Not the media or anyone else for that matter. She had everything, the Clinton name, the financial resources, the establishement and she didnt use it to her advantage. Simple as that. Facts are facts….. Think it thru… In my opinion she failed the commander in chief test.

It takes one to know one.

If, big if, Obama should win in Nivember are we ready to go to Africa with our troops? Maybe that is why he wants them out of Iraq. I am also not ready for reparations to become a topic again. Carter is a good man and I respect his out of office efforts. I also hope the people of America will vote for the best person to serve this great nation. I don't believe that person is Obama.

Yet another from the "because he's a black man and was oppressed"
club. Watch them force the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to
allow Rev Wright to administer the oath of office.
Hillary's TOO LEGIT to QUIT!

This is why Carter was a one term President. He never did show very good judgement.

I was waiting for the second half of Wolfson's comment: "Carter is a great president, we really respect whatever choice he makes, but after all, he is just a cranky old souther president who capitalized on the peanut industry to take advantage of the working Americans Hillary Clinton will do everything possible to save!"

Hillary, Greatest lose in a race is not losing but accepting the lose.

No way Obama is winning in November. Me and all of my friends are going to vote for McCain if Obama steals the election from Hillary

President Carter is a great humanitarian. He has done more for the poor, unselfishly, then any other past president. It is a good endorsement for Obama.

May you live long Papa; only Obama can unite, not only the Dems, but Americans as a whole.

Justin,

Obama leads by 700,000+ popular votes……………

Blah blah blah.

NObama sucks. Hes an ex drug addict, who hates white people and America. The only reason he is in the position he is in is because hes BLACK. Thats all. A white man with his credentials would have been laughed off the stage months ago.

I am ASHAMED to be a DEMOCRAT. This is enough to make me consider switching party's.

GO CLINTON! GO MCCAIN..anyone but OBAMA.

Who cares what this wheezy old fossil thinks? Besides, if you consider the phrase "it takes one to know one", why would anyone listen to him opine on who the best President would be? He's not qualified to judge!

no surprize another lose backs obama

Jimmy is WISE!

I remember the Carter years. And you think its bad now?!
Obamas agenda and policy postition is worse than his.
Carter is still a flake.
Obama will give some money to Hillary to pay her debts for the trade off of getting out.
have you noticed the gas prices since the dems took over the congress.??? Be pared. This is nothing compared to what it will be.
Did you see what Obama promised WY for the Supers vote?
Neither one of those ultra liberals should win the GE. If they did I don't want to hear any whining when they start picking your pocket.
McCain 08

I laugh at the fools who think Carter was the worst president ever. I can think of another who best fits that description. Oh, and Obama will lose the White House if he is nominated.

Seems fitting, if elected, Obama will have a failed democratic presidency just like Carter………Anyone realize the ONLY successful DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENCY in the last several DECADES has been BILL CLINTONS????? Far left liberals cannot survive the republicans…..Clintons can…..proven in polls today….

The Dems will all be wondering what happened after Obama and his crew take all your money to "give you" everything they think you need. Just imagine, the government will provide all the alcohol, drugs and hookers you want after ultra-liberals get into power. Make your long lists of wants now and give them to Obama and you'll probably get it all for Kwanzi but the disappointment will be that you will be poorer, not the rich will be poorer.

Another big name Democrat is backing Obama? No news here; no one with any decent reputation wants to align themselves with the lies, secrecy and division that has become the Clinton campaign.

Way to go President Carter!!! Please do the actual endorsement soon. Sen. Obama will be honoured to have your endorsement I'm sure.

JUSTIN: This is for you. I don't know how the other supporters feel, but, I don't think you can really say that the VOTERS matter to Sen. Clinton, for crying out loud, don't you know an insult when you hear one.

THE VOTERS MATTER SO MUCH TO SEN.CLINTON THAT SHE IS WILLING TO BOWL FOR PA's VOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ISN'T THAT AN INSULT TO THE VOTERS?

Listen to the wise men like Jimmy and you will not go wrong.
The likes of Lisa, Emma, DF, Charlotte … i have nothing but sympathy for you. Been Buritto you are just that… a bean boritto.

See you all at Obama's innauguration!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Unbelievably good news!

Something a lot of people don't know is that there was a book printed
year's ago somewhere in Europe that said that the only 2 American
President's that never cheated on there wive's were Jimmy Carter
and Harry S Truman.

One things for sure the dems can't win with just Obama…she has about 50% of the party so he cannot run without her….

I adore Carter, but if he backs Obama – a non vetted questionable candidate – then he loses my respect, big time.

I have always thought that President Carter was a kind, thoughtful person, as well as a good president. I'm surprised that he endorsed Obama. I would wish to see him say why Obama would be a healing factor in this country.
If the healing factor is that african americans will now have a representative as president for the first time, well then I agree with him on that.
However, where else is he a healing factor?
I can see how minority people around the world would be happy to see the most powerful country in the world have a minority president. That also is a good thing.
What about race would be a unifying force if Obama is elected president? I don't see that.
Obama is still receiving great support from the powers that be and want to remain the same such as oil companies, lobby people, and people who have endorsed Obama, most of them are not for the the kind of future that Obama is vaguely saying with his hope for the future rhetoric.
I'm voting for Hillary myself. I care about the racial problems in this country and around the world just like people who vote for Obama say they do. I just believe that Hillary is the ticket for change and progress for people like me and people of color and the average american. I do not see this even close as clearly in Obama's stance, actions, or talk.

Bean Burrito,

I am sure the Carter Foundation is dependent on your donations………that is absurd and ignorant!

YOU can't stop him!

I love it!!!

President OBAMA!!!!

Oh snap and double-snap! President Carter. It just keeps getting better for Obama! God bless you Jimmy, and thank you for supporting Barack Obama. With your help Obama will win, yes we can! Now, let's see some more Obama love on the blogs, the victory party has started.

Then I guess Carter and the Rev. Wright can join forces in their anti-Israel diatribes.

Carter has not endorsed Obama yet. Calm Down.

Lady in MN: i am appalled that you continue to think that having Wright is a pastor is as damagin as in what will be in the Clintons Tax Returns. Shoddy arguement, sounds as if you are grasping at straws to plead the case for Hillary.

The Obama superdelegate machine is ringing off the hook while the Clinton machine is collecting dust. Prediction: 3 weeks and Obama leads Clinton in superdelegates.

It is amazing to see the power grip the Clintons have on the democrats. Most delegates are afraid to go to the other side without risking their reputation been soiled. Am sure Bill Clinton is also considering switching sides but he wount have a place to stay.

MoveOn.org…..Jane Fonda and now Hamas' favorite Georgian Jimmy Carter.All those Republicans are literally trampling each other to join them on the Obamawagon. Rightttttttttttttttttttt

I hope that Hillary does not ask her supporters to back up Obama, because that is one thing I could not do. I know HIllary's love is politics and it has been her life, but after the huge snub she has gotten from the democratic party I hope she considers dropping them. She could become an Indpenedent or even do something else other than politices. She is a brilliant woman and she could do just about anything. If she does not get to be the nominee, I would definitely vote for McCain. I will not just stay home, I will cast my vote.

Carter and all the rest who think Obama will draw us to his side are very, very mistaken. Obama cannot fool everybody. The general election will prove that. To bad though, because Hillary would make a "great President".

It is sad that so many of Sen. Clinton's supporters are just like her and her husband: meanspirited, divisive bullies. All they care about is winning. President Carter cares about the future of all people. Both he and Sen. Obama understand that all of us must live together on this planet. Both of them have showed amazing grace under pressure. We would all be wise to follow their lead.

"Responding to the comments, Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said Thursday, "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 presidential choice.""

In other words, the Clintons already had Carter in the Obama column.

Who cares what he thinks? He does a wonderful job with communtiy service, let him keeps his inept political views to himself.

"All I hear you whine right now is “What about her tax returns”….”where are her tax returns. Its a fair point, but please explain to me what could be possibly near as damaging in them, as compared to having Wright as your pastor (not pasture Obamabot) for 20 years"

According to Senate disclosure documents, Hillary made 12 Million dollars last year, on a $150,000 sentator's salary. Bill made 20 Million. We do not know WHERE this money came from as the Senate only requires disclosure of amounts, not sources.

Obama made 1.5 million, mostly from book royalties. He has disclosed his tax returns.

Many people want to know how Bill and Hillary are raking in tens of millions of dollars. Bill is getting a LOT of money from overseas (Arab world, China, etc.)

Of course, this would NOT influence Hillary in any way, right?

Right?

I'm a supperdelegate. What's for dinner?

Your Turn James Carville!!!

Tell Hillary That It's Over!!!!!

Let's see you try and get tough with The Pres!!!

One last time. How many of you who keep bringing up Wright have read to the whole sermon? Not too many I bet. A lot of people I have talked to said the while his choice of words was wrong he was only telling the truth. That is one thing many Americans have trouble dealing with. The truth. Or should I say they are more interested in being politically correct. Oh, for the record, my friends and I are white. Not all are behind Obama yet, but not because of the rev.

He has won more states, more delegates and more popular votes and now he is catching up on her on Superdelegates count. Its about time for the us to unite and support the people's choice and prevent Bush's thrid term on the form of McBush.

As an outsider to the United States I have found the debate quite interesting the that wages in during this primary contest. No matter what you will say about either candidate it has definitely re-energized the interest in American politics which is a good thing. And I think that it is natural for the American people to desire change after 20 some years of the same names on the election ballots. I notice that Obama has taken alot of critique for his lack of "experience" but no one seems to acknowledge that the presidency is an amalgam of several key advisors, cabinet members, etc. not just one person. And on HRC's experience, what experience does she have? Does this mean that Barbara Bush could enter a presidental contest because she was the former first lady? I understand HRC is a senator but she really hasn't performed that function for long and it's pretty obvious that she was catipulted into that district for a "sure win". But lastly, how come no one talks about "Whitewater scandral" that should really be the nail in her coffin….

I'm almost convinced Obama might be the ticket. Last week I was a Hillary supporter. I'll know for sure by the 22nd.

I wonder if President Clinton will blow up at him like he did Bill Richardson for supporting Obama?

Game over. Gore's next.

What does it matter, you ask?? Listen to the voters, you say?? Well, it matters a lot. Otherwise, Bill would not be in California blowing a gasket over Bill Richardson's support for Obama. And he (Richardson) is not even a past president with the clout that President Carter has. And yes, it is a single vote. A single SUPER DELEGATE vote. So it does matter and it does count. It counts for a lot.

Say Buh Bye Hill and Bill.

BTW, the tax returns count because of what they would reveal. And right now, they reveal another failed promise.

Great……President Jimmy Carter….the last former president who was honest and loyal to his family and country.

That speaks volume… period….

no matter what kind of president carter was, the true point is only…..

carter=superdelegate

ask the clinton's if the care about any endorsements at this time – it's not about the endorsement – its about the vote

he's gaining them and she's not….

Just hurry and come out with your Endorsement you weirdo, before you forget that you ever had to make and endorsement ya OLD GUY

Way to go Mr. Carter, keep up the good work that you have accomplished throughout world.
Obama, 08

Time for Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton to follwo Carter's footsteps and endorse Obama!

I wish no one would make endorsements until the last vote has been cast. It is about who can wear down a delegate more. Obama is relentless which is something the Clintons have not been.
These endorsements are from many whom have failed miserably at their own bid for the Presidency. Dodd, Richardson, Kerry and Kennedy to mention a few.
Tom Daschle, the former sitting minority leader lost his own re-election which is unheard of. I can see a new political career for some if Obama wins.

JUST LOST ANY RESPECT I HAD FOR CARTER, CARTER IS ALSO A ISRAEL HATER, HIM AN OBAMA WILL MAKE A GOOD PAIRING

Boy, wait till he gets his 3:00 AM phone call from Hillary.

She'll tear him a new one!

Just ask Richardson…..

If you look back at the Carter administration, you'll see how he tried to reach across the isle to the Republicans to bring about change. It is fitting that he would endorse Obama. Thank you President Carter.

Obama is a GODSEND!

LadyinMN….you need to wake up, stop hanging on to the Clintons cause they don't care about you or the American people….they are in this thing for themselves….Hillary is like that lady in the bible who lied that the other woman's baby was hers and King Solomon said he would cut the baby in 1/2 for them both…let's change baby to nomination, Hillary would be the lady that says, cut the nomination in 1/2, I wan't my 1/2 no matter how it destroys the party, but Obama would say, no don't cut the nomination in 1/2 give her the full thing so that the party won't be destroyed!

OBAMA '08

Yet another brainwashed super delegate.

President Carter is almost correct . According to me though, making a truce with Osama, will remove ALL the animosity USA had developed with other nations.
Well President Carter's like many more's default and defacto choice of Senator Obama "for that reason" should not go in vain. Thanks.

That is great!!!

By the way, aren't we still waiting for Hillary to release her tax filings? What's the problem, Ms. Clinton?

If, by some miracle, that Hillary gets elected, I am wondering if she will cut education spending as her first act as president? She polls so well among people that lack college educations, such a move could help her hold on to power.

THE REASON THAT HILLARY LEADS OBAMA WITH WHITES IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT HE DISLIKES WHITE PEOPLE!!!!!!!

EVIDENT BY HIS AND HIS WIFES COMMENTS!!!!!!!

AND HIS LAST 20 YEARS IN WRIGHTS CHURCH!!!!!!!

Now..i can see the heavens open, celestial choir singing "Slap in your face, Hillary".

Wonder how negative and silly Hillarys' supporters are going to get.

Hillary quit amusing us, you know you can't win and so do your supporters. The right thing to do, is to carry the person who is going to win. Hillarys supporters who are genuinely care about the country should vote for Obama in Pennsylvania.

Obama 08

Us dems need to stop fighting. I hope that Hillary backers wont vote for McCain in this election, that would be treason. Just because u dont get the person you want doesnt mean u should ruin it for everyone else. They basically are saying the same things, its just the package it comes in thats making the slight difference. I dont care about pastors or Bosnian headshots or 3am nonesense. I do care about healthhcare, the national debt and the deflating dollar. John McCain has done nothing to inspire me on those fronts whatsoever.. The best way to ruin these arab oil countries in an effort to change leadership is to stop using OIL as much. The president that pushes that agenda will indear the public as well as strike back at these radical people in there strongest spot!! In their pocket!

Poor choice for the ex-pres. You would think that he would not go with the stream but with his conscience. I hope he stays out of it and not let his name be tarnished.

Now..i can see the heavens open, celestial choir singing "Slap in your face, Hillary".

Wonder how negative and silly Hillarys' supporters are going to get.

Hillary quit amusing us, you know you can't win and so do your supporters. The right thing to do, is to carry the person who is going to win. Hillarys supporters who are genuinely care about the country should vote for Obama in Pennsylvania.

THANKS MR. CARTER FOR LISTENING TO YOUR PEOPLE!!

AND THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OBAMA!! ALL OF YOU

SAYING THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT MCCAIN IF HILLARY DOESN'T

GET THE NOMINATION? OBVIOUSL YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT

THIS COUNTRY OR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!! STOP BEING

SELFISH AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT!! YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL

WITH US ECONOMICALLY FACING A RECESSION DUE TO

REPUBLICAN RULE, WE DO NOT NEED TO KEEP TROOPS IN IRAQ

FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS! DO YOU KNOW THAT IT COSTS US

MILLIONS PER DAY TO BE IN IRAQ?? DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR

THE COUNTRY!!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!! '08

An endorsement from a mediocre past president is always good news. The smart voters reduced their donations to Obama by 20% and Hillary is winning the upcoming races. Way to go Bama! 20% know you better now.

respectully one of our worst presidents ever…

It's nice to hear former politicians keep supporting Obama.

I guess they don't care what the Clinton lobbyists have to say.

OBAMA = BAD DECISIONS, RACISM,DISENFRANCHISEMENT!

HE IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THE ANIMOSITY BETWEEN THESE TWO CAMPS!

HILLARY'S PEOPLE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM!

I SURE WONT!

THIS WAY I CAN SAY DON'T BLAME ME!

I AM POSITIVE OBAMA WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE KARL ROVE IS CIRCLING LIKE A VULTURE!!!!

THE GOP WILL RUIN HIM!!!!!!

VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!

Time for another 'The Sky is Falling" press conference from the Clintons and their thug staff including fatboy Penn.

Been Burrito keep your $2 I'm sure Carter won't miss it . Besides, you will need it by time McCain and Hillary get done finishing off the Bush disaster. Lisa, have you been watching the polls? I guess not, because it shows that Hillary has a 64% chance of losing to McCain to Obama 22%. So really it would be a much sadder day for America if Hillary when the nominee. They will squash her. Now, Obama on the other hand is and has been fighting the Clinton machine and McCain. Wow, Obama you are bad man, it take all three to take you down and they still can't overcome you. Why? Because you have someone on your side that is far GREATER than mankind and that person is JESUS. I quote, "IF GOD BE FOR YOU THAN WHO OR WHAT CAN STAND AGAINST YOU!"

Give it up guys who can stand up against GOD!! His will will be done.

I may consider voting for S. Obama after he cleans up his church!!!

Obama can not win in November even if God himself endorsed him. If Clinton does not get the nomination, Mccain will be our next president and you can count on it.

A man of integrity supports another man of integrity. What's this world ocming to?

Burrito, don't worry the 1.3 million donors to the Obama campaign will make up the difference for your lost contribution to Carter's charities. Seems you didn't care about the beneficiaries of those causes anyway if you're willing to abandon them just to "punsh" Carter for not voting the way you want him to. How immature.

I just can't understand why some of you think that Hillary can win agianst McCain instead of Obama. The bottom line is this. If she can't win against Obama what makes you think that she can win against McCain. Those of you who have desided to vote for McCain if Obama wins are just a bunch of cry babies/ born losers.

The will of the people. I am also a part of the people, and my will-wish is not Obama.
Can Obamistas stop acting like he is only one in the world to be considered for a president? Can they stop forcing others, and calling other people names because they are not for their idol?

It is not given, it is not mandatory, it is not written in stars that Obama is the one. He is not. He has way too many flaws. As of now I do not think any of those 3 is the one. We need someone else. Someone who is not racist at all, someone who has the wisdom, the smartness, the intelligence, the experience, the power and ability to lead well.

Doesn't matter….I'm sure Clinton will inform us that Carter isn't one of the 'important' superdelegates.

Grif,

Have you followed Jimmy Carter over the years? He has not failed! He is one of the most caring human beings on this earth………What the hell is wrong with you Clinton supporters? Jimmy Carter is irrelevent right? Give me a break! He and his family do enormous good for this entire world………….

The other thing some people keep forgetting is that Obama was more than 30 points behind Billary just a few months ago. Billary thought this thing would be over after Super Tuesday. They are as shell shocked as are their supporters! And the truth is Hillary wouldn't have made this far in this nomination process if it were not for Bill. I mean 90% of all her supporters said they would have voted for Bill if he were a candidate. Hilary said you dont choose your fmaily but you can choose your paster. Now, why did she decide to stick with Bill despite all his womanizing? Why? I think we know the answer-her political ambitions. America Hillary's out to fulfill her own selfish ambitions! She doesnt fathom that fierce urgency of now as does Obama! Oh! Obama has buid himself from zero . I am proud of this guy and I am sure many Americans are!

I have always stood up for Jimmy Carter for years no matter what people said, I no longer have respect for him, Jimmy are you sure.

I'm a Democrat, but if Hillary loses to Obama, I'm voting for McCain!

Oh please don't let one of my greatest American heroes, one of the role models I set up for my children, come out now and use his influence to sway voters towards a nominee that is such a masterful politician in the tactics of division and exploiting fears of scarcity. Please let Jimmy Carter continue to deliberate on his vote.

Perhaps now Hillary will be able to read the writing on the wall. It's over, Mrs. Clinton. No more crocodile tears, please. Just pack up your tent and go home.

Obama 08 for President of the United State, go home hillary

One more world view politician drinks from the Kool Aid of Obama.
This peanut farmer is as Niave as the candidate he is leaning towards. The Islamic World doesn't give a crap about Americans and Freedom for their people. They want to enslave us all under the umbrella of Islam. Wake Up America. Thank God we still have guns in our homes. This is what the founding fathers were worrried about when they put in the 2nd amendment to the constitution.

what a surprise!!! Birds of a feather, flock together! The worst President of the 20th Century and now the worst candidate (and possible President) of the 21st Century. Keep racking up those past winners there Obama.

Go Hillary in 2008

Who cares, Carter was the worst President we ever had. No one
respects his opinion. Then same is going to be for Obama.

Robert Bauer is incorrect – superdelegates are not obliged to 'represent the will of the people', but to decide who is the more electable of the candidates. And this year, it isn't a man.

Lady in MN

1) You ARE aware Hillary ran her WHOLE senate campaign in NY asking for Rick Lazio's tax returns ? LOL .. NO? I didn't think so .

Wright .. yeah as opposed to the endless clips of Hillary lying about Bosnia .. lmao At least it was his PASTOR who said crazy things, not the actual candidate as with Hillary .

You have no idea who will win what in NOV. Polls in April don't mean much for an election in NOV .

Such Anger ! You belong with Hillary .. the screaming bipolar candidate .. lol

Another clarification to us all of the U.S. socialist's movement reach into the Democratic Party of America today.

Jimmy Carter is a great humanitarian–but his viewpoint of government as a social services and welfare entity is wrong.

The taxpaying citizens should not be mandated to bear the burden of idiotic and extraordinary increases in entitlements and financial bail outs. Where's their voice?

Conservatives of all stripes–need to make their presence known.

another great endorsement from another great president.

Obama 08

If Hillary somehow pulls off the democratic nomination, it will ruin the chances of any woman becoming president of the U.S. for years to come. I would love to have a woman president, but she has to be principled, trustworthy and ethical. Hillary is none of these things. I am ashamed of the states and delegates she has won because it speaks of the intelligence or lack thereof of our nation.

Barack Obama is the most intelligent, ethical and principled person (black or white, man or woman) who has run for the presidency that I have ever seen or heard about in the last 50 years.

McCain is a military hero. That is all he is and all he will ever be–unless, of course, Hillary supporters decide that if she doesn't get the dem nomination, than they will vote for McCain. If anyone switches from supporting Hillary to voting for McCain, you should be ashamed of yourself and move to a country more befitting your mentality like North Korea.

Obama/Carter: Liberal twin powers, activate!
Obama: Form of… higher taxes!
Carter: Form of… malaise

Obama/Carter: Liberal twin powers, activate!
Obama: Form of… higher taxes!
Carer: Form of… malaise

well, that souds for me, that Out taxes will go sky high, just like, when Mr.Carter was OUR President. Is this, why We Americans need, just wait, and You will see what happend. All those people who are supporting Obama, are for HI Taxes",, I can bet ON THIS!!!
16% intrested on loans when Mr. Carter was Our President??? , will be just start!!!. Obama is the most liberal , as I ever seen, remines me Comunist time in Eastern Europe, Is that ,what We want!!!??? Wake up Americans!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news!!!! Obama 08. You are all childish. All you people on both sides saying that you will take your ball and go home if your person is not selected, need to grow up. You obviously haven't been paying attention to the record voter registrations this year. You will easily be replaced and not missed. So take the two friends that agree with you and don't let the door hit you. The party will be united with ir without you.

Jimmy Carter was one of this country's best presidents. Some people make fun of him but he accurately predicted what would happen to this country if it didn't start investing in alternative energy sources. Reagan came in and systematically dismantled every tax incentive Carter created to do just that. No president since has made energy any kind of priority except for using the military to protect overseas investments.

People would do well to listen to Carter. He is an intelligent man.

another nobel prize winner on Obama's side

things are looking up for him.

Question for hillarybots

1) how can she unite the country when she can't even unite her party to stand with her?

Contrary to what a few closet republicans have said… this may rank as the most telling endorsement to date. In my opinion it trumps any potential endorsement by Edwards or Gore.
This is a man who has carried the party banner at home and abroad. This is a man who, by his deeds, is the definition of the democratic party.
A brilliant man committed to peace, diplomacy, statesmanship and good will at home and abroad has weighed in, and it sounds like he favors the young and inexperienced phenom from Illinois.
I am looking forward to hearing more about this endorsement.

Bless You JIMMY!

he was a terrible president

Ha! That would be the kiss of death to Obama's campaign.

Lady in MN, your obviously a Hilary supporter. No offense but she doesnt remember not getting shot at while on a political trip over seas. All the candidates have dirty laundry. Im a democrat and will support the nominee regardless but lets be fair the math is the math and a lie is a lie.

WAKE UP LADY IN MN!!!!

YES! Thank you, President Carter. The domino effect of the Super-Delegates supporting Barack Obama is beginning …

Obama will bring back respect for our country. All you nuts that says they'll vote for MCBush if Obama is selected is sad. I guess you want us to go ahead & fall into depression & having every country in the world coming after us. Because of Bush & his buddy's leadership we're toast to the rest of the world and MCBush continue our downfall. Thank you Pres.Carter for all your hard work & help thru out the world. The perfect example of a true Christian

That's it for me. When Carter speaks I listen. Hillary has my vote for sure. I am old enough to remember the Carter years. And I sure don't want to go back to that period.

Who is Jimmy Carter, and who cares what he thinks or whom he endorses. His endorsement should be something to shy away from.

I'm a Obama supporter and you have to face it. HIllary has given him a run.. however, if he can overcome Hillary, he will be ready for November. Hillary is good for this campaign for those who keep saying we don't know him enough. The more Hillary tries to show his vulnerability, he exhibits his strength and Hillary on the other hand exposes who she really is….

So it seems like he's suggesting there's no reason to back Hillary over Obama: come on sheepies, listen to the man!

Jimmy carter i thought you were different but youre not and i hope that when the real barack obama comes out all the judas that turn on hillary will be laughing all the way to the white house with Mccain!!!!!!

Jimmy Carter a vicious backstabber, too? Say it isn't so! After that lovely fruit basket Bill and Hillary sent him for Christmas? What is wrong with these people!?

Now here is a politician you can be proud of!
The people of his STATE support Omama and so does Carter.
Nothing wrong with that picture.
I on the other hand have changed from Dem to unenrolled, TODAY!
As the Dem's here in MA are not who I want to support ever again!

OK BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!

SENATOR CLINTON LEADS IN THE POLLS!!!!!!!!

Why not, hell everyone else has.
Bill Richardson who turned his back on his own state's wishes to
back Obama, Hillery wone New Mexico and Carter, although a nice
and very careing man, one of the worst president's we ever had, I voted for him because he was a democrat, now I vote for the best
thing for the country and that's certainly not Barrack Obama,
oh, by the way, I heard his wife Michell speak last night, really
baaaaaaaaaad.

Say it ain't so Jimmy! If Obama is the nominee then the Republicans won't need an October surprise to defeat him (and America) like they did with you in 1980. Why support a candidate who is guaranteed to lose in November?

For Your Information:

It is former or ex president Cinton and
former or ex president Carter….
They are no longer a president and should not be addressed as president.
Thank you. Gwen

Obama stands for change- its just that nobody knows what the hell he means by that! We had change with Bush and see what that got us! Clinton wants sweeping change too- so what is different? She has more enemies because her change is more sweeping than the change Obama suggests. His change is so middle of the road. He is trying to placate everyone. This race is over as far as the super delegates are concerned. They can't wait to support Obama due to his bringing so many new voters into the process. That is great except that we are doomed to a Tepid, mediocre president for another 4 years. Oh, I am sure he will either bring the white and blacks together- either that or they will kill each other.

Both of these candidates are being stripped raw by each other (in equal quantity) and the media (licking Obama's wounds and throwing salt on Clinton's). Since the emerging pattern is deception from both groups I think John McCain is going to have a very easy time of it. Especially because the media's venom (and it will be spit in the eyes of McCain again and again) is beginning to lose it's strength due to obvious manipulation of the facts during this riveting soap opera of a Democratic meltdown. Thanks Jimmy, for rendering the whole thing even stranger with your coy little interview!

I just read all of the comments from the Obamazombies. God, I dispise you people. You are one of the reasons I will NEVER support that EGO in a suit (Obama.) For 30 years, I have always supported democrats, even when I had to hold my nose in the voting booth. Not going to happen this time. I dispise Obama for being a do nothing, empty suit who is running on nothing but hubris. I dispise ALL of his supporters for just being idiots.

So, if I understand this correctly:
1. HRC's supporters are the only "true" Democrats, but
2. They're still willing to call a Democratic former president, and great humanitarian, the "worst president ever" whose opinion means nothing?

Enjoy your 100 years in Iraq and wise judges like Roberts and Alito, folks, because if you really do throw your vote in with McCain if/when HRC doesn't win the nomination, you can only thank yourselves.

Incidentally, if Obama supporters are supposed to be so unintelligent, why is it that the worst spelling and grammar comes from the posts of Clinton supporters?

He has accomplished so much more after he left the Presidency . Not the best president but a wonderful very intelligent human being .

Say what you will about Carter's term in office, but he is a visonary (particularly as a white Southernor who grew up during Jim Crow,) a man of principle, and truly great American.

I'm proud that he, like my state, appears poised to choose CHANGE over nostalgia, UNITY over partisanship, and HOPE over fear.

By the way – take some notes on how to be a noble, dignified ex-President, Slick Willy.

Im not crazy about McCain,but if Obama is nominated i will go to the Republican side!Been a Democrat all my life.But a man that listened toWright does not to be our Prisident.

President Clinton's stature has risen constantly since his years in the White House. His honesty and character are above reproach.

Neither our current Prez George nor his predecessor Bill will be so fortunate. Both have disgraced the office of the Presidency and betrayed the American people. History will be hard on both. Bill continues to disgrace himself through his rhetoric and actions campaigning for his wife. Neither or honest and neither have a character.

President Carter will be another super delegate to endorse Obama and others will follow.

Another reason not to vote for Obama, he has the backing of the worst president in U.S. history. If you think our economy is bad now, I seem to remember double digit inflation, sky high interest rates, oil shortages and very high unemployment during the Carter administration. Not something I would like to repeat.

Go! Go! Go!

He is too old to see somebody clear! God bless American!

Why doesn't he just say he supports Obama? Every politician on earth can endorse Obama if they want. It still won't mean much to Americans like me who see little strength and substance behind his facade.

Carter was the worst president of the 20th century…waffling, weak, uninformed, hateful of the military. He is not the type of endorsement that Obama needs.

Why has Pres. Carter not fought for the voters in Florida & Michigan? Perhaps he has, and I have just not heard. If Obama had won in Florida & Michigan, I can only imagine the response to disenfranchising the voters. Obama had a wonderful chance to be about true hope & make sure that Michigan & Florida were able to revote. Instead he supported rules that took away voters' rights and endangered our ability to win in Florida & Michigan in the general election. He was also not truthful about the Wright situation. This was a terrible lack of judgment & will harm Democrats in the election. It is a disgrace that the DNC & Senator Obama do not allow millions of voter to be heard. Rules that throw out voters who did nothing but try to make their voices be heard will kill us in the general election.

Matt how can you say Obama if obama steals the vote, Last time I checked he is leading in states won, delegate count, and the popular, get your facts straight.

I have always respected Carter as a humanitarian and a person who "gets the big picture." He is a devout Christian and I'm pleased that he hasn't denounced Obama's pastor like so many other supposed Christians. What a wonderful endorsement for Obama. I'm so happy to see the tide turning toward earnest leadership and clear thinking.

Its funny all this time I THOUGHT he already had endorsed Obama???

Apparantly you guys are great at including distorted headlines.

Bravo!!

I wonder who Eugene Mccarthy would endorse if he was alive?? HMMMMM.

If superdelegates were supposed to represent the will of the people then Richardson and Kennedy would be supporting Hillary – she won their states! lol

Oh great,the worst President in history is backing Obama & his supporters think that's good news.It will be a mere footnote to McCain's inauguration.

When you need to rely on grand conspiracy theories such as universal media bias to make your candidate "viable" … you've already lost.

This will be a huge enorsement from our most respected former President. I so admire Jimmy Carter and hold his opinion in the hightest regard. American would do well to follow his example of humility, humanity, and diplomacy. I see some of those qualities in Obama too.

People who think for themselves are not influenced by endorsements. But, people who cant think for themselves and doesn't even know the General Election is November 2008 and not in 2009 will be influenced greatly by celebrity endorsements.

Just like star stuck people going to Obama events and gets hope and inspiration with empty words.

"Oh say can you see?"

Another white man out of his mind

The great peacemaker knows what he is talking about.

Reading a blog like this demonstrates one thing. The US needs to spend a whole lot more effort educating our citizens. Is there anybody left in the country who can spell and string ten words together into a coherent sentence?

On the other hand, I suspect about half of these postings are written by pros who are trying to look like "average folks".

Recents polls show Obama losing to McCain in Florida and Ohio and he is barely even with McCain in PA. The Obama Express will lose in 2008. They will be campaign hard and will not want Bill or Hillary Clinton's help. That is fine. MCCain will win. Hillary will be the nominee in 2012 and win. Obama will be washed up. Hillary is beating McCain in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Democrats lost FLorida and Ohio in 2004 and barely won in PA. Obama was strong during the primaries but he has yet to make a huge dent nationally against McCain.

Another endorsement from the Left Wing of the Democratic party. The wing of the party that the American people having rejected in election after election for President.
I am waiting for Rev. Jackson and Al Sharpton to endorse Obama, why have those two not come out with their endorsement of Obama or are they supporting Hillary?

Carter was one of the worst president's in American History. Does anyone really want his nomination? I think not.

well, I'm glad at least Carter got it right. (i'm not happy about it).
Obamaa won Georgia and carter is following what his voters wanted unlike Judas, oops i mean Richardson. anyway,
Every one give Hillary $10 today…if 1 million people gave her $5 or $10 today then we could shut this guy down..obviously he's using all his money in Penn to beat her (and he still can't)
Come on Hillary supporters – we can do it!!!

I don't understand why Hillary supporters keep attacking anyone who doesn't agree with their point of view. Seems like the hatred they have is deep and real which stops them from thinking and acting logically. Instead of complimenting Obama for inspiring the young people of America to be more involved, they keep tearing him and the youth of America down. It's sad to see. Be a Democrat, be positive people.

Another great reason to never vote for Obama – an endorsement from our second to worst president.

Yes, All the peanut farmers of America thank you, President Carter!
Obama 08

Hillary…oh Hillary, where are your taxes, where is that donors list for the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Library….we as taxpayers deserver to who you we are getting…and who you might OWE favors to IF you get in the White House.
Also…can you please pay your bills, looks bad in the head lines…you stiffing the little people who voted for you.

Oh goody – a former president who's presidency was a dismal failure!! Carter should stick to humanitarian efforts and stay out of politics.

A Carter endorsement would not just be peanuts.Why can't Clintonites see it coming?

I wonder if Clinton supporters would by cynical about President Carter's endorsement had he endorse Clinton? I think NOT!

Jimmy, I'll take your super delegate vote for Obama but please shut up about it. Go build a house and stop reminding people you are still around. Some of us haven't forgotten your 4 years in the White House.

Carter I always like his style as President and now as a former president endorsing Obama he is respecting the wishes of the American people .
We Want Change Now.
Hillary and Bill your finished gone goodbye .
Obama 08 Yes We Can

No more Bush-Clinton, Bush-Clinton DYNASTY!
Obama '08

Smart Man! And, as soon as Camp Clinton realize that the American people don't want Hillary or Bill back in the White House and drop out of this election, then the Democratic Party can focus on John McCain.

Young voters probably don't know enough about Carter to be influenced one way or another. But older voters, particularly older men who are currently "undecided", might be more inclined to vote for Obama because of Carter's opinion that he is the best of the two Democratic candidates.

Hillary said Obama can't win……..her black supporters keep trying to get white folks mad, so they can turn against Obama. Sorry guys, the only state you have a chance at is Puerto Rico. Common Hillary say what is on your mind, say it ………say "Meet me in Puert Rico" at 3.am

"My children and their spouses are pro-Obama. My grandchildren are also pro-Obama."…………… This is not the first time a superdelegate has used their family and children as a reason to why they think Obama is a better candidate. This just confirms why our future generation is so important. Obama has the younger voters LISTENING to what going on in the world….

I LOVE IT!! GO CARTER!!!

What will the Clinton supporters say?!?! There is always a fresh new excuse after every Obama victory (caucus states don't count, little states don't count, superdelgates that support Obama do not count, only ones that support clinton, so now will ex-presidents not count?!?! SO THEM THAT WILL MEAN BILL CLINTON DOES NOT COUNT?!?!)

I LOVE IT!! OBAMA 08!!!

To all the Clinton supporters that were gracious enough to acknowledge that while they disagree with Carter, they still respect him and his decision, KUDOS TO YOU!!!! I LOVE THE CIVILIZED CLINTON SUPPORTERS!!

OBAMA 08 ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!

I wish all of the Obama supporters would tell me what has he done. All I hear is "change and We can" He is against the war as we all are but he didn't come out until it was politicaly correct. Even his spoksperson could not come up with any bills he has authered in the Senate. mostly he voted present, hardly a stand.
Hillary has co-authored over 50 bills with Republican co-authors and has a lot of experience in foreign affairs. Only she can beat McCain in November.
Obama will be "swwiftboated " to death. and will lost to McCain.

Wow, it is amazing how naive these folks are and how ignorant they are of the key role Carter played in creating the mess in the middle east that we are now dealing with!!! This shows you how educated our folks are when it comes down to world affairs and how doomed we are as a nation to survive in the global enterprise. Wow! Well, for what its worth, now Obama will never win!!!!

President Carter has done some amazing things in terms of negotiating peace around the world – he is not only well respected here but elsewhere around the world.

I'm glad he is supporting Obama, and I think it really means a lot for him to have said that he sees Obama as being able to heal America's relationship with the world.

A note to Hillary supporters – I respect and admire your willingness to stand by your candidate, but please remember that the important thing here is a dem victory in November, and please be willing to support whoever wins the nomination. Best of luck.

There is nothing healing about Obama. But I'm starting to believe than maybe the best thing for this country is to re-learn a lesson it thought it had learned in the past 8 years – voting for empty promises, gets no results. If there is even a shred of hope in me that Obama wins the Presidency, it's only to say,"…I told you so."

NObama in '08

Lady in MN,
Do the math… Who has more of the popular vote?

There are sadly only 3 reasons that I see anyone is really voting for Hillary right now…
(1) They either liked Bill, so they want him again through her.
(2) They are racist and still think Obama is muslim because of his middle name.
(3) They are women and feel as if it's their duty to put all the men that have betrayed them in their lives, in their place by electing the first woman president.

I liked Bill as a president, and if he was running again I would be torn between voting for him and voting for Obama… That's the real point, if Obama can make a president of the past look not as appealing, one you thought was a good president(not a good husband), and make you hope for the future through him, than how would you not be inspired to vote for him? Obama is a new face with new ideas and a new agenda for this country. One that I believe will bring this country out of the dooms day senario that George W. Bush has crafted for us. It's neat to look at the demographics for who's voting for who.

P.S. Republicans: I moved to Florida from Nebraska… So my useless vote will now help Florida to be a blue state.

Who cares? Let him cast his superdelegate for Obama. Obama will be a DO NOTHING PRESIDENT JUST LIKE HIM. WHO IS CARTER AND WHAT HAS DONE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? NOTHING!

HILLARY CLINTON 08

the clock is ticking Hilary , end this race now so we can focus money and resources on the Republican Candidate who i believe is being underestimated!

This is good news. Will be better if/when he actually officially endorses OBAMA.

Bravo! It's time for Clintons to retire… before the ugly humiliation they'll face ahead!! I am so happy! Thank you, Mr. President!

Max

Thank you Mr President you may not have been the best in office but I have a whole new found respect for you and your family! god bless and have a safe trip while over seas.

The good people of Pensyvania are going to pull the plug on hillary after she releases her tax return. Go PA you can do it. You need to throw this evil woman under the bus or better yet under the train.
Thank you Pennsilvania.

Talk about the nail in Obama's coffin, that's what the Carter endorsement will be. People haven't forgotten what a terrible president Carter was with his single handedly destroying our military readiness, botched handling of the Iranian hostage crisis and 18% prime interest rates. And here is my question for the Obama supporters praising Obama saying NAFTA has to go or at a minimum be renegotiated, part of NAFTA says the U.S. has priority access to Canadian oil, Canada has said if NAFTA is scrapped or renegotiated that provision is one they want gone so they can sell their oil to China, so where is Obama going to get the oil we lose from Canada?

A peanut brain supporting another peanut brain. Obama will do to the country what the other idiot did, give it away!!!

Hillary supporters are getting angier by the day when someone endorses Obama. They disrespect and dismiss the importance a great American like Carter. Their behavior simply speak to their lack of education and logic. One guy stated that he and his three friends will may sure Obama does not win. Dag blasted fool has lost his mind. The polls does say that Hilary supporters are the less educated folk in America.

Vote for America! Super Delegates Unite!!! Domcrats Unite behind Obama who has worked hard to get the nomination. This guy faced a former president, a first lady, his race, name, and experience. He overcame all these odds and challenges with hard work and intelligence. If this is not the American dream than the dream has deferred. This is how Obama got my vote. Thanks President Carter!!!

Obama 08!!!

Lady in Mn…have you ever been in war zone,,,if you have and you care about people you would never lie about the experience or garnish it for votes…says a lot about a person and the pple who believe in her !

Why do Obama supporters have to be Kool-Aid drinkers? Many Blacks often talk about drinking kool-aid growing up because of being poor. Is this a racial slur?

Is the 39th President another irrelevent endorsement?

jimmy, however never made the best decisions.

GOOOO! Jimmy, you know what's right.

DON'T FALL FOR IT FOLKS!!!!!!!

SENATOR CLINTON WILL WIN THIS!!!!!!

PEOPLE NO LONGER TRUST THE LIAR OBAMA!!!!!!

HEY OBAMA_________

I WANT MY VOTE COUNTED IN FL!!!!!!

HILLARY CLINTON OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

President Carter, a true statesman. Please stop aging. We need you.

The Clinton Campaign has gone to great lengths to denigrate anyone who does not side with them. They take their plays out of the neo-con playbook — "If you are not with us, you are against us" mentality.

Bill Richardson is the Judas of all Judases; caucus states don't matter because their populations are inconsequential; SC, AL et al don't matter because they are black statese voting for a black man.

Now Jimmy Carter, who negotiated the peaceful release of US hostages from the Iranian Ayatollahs before Ronald Reagan came and rode on the success; the man, along with is wife (despite their ages), and staff at the Carter Center, who have risked fame and fortune, in their service to humanity through the pursuit of democracy and the PEACEFUL establishment of democratic institutions around the world, is suddenly a failure and non-person just because he hints at endorsing Obama.

It is precisely because of such vicious politics that the Clinton Campaign has successfully turned away many people who had initially supported her.

And it seems to me that they have not learned, or have just refused to learn from their mistakes.

It's really a shame.

however he's never made the best decisions.

Who cares?? I hope you guys enjoy 4 years of a McCain presidency!

If Carter supports Obama, then me and everybody I know will vote for Ronald Reagan.

oh wait…

I'm a long-time admirer of Carter, but his presidency was a disaster and he has never been on good terms with the Clintons. Funny, people keep making the analogy between Obama and JFK, but in many ways Obama is closer to Carter in terms of his naivete and lack of experience. Too bad we're not going to find this out until after the nominating process. I think the party elders should stop interfering and let the voters be heard in all 50 states. This is the best way to produce the most viable candidate in the general election.

I bet Obama bots saying "do the math" does not have basic math skills to do any math.

It is a euphemism they heard somewhere and repeating to sound intelligent.

Obama has just been given the kiss of death… This will hurt if too many people take it to mean that Obama shares Carter's views on things.

The secret weapon to Obama's demise: Get an endorsement from Jimmy Carter.

I'm not shocked that the worst president of all time is endorsing the most liberal senator in the country.

remember everyone. we're all democrats here. as much as the republican pundits want to paint mccain as a moderate he is a hardcore bush-esque neocon. we are on the brink of disaster and if we can't come together as a party this country will crumble. STOP FIGHTING AND START UNITING!

hillary supporters for obama!
obama supporters for hillary!

democrat 08!

so what??? who cares? after all Jimmy Carter's presidency was one of the worse , ever, I remember myself as a newly wed couple , my husband and I almost starve to death, the inflation and job less under Carter administration was bad, really bad. so , his endorsement means nothing to us.

I AM BURNING YOUR BOOK MR. CARTER.

Sal In Phoenix:the worst in American Presidential history is George W. Bush.

Hillary supporters, please quit bashing people when you don't get your way! When, I last checked, Obama is the will of the people as he leads in the popular votes as well as in pledged delegates. Moreover, he is not stealing anything from Hillary. She has had a fair opportunity. Quit looking for excuses. Whether you are a Hillary supporter or an Obama supporter, at the end of the primary process, you should follow Rendell's lead, and support whoever the Democratic nominee is. Or, are you willing to sacrifice the good of the country for your hurt feelings? McCain has his own baggage which will come out soon enough!

Yes Jimmy Carter was a good man (and he still is) and a bad President! Bill Clinton was a good president but not a good man (and he still isn't). Barack Obama will be both a good man and a good president

Lady in MN…

1) The Clintons brought in millions in personal deals this year that did not come from sources considered 'legal' for a U.S. Senator and a lawyer; whereas, Reverand Wright's sermons have now been read in their entirety and found have nothing wrong with them.

2) Last night NBC's Tim Russert 'did the math and showed just how Obama will will the GE without Ohio, Florida or Michigan. He will win Virginia.

3. CNN and MSNBC are NOT the only news media covering the election. You have to face the fact that Obama is simply winning.

4) The hatred you spew really doesn't make you much of a lady.

I THINK THIS IS A CROCK!!!!!

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE POLLS TO SEE THAT HILLARY LEADS IN NATIONAL AND PENN POLLS!!!!!!

THIS IS ANOTHER FUTILE ATTEMPT TO TURN MORE PEOPLE AGAINST HILLARY!!!!!!!

THE NEWS MEDIA OUTLETS ARE RUN BY REPUBLICANS WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM OBAMA BEING THE NOMINEE!!!!!!

THEY WILL DRAG HIS DIRT OUT AND HE'S GONE!!!!!!

THEN WE GET McCAIN!

DON'T BE FOOLED PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!!!!

This is the stamp of approval by a former President and, more importantly, white southern govenor. It gives fence sitters more legitimacy in coming out and supporting Obama without the 'Judas' label. Bill Clinton has less ammo to arm twist for Hillary.

Yet ANOTHER Great American for the HillBillyBots to now defame and insult and WHINE about.

Seriously people you are wearing the rest of the country out with your crybaby ways.

TO Emma- Im also a fellow Georgian and yes we need Obama. He won our state by 24%, which means the majority of Ga's Democrats feel the same. AS far as Cater goes: BAd President, Great Human. Lets hope obama Can differ from Jimmy on the former.

obama 08

Don't forget folks – once you nominate the wrong person you cnanot call the DNC and say "I'm sorry – we made a mistake-can we redo this " Exactly what you'll be wanting to do if you give Obama the nomination !!! Once the Republican attack machine starts you'll wish you had voted for Clinton !!

GO! HILLARY. 2008

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

"Sal in Phoenix April 3rd, 2008 12:31 pm ET

It figures, the worst president in U.S. history supports the weakest candidate..I'm not surprised."

ummmm weakest how? Cus i thought he was winning this thing. Wow, thats really a good point, i guess we should all back the candidate who has raised less money, has less pledged delegates, has less of the popular vote and is carrying less states. Good one broham.

Time to get out of the sun, son, its making you loopy.

For all of the right or wrong that Jimmy Carter did while serving as the President, very few can dispute the fact that he is the country's greatest former President for all of the work that he has done and conitnues to do. I honestly thought Bill clinton was going to follow suit and build upon his legacy post-White House but his family's greed for power has only tarnished his long-term legacy instead. They will seek to minimize Carter's endorsement of Obama but that really does speak large volumes to a number of people!

Happy..former president Carter goes with the will of his state georgia…that is the right thing to do.

OBAMA 2008..!!!!

Mark wrote "Jimmy Carter- nice man but one of the worst presidents ever. I don't think his endorsement is much to write home about."

Maybe you won't write home about it, but that's another Superdelegate for Obama and against Hillary. That's worth writing about!

…and then there was Carter. Let me see if I can guess who will endorse Obama tomorrow! Maybe, Joe Biden?

Obama!!!

Big deal!

Jimmy Carter for Obama, think that would be a big help to Hillary, Carter would be the last person in the world I would want to recommend anyone. He and Obama can go suck up to the terrorist and nuke our allies in thier spare time, give me a break.
Both hate Israel, Jimmy went down the wrong road, we don't need another like him.

Vote Obama 08,,,,make the United Nations the VP

Former President Jimmy Carter and a great peace maker, whether he endorses Obama or Hillary, he is a true democrat and understands what's at stake in healing our country. Democrats must stand united.

Stay out of it, the party is spit in two you are just going to make people mad.

Good for President Carter. he is voting not only his conscience, but the representative wishes of his community. We need a change ,enough with the deal making politicians.Vvote Obama!

The strategic reason is that BO will make Crater presidency look better thus shoring up his legacy only as the 3rd worst presidency.

Obama = worst

GW = 2nd worst

Carter = 3rd worst.

This is list you want drop down instead of going up.

Well, that will do it for me. The WORST PRESIDENT EVER picks Obama. I've gotta go with Hillary '08.

that endorsement will do more harm than Rev. Wrights' endorsement…every Republican voter will vote for McCain after hearing from the Worst President and worse ex-president ever.

Carter: Good man but Bad President
Bill Clinton: Bad Man but Good President

Obama: Good Man but Not Ready
Hillary Clinton: BEST WOMAN AND READY RIGHT NOW!!!!

Hillary '08

This will make Bill Clinton-the Ike turner of politics-very very red-faced.

I'm sure the Clintons can't throw anything more at Pres Carter that'd be any worse than what he's been dealing with since he left office decades ago. Always said this guy was the best ex-POTUS we've ever had.

In any case, he's doing exactly as everyone's been screaming for – he's planning on representing the will of the State of GA. Since they went (in large numbers) for Obama, that's who he is planning to support.

No, it's probably not a 'news' story, but it is a story about how this superdelegate nonsense can work.

Carter was not an exceptional President, but he tried. I think what he has done after his Presidency means much more. He has been a continuos spokesman for peace and antipoverty and involved in Countrys that do not have millions of barrels of oil under their soil. His judgement is still respected in the Democratic party.

1) The point is he was speaking to Nigerian paper .
2)Cater always does stupid things this not news to us.
3) Because of his presidency republican run this country for 12 years.
4) Obama and Cater love to surrender to Iran.
This not surprise

Thank you Mr President for not revealing your choice at this time. You have always represented yourself with dignity and you continue to do so.

I personally don't believe that the superdelegates should come out and announce their candidacy. What happens if you announce your support to the public and then your candidate doesn't capture the nomination? How do you handle the fact that you didn't support the nominee? The superdelegates should keep quiet until they reach the convention.

We need to work together and stand behind our candidate. As a country, we can not stand another four years of Republician economics. We will all be homeless and bankrupt.

USUALLY I LIKE PRESIDENT CARTER. WHAT WILL HE GET OUT OF THIS ENDORSEMENT. TOO BAD

Howard Wolfson – who cares what FORMER Bill Clinton thinks about what decision President Carter makes. Bill is not running for anything and it is ironic that you used Senator Clinton and President Cinton both……. What will Bill be her Vice President.

GOD HELP US if that happened.

GO OBAMA

Obama has all the old losers backing him up.. I thought he was going to promise us something new !!!! Wow Teddy-bar Kennedy and now Jimmy Carter. Real poster boys for disfunctional government

No-Bama 2008

Good for Carter, he can choose who he wants.

Just an FYI, part of the reason so many clinton supporters would go over to McCain is because of how Obama supporters treat them. You may want to consider that in the future.

President Carter,

I admire your courage. Your endorsemnet should be annouanced on 04/20/2008, right before PA closed primary. We need to help Obama close the deal. We should force the inevitiable loser to drop out.

By the way, CNN Campbell Brown is a Republican and she supports Hillary Clinton.

I respect if he votes with his home State. Wish others would do the same.

If Carter does endorse Obama, it will be the kiss of death for him.

I admire senator Hillary Clinton, but she should step back start grooming Chelsa for a White House run in 2025 or thereafter. To all of the superdelegates, you shouldn't feel that you owe the Clintons anything, that is the main problem with American polictics. America needs a complete overhaul Obama is the right person for the job, i hear the hype about experience, did experience bring America to its current state if so, it doesn't say anything for having experience, Iraq war, fuel prices, and economy.

President Carter is highly repected but I think he is a bit too old to make the right judgement. Sorry Mr. President but dementia is a terrible disease to have in old age.

As President Carter is reported to have said, "The Clintons are always there when they need you."

That pretty much sums up Billary.

Carter is America's greatest "elder statesman" and his preference for Obama comes as no surprise. When Hillary fabricated the story about running to a car with her head down while braving sniper fire, she lost whatever remained of her credibility as a leader.

Good grief who cares about what Carter has to say. Cater a Christian
!!!!!!!how could he vote for someone that has listen to Wright for 20 years and let his children listen to such harsh word . I thought he was a good moral man but that thought just when out the window

What I remember from "The Peanut Farmer" years-17% interest rates, the complete lack of leadership during the Iran Hostage Crisis, I'm not surprised that he would endorse a candidate that is no longer viable!

Did anyone see the Chris Matthews interview with Obama????

Was it just me, or does Matthews have a man-crush on Barack?
I swear, he was swooning……..

Hillary has had an uphill battle for months now, ever since the
pundits on the cable news channels have decided that they'd
rather have a man than a woman president, and that's the bottom line.

Barack Obama is too soft, inexperienced and racist to be the
President of the United States. It's time for a REAL CHANGE.

HILLARY '08!!!!!

If I don't like Obama…..or Hillary……or McCain….does that make me racist or part of the "Clinton Machine"? You people are weird. I don't like any of them. Why do these old democrats find it necessary to "back" anyone? Obamabots, Hillarybots and McCainbots…you're all the same. There is not ONE person on either ticket worth being president. But the people that are so pro-Obama seem to be brainwashed. It is really sickening to see how the man has done NOTHING to warrant all of this idol worship except give "inspirational" speeches. Obama supporters scare me as much as his unknown factors do.

THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL:

Even Democrats which certainly cannot be titled LIBERAL are now endorsing OBAMA, as the Pennsylvania senator, Lee Hamilton, Richardson and now Carter are supporting OBAMA.

And OBAMA has nearly closed the gap in Pennsylvania and is running away in North Carolina.

WILL HILLARY CONTINUE TO BE OBSTINATE AND A PARTY DAMAGING BAD LOSER (pardon: "a tough fighter") ??

ALBO

I am a Obama supporter, however is Hillary getting any superdelegates that the media can speak about?? Just curious…

They are both "nice" people, but not strong enough to run the USA>

To all the apparently pro-George Bush Hillary supporters:

If your candidate loses and you vote for McCain you are voting for 4 more years of GB. It's time to start getting through the various phases of grief.

Don't forget, the president in many ways is a figure head and if Obama wins he will have a lot of smart people (including most likely Hillary!) working in his administration.

VERY GOOD CHOICE FORMER PRESIDENT CARTER. THANK YOU!

Super Delegates Unite!!! Domcrats Unite behind Obama who has worked hard to get the nomination. This guy faced a former president, a first lady, his race, name, and experience. He overcame all these odds and challenges with hard work and intelligence. If this is not the American dream than the dream has deferred. This is how Obama got my vote. Thanks President Carter!!!

Obama 08!!!

The troops are starting to rally around one candidate, and that one is Obama.

Of course he will either be a Benedict Arnold and insignificant according to the Clintons.

After all, everyone and every state that has leaned towards Barack doesn't matter according to them.

I’m so tired of people holding Pastor Wright’s remarks against Obama. Hillary's doing all kinds of out of character things and her supporters are still there for her. What makes you think Obama wasn't a good influence over the Pastor Wright. Obama just made a wonderful speech that no other politician in history ever dared to make – because they couldn’t touch it. Being the son of a white mother and black father allows him to see both sides of the race issue. There needs to be a healing with regard to race in this country and only Obama is prepared to bring us all together. As a Democrat I will vote for Hillary if she wins against Obama because I’m Democrat. We all have to stick together.

I am a Hillary supporter and I don't fault Carter for his choice. Obama won in his state, unlike Richardson. Plus, Jimmy has no aspirations for a position.

I just pulled the numbers state by state and Hillary is only behind about 140,000 in popular vote with 10 primaries left. Obama won in predominantly red states…I say predominantly so please read this accurately. He has not won in some of the most major states that are crucial to Democrats winning in general elections. Plus, he wins in caucauses which only provide a small window of opportunity for voters…a general election lasts all day so voters have an opportunity to go to the polls.

The Democratic party is really behind the eight ball in this primary election. They have left the Clintons alone to fight this battle while coronating Obama. Hillary has a lot of support and they will not be so forgiving in the general election and there is a huge possibility that this support will go McCain because they believe that the Clintons are not the sole reason for the negativity and they just don't trust or know Obama well. Obama looks clean cut while his supporters/surrogates are out doing the dirty work. Any time you have a close election like this and the party is showing support for one candidate, it does not fair well with the other candidate's voters, especially when Obama claims change and a new Washington and he is dripping in the same old Washington folks.

Hillary needs to wake up and smell the roses.. It's over, lady. Pretty soon the only Super delegate endorsing Hillary, will be her husband….

Smart, good man – but a lousy president. Still, this is significant; he has well earned the status of elder statesman and his humanitarian work is beyond reproach. Thank you, sir.

Clintonistas' – what say ye – how shall we brand this latest ingrate – let's see, we have – "Judas, a nobody, traitor, non-experienced, stupid, loser, means nothing, etc. etc.," Which one shall we choose here? If he had gone over to "Her Highness," we would be hearing no end of how it was a "major endorsement" and "deeply significant." God, how I love that hillbilly spin machine………

I am not a fan of Jimmy Carter — but am glad to hear he supports Obama.

Apparently, the only superdelegates who support Hillary are those who locked in early, and now will have trouble getting out.

To paraphase, someone once said that "Those who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by those who are doing it."

And to paraphrase, someone else once said, "The art of flying was not born from contemplating staying on the ground."

Possibilities turn into probabilities when thought and intent is coherently aligned.

So to those that say Obama cannot win in November, I'd say it all depends on where we put our collective focus.

Yes WE can.
KC MO

Pres Carter was true humanitarian. this is very meaningful.

People like Carter and Rep. John Lewis shouldn't be superdelegates if they're afraid to exercise judgment of their own. If superdelegates were supposed to simply reflect the choice of voters in their districts or states, then why HAVE superdelegates? It takes guts, not a "monkey see monkey do" mentality. Carter and all the bigshot politicos have to prove they're not racially prejudiced. How about proving your not misogynous? Oh, I forgot. It's ok to be that way against women. Especially in the Bible belt. Carter and Kennedy are jealous of the Clintons as well.

Jimmy Carter. Very nice man. Perhaps the worst recent President.

Is he trying to get us to vote for Obama, because he wants to move
a step and be the Second Worst President ?

Hello Carter, thank you u great American and Humanitarian.
My god bless you.

Is this even a good thing for Obama?
This is like Bush endorsing a Repub candidate 12 years from now.
Obama supporters are so twisted. Everything involved in the first Clinton administration is terrible (even though it was some of the best times in US history) but he's nothing compared to one of the worst presidents in history (Carter).

Obama would be just like Carter. A lame duck 4 year president (although if you look at how he's polling in OH, PENN and Florida it will be hard for him to get even that).

So, he got VP spot?

Wow. I'm very happy for Obama. Every day, he gains a little more ground.

Despite that horrible Rev. Wright, I sincerely hope Obama is who he says he is. It would be refreshing to have a calm, intelligent, articulate president in the White House.

as others have said, Carter was one of the poorest choices for president we've ever had, but if Obama gets in, then he would be the poorest choice. Too unknown and what is known isn't good, if people will just look beyond the speechs. He's a great talker but then so was Hitler, also to the impressional young. Sorry, but 18 doesn't hve enough life experience to really see some things clearly, they are usually joiners and that's why Obama went for them. Hope they don't regret it. If Obama gets the nom then McCain will be president

Its actually pretty funny because all the CLINTON supporters are getting nasty on these boards. Example A:

Lady in MN April 3rd, 2008 12:23 pm ET

I have 3 questions for you kool aid drinking Obamapologists. I will be impressed if you can answer one in an informative and rational manner.

1) All I hear you whine right now is “What about her tax returns”….”where are her tax returns. Its a fair point, but please explain to me what could be possibly near as damaging in them, as compared to having Wright as your pastor (not pasture Obamabot) for 20 years.

2) I also consistently hear “Do the Math”. Fair enough the math is impossible for Hillary, but why don’t YOU do the math. Please get Obama to the needed victory in the electoral college in the GE. NOTE – OH, FL, MI, and VA cannot be counted as he will not win them….see current polls. (I’ll start you off with CA, IL, and Vermont). GOOD LUCK

3) If CNN and MSNBC were as in the bag for Clinton as they are for Obama…..Do you honestly think Obama would be in a statsistcal tie like Hillary is now.

WAKE UP AMERICA

Once again, all we see is the Clinton "fail-train" pointing fingers at Obama, as if he is the enemy. Maybe this Clinton supporter should try proving why Hillary is the better candidate, not why he isn't. And another thing, this "WAKE UP AMERICA" thing is getting really old, like what exactly does that mean? Trust me, we Americans are awake-….hold up…I am dodging sniper fire here in my office…….-to the lies and dirty politics Hilarity is playing.

LOL Hillary=fail *thanks for playing*

I got 3 questions for you Billary:
1.) Where are your TAX RETURNS?
2.) Where are your EARMARKS?
3.) Why wait till APRIL 20TH, 2days to PA Primary before you release your March campaign donations?

Waiting for time to doctor your numbers and lie, twist and distort your failing campaign?!

Billary, do us all a favor and DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP OUT!!!!

So whats left for Hillary-it was the superdelegates thing-now where is it-if they are all going for Obama, what does that tell you? Cmon America-it is ok to admit something is not good for the country and hey we still respect you.

Another great endorsement, I hope Bill and Hill wont go ballistic on him. Clintons should cut their losses the democartic party is bigger than their ambitions, we are fed up with mornachies.

The superdelegates are much wiser than I thought, they are definitely not getting into the Clinton's fake game.

Thank you president Carter. Obama is indeed the world's choice!
Fabienne from Canada

Would someone please interview the white congregation from Rev. Wright's former church? I would really like to know their feelings!

Lets see if Hillary's pork spending, tax returns, and contribution to the Bill Clinton Library have in common? Could the people that benefited from Hillary's pet projects, turned around and gave these monies as a donation for the library?

SO skimming the ticker reveals 5 photos of Obama, 2 of Hillary and 1 of McCain. And they claim no bias???

A great American President may support Senator Obama. That is good news for the Democratic Party. President Carter is a great American President because he refused to fall into the same trap that destroyed President Bush's Presidency. He refused to be baited into a senseless war in the Middle East. I am forever grateful to his personal strength in refusing to cater to " the military-industrial complex"! Whom ever he may support, be it Senator Clinton or Senator Obama, it is a great addition to either side!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

Jimmy Carter's problem was that he was 20 years ahead of his time. A great man, probably the most honest and honorable president we ever had. Problem was, greed and "look out for #1″ took over and the public was an easy mark. Just look how the "Regan Revolution" has destroyed almost everything good in this country. I am for Obama because I recognize his potential as a healer and am not surprised that Jimmy Carter recognizes the same thing.

With this economy, and gas prices this high, the endorsement of Jimmy Carter will sink Obama. Everyone is already making comparisons to Carter's inexperience that led to oil shortages, gas lines down the street, rationing with you only able to get gas every other day, and if you ran out of gas before your day, tough luck. Remember having to turn your heat down in the winter and wear the infamous cartigans to try and keep from freezing to death? Obama needs Carters endorsement like he needs another expose on Jeremiah Wright.

This is huge…
He said this in Nigeria. I understand Africans are watching this election the same way Americans do. They all for Obama. You will see the rallies when Obama secure the nomination.

I understand that the Chinese invested more than 400 billions, over the last 5 years, in Africa. America is loosing the compitition there. However, with president Obama, things will change and all Africa will on US side.

A man of character and dignity understands which candidate has the same qualities.

To the person who said Carter's endorsement doesn't matter. He's a super delegate. That's one more in Obama's column. That matters.

Don't let the sniper fire hit you on the way out, Hillary.

I am disturbed that you would post such language that is used by Lady in MN. I hardly think she should refer to Obama supporters as Kool- Aid drinkers. This is very sterotypical and racist and I would hope that you would remove the post.

I do not care if this gets posted – I just want to ensure attention is brought to that very offensive post.

Lady in MN – I'll answer all 3

1) With an open mind and a clear view of the world and not what the media tells you, the Wright controversy holds no influence on your mind. You'll see that he is a vocal critic of American foreign affairs and morality and, although his words may sound harsh, they speak a lot of truth.

2) That argument is flawed. Any political analyst knows that how someone does in a state during the primaries doesn't say anything about how they will do in the GE. You can't count on these pre-general election polls that pit Obama vs. McCain AND Hillary vs. McCain because that's not how the election will be… it will be OR not AND. While the question are supposed to be treated like an OR, Hillary supporters will say 'nay' to Obama because Hillary is still in the race and the same goes for Obama supporters. They treat it as an AND question whether you like it or not.

3) Trick question. But the answer is "Yes".

Enjoy the responses you were hoping not to read!

Lady in MN

In answer to your questions:

1. The tax returns are important because they show us as Americans that she can be transparent. What is she hiding? She lied about her foreign policy experience and NAFTA (her support was shown on tape when she was first lady), now she is reluctant to show us her tax returns. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of being lied to.

In terms of the Pastor, you cannot control what others say. Obama has repeatedly denounced his Pastor's comments, but people still seem to believe that he is so naive to believe everything his Pastor says. Hey, I am a devoted Catholic, and I have stood by my church and my religion even when I heard of numerous "Pastors" sexually molesting young children. Do I believe in sexual molestation because I am a devoted Catholic? Do other Catholics believe in sexual molestation? Well, according to you they do.

2. Yes, you are right that neither of them can win the nomination without the support of the Super Delegates. However, you are missing the point when you think the Supers are going to turn on the voices of the people. Obama has won more states, more popular votes, and more delegates than Hillary. You cannot count the General Election polls because we are not yet in the General Election. Do you really think Democrats are going to support 100 more years in Iraq, someone who knows nothing about the economy, someone who supports NAFTA, etc? I don't think so.

3. CNN is not in the bag for Obama. If CNN was so biased, don't you think they would talk about all of HIllary's scandals in the White House? Wouldn't they talk about the people who have worked close with her who say she is a pathological liar? When the Wright smear came out, they ran the videos for a week straight, and they are still being run. When Hillary's Bosnia lie came out, it was on the news for one day. Tell me who is media bias now? You can't help that her campaign is so negative and she keeps slipping up. It's the media's job to report that.

Hillary is in not statistical tie…that's a myth. WAKE UP! Considering the stage of the race, his lead is consequential. He is way of ahead….even if you do count Florida.

As for media bias, what about the one year period, where all the newspapers were nearly already crowning the first female president!!!! People have a very short memory. Is is Obama's fault that he is a better and more exciting candidate than Sen Clinton?

Thank you Mr Nobel price winner Jimmy Carter

Thank you Mr. Carter! You were a great president!

As one fellow Georgian to another… WE NEED OBAMA!!!!! THANK YOU Pres. Carter!!!

Billary go bake a cake. The most respected President says Obama. The least respected says you and that is your liar of a husband Bill. How sad it must be to be you and him.
Obama08

In the general election, will Obama win the election and become a president and leader of the most powerful country in the world? The answer is capital No. He is a very smart and likeable person, but he does not have the experience or judgement to be president. Nominating him means that, the democrats are headed for another defeat.

i am from the middle east, but am not muslim. i still have many middleeastern friends (of all faiths) and all consistently agree that Obama will go far in healing the united states' reputation and status amoung the people of that region. the less animosity there is between the regions means that there will be less risk of violence and terrorism and a greater possibility for peace and accord. i agree with Carter on this point.

Go GO OBAMA you are the man

Obama 08 Bilary I am sorry but it seems like you are done and you ve been over it for sometimes now. Poor Bilary. Go Go Obama 2008 I am so pround to be black

Democrats 08
Even if you don't agree with him endorsing Senator Obama you should at least look at why he is supporting him.
A lot of people are going to continue to come out for Obama till we hit PA and it would be wise to really take a look at why he is gaining so much support. If you decide it is because of race or gender you aren't paying attention.
Remember support your party and support the Union as we all are a part of what binds this country for the pursuit of Happiness.

Alright JC. Give your endorsement to seal the deal.

Go Obama 08″

Jimmy was a disaster when trying to deal with Iran and the American hostages.
Helicopter crashed killing all aboard.
Let him endorse Obama and give him the same type of presidency as Jimmy had
One term and a horrible one at that

Now what Hilary? its not fair? i'm sure someone will say something about how THE FORMER PRESIDENT vote for FUTURE PRESIDENT Obama doesnt count! GO OBAMA LETS WHEN WITH GRACE AND GET THIS OVER WITH!! all she can do is bring up wright!

THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!!!

Good choice man. To all of those Hill supporters that are mad at you for this, is called fustration!

Obama 08

Thank your Mr President. We look forward for your official endorsement.

Obama 08

Nothing will change the fact. Obama is not qualified to be a senator!

Good Mr. President. By the way why Bill's name is mentioned in the news, he is not the one campain for president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Matt

The election is not Hillary's to be stolen!!!

This is surely good news for Hillary and John McCain. Getting an endorsement from an irrelevant failed president who has taken a sharp turn to the left in recent years and seems to have cozied up to virtually all of America's enemies, is not the good news that Senator Obama might wish to spin it as.

What the. . . .? Aren't you for the poor and the disenfranchised? Why would you endorse such an elitist?

Good, now we have 2 idiots, Obama and Carter. You think things went bad when Carter was President, just wait to see what happens if Obama gets in.

time has come to listen to the wise, seasoned and decent people. Jimmy Carter might not have been the most charismatic and shrewd president of the decade but he knows to pick a chance…the whole world knows this is Obama. Clinton and McCain are bad news and it is sad to see that those who suffer the most from what they stood for in the past are believing in them as their saviour. Unreal!

Wow, notice this Obama guy's winning in a row, again! – this time the superdelegates. Does anyone still believe he won't be the nominee?

I am glad democrats want to be healed. But have we not learned from last election… Being the popular vote meas NOTHING. YOU can still lose!! I already see my new bumper sticker now….
DON'T BLAME ME I VOTED FOR HILLARY. Barack will never beat Mccain in a election. All this stuff they are doing to get our hopes up high will come crashing down once the real candidate (Hillary) steps away. Anyone ever hear of policy? what is obamas BIG plan for the country?? Besides holding hands and singing WE ARE THE WORLD AS other countries drop bombs and fly more planes in to us, as our children starve to death, and our economy shrinks? Soon American children will be on feed the children and we will be begging Canada, and England to save our poor kids.

Why not be a traitor like Bill Richardson?

President Carter was President of the United States and a great citizen of the world. I admire this ex-president greatly for his selfless work and sacrifice in helping the less privilaged and oppressed people around the world, especialy in Africa. Thank you Mr. President.

thanks for the "endorsement", Prez.

This is no surprise. Carter and the Clintons never had a good relationship. After his Presidency, the administration that Carter had the best relationship with was the 1st Bush Administration. He was especially close to James Baker. He had a slight falling-out with them over Gulf War 1, which in turn caused Carter to give a lukewarm endorsement to Bill Clinton in 1992. The main deciding factor was that Carter genuinely likes and respects Al Gore. But he was very disappointed that the Clinton Administration hardly ever consulted him on anything and in hindsight liked Bush 1 better.

Carter is also very pro-Palestine and very much a dove. I think he views the Clintons (Bill, anyway) as much more pro-Israel, more uni-lateral in nature than Obama who is completely anti-war and most likely more dovish towards Islamic regimes.

Obama supporters do the same thing. Once someone doesn't support Obama, they must diminish and smear them. Now that Carter seems to be leaning toward Obama, Carter is ok with Obama supporters. Same old politics as usual, just a different face.

Who cares. I would think Obama would not be particularly interested in an endorsement of Carter since people seem to be saying Obama will be another one term Carter Presidency if he wins the White House.

This is Hillarious!!! Kudos to President Jimmy Carter. IT IS OVER! Enough with this Dog and Pony show. Hillary has a major problem, her supporters her jumping ship and her campaign is financially bankrupt. She is not paying her bills. No Money = No Campaign. Just a matter of time now. Death Watch: , 1 potato, 2 potato, 3 potato, 4 potato…….Hillary (aka Ms. Rambo) do us all a favor and go home, better still go back to Bill, he still love's you!!

Our President, Obama 08 & 12!

Why does Obama continue to rack up support from losers???

1-term president Jimmy Carter is not something to brag about?

If any of us think that one person is going to bring change when none
of us want to change in this country we are all not thinking straight.
The only person we can change is ourselves and even that isn't easy.

President Carter is a very smart man.

Wise up Clintonistas, everyone can see through her lies except you.

We're not aginst Hillary because she's a woman, we're against her because she's a liar.

Obama 08

Thank you, President Carter — a very wise choice!

And to "Lady in MN": My, you sound every bit as bitter as the candidate you support!

I love Jimmy Carter! He is a very wise man.

Sounds like a loser support group. Get Walter Mon-dull on board and you've got a loser trifecta. Maybe Obama can get McGovern's Kiss of Death endoresment, too. Folks, if Carter is endoring anyone, you know to run, not walk, but RUN away as fast as you can… and hold on to your wallet while you're at it.

Let see how the Clinton camp can spin this one.

It is not a significant who the superdelegate is in most cases when they declare their alliance. The significance of all the superdelegates aligning themselves with Obama is a very significant trend. When taking a step back about 9-12 months ago most of these delegates pledged their allegance to the Clintons. Especailly being such an insider in Washington who wouldnt vote for who they are most familiar with. What is happening is a convincing trend of insiders who have known the clintons for years both bill and hillary and are saying sorry but its time to move on. How many of these superdelegates aligned themselves with Obama 9 months ago and are saying see you Barack I am supporting Hillary???? The answer is 0….

The Democratics will be unified once Obama or Clinton is name as the one. Obama will be the one and even the Clintons will line up behind him. Once she is so deeo in debt sHe will ask Obama to bail her out and help her pay off he debt.

Another smart man jumps on the train…Welcome President Carter….take a seat…although it may be hard for you to find one…it is getting mighty crowded on the Obama train. Standing Room Only!!!

GOBAMA!!!

This is great. But the real votes that really count are the people's votes. NOTE: To that guy that asked us "Obamapologists" to do the math, I would love to. Last time I checked, we had more popular votes, and there are still a bunch of caucuses that havent been counted. We have more pledged delegates than BILLARY, and we have won more than half of the states in the country. If you think we need the south to win, you are sadly mistaken. ANother thing, these polls are whats on peoples minds now, no on November. So polls about the Gen. Election are nothing now.

Please take notice to all the politicians supported Obama, THEY ALL LOST!!!!!! Jealousy rears it's ugly head that Bill Clinton is the only Democratic President since FDR to win two terms in office. Go Hillary!!

President Carter has my respect and the respect of many Americans of all generations.

I am sure that is decision will be fair, and carefully thoughtful. He has ample reason for supporting Senator Obama. He appears to be Pro-Obama, his family is Pro-Obama, his electorate is Pro-Obama, and I and the majority of the United States Voters in this Democratic nomination process that have cast their ballots so far are Pro-Obama.

Obama – 08

Ha! I love it!

I can't wait to see who Al Gore endorses!

leaders prove themselves Obama is earning one vote at a time what a great anticipation to be endorsed by a former president. Obama will win alot of states.He will break the rules of the west ,east,south, and north and win big in our america of the so called blue states and red states. this is our America we believe in. Go Obama

It's amazing to hear some bloggers write "who cares what Carter thinks" when they know darn well that if he endorsed Hillary they would sing another tune.

The reality is Obama will win it all so get ready folks. It really won't be that bad…..really.

A man of respect and dignity just like Bill Richaerdson. But wait untill the Clintons start dragging him in the mud for supporting Obama!
You see what they are doing with Gov. Richaerdson. At first they said the endosement does not matter but now they want to taint his name so he doesn't look like the kind of a leader who would be VP coz he is not in their camp!
But this is what defines the Clintons.

Wow….Wow……

Hillary supporters just trash anyone!

I'm starting to wish these people would JUST LEAVE THE PARTY…..

If Hillary has done one good thing….

It's to EXPOSE you so Democrat Extremists!

WOW

Poor choice from Carter.

That would nice if Carter endorsed Obama. That will show the Clinton 's that they can't control everybody.

Obama 08

This is a pretty big deal, Carter is well respected and a party elder. I have a feeling after Pennsylvania, when Obama pulls within 5 points, more super delegates will cast their support behind Obama and he'll have the nomination by June.

At first it is a trickle and then a flood! Expect more and more to see that\ supporting the Clinton's is a losing proposition. They carry way too much dirty baggage. Her ecent lies about sniper fire didn't help and her weak explaination she misspoke only underscored her inability to see things clearly. If she can't be trusted in the middle of the day, why would she be better at 3a.m. ?

lady in MN, looks like there are no takers for your question to the O supporters:

Lady in MN April 3rd, 2008 12:23 pm ET

I have 3 questions for you kool aid drinking Obamapologists. I will be impressed if you can answer one in an informative and rational manner.

1) All I hear you whine right now is “What about her tax returns”….”where are her tax returns. Its a fair point, but please explain to me what could be possibly near as damaging in them, as compared to having Wright as your pastor (not pasture Obamabot) for 20 years.

2) I also consistently hear “Do the Math”. Fair enough the math is impossible for Hillary, but why don’t YOU do the math. Please get Obama to the needed victory in the electoral college in the GE. NOTE – OH, FL, MI, and VA cannot be counted as he will not win them….see current polls. (I’ll start you off with CA, IL, and Vermont). GOOD LUCK

3) If CNN and MSNBC were as in the bag for Clinton as they are for Obama…..Do you honestly think Obama would be in a statsistcal tie like Hillary is now.

WAKE UP AMERICA

It's quite obvious. Many of the superdelegates were uncomfortable going up against the clinton machine. Read threats and political amnuvering) Now they are beginning to be unafarid and speaking their real truth.
Speaking about truth,
Why aren't the clinton backers botherd by the fact their candidate made a deal re Mi/Fl primaries and has no qualms about breaking her promise. Or have they abandoned the concept of honour and honesty alltogether?

President Carter,
I am disappointed in your supporting OBama.Thank God ,I am no longer a Democrat

Mr. Carter was not a bad president. George Bush is a bad president.
Bill Clinton not a bad president. Just a dirty Old Man!

Thank you Mr Carter!

Obama '08

Lady in MN you are exactly right. America does need to wake up! Obama would get smoked in a general election. He doesn't stand a chance in the general election without being on the same ticket with Hillary. He needs to suck it up and be the VP and get SOME EXPERIENCE under his belt and then run for Pres. in 2016 when he will only be something like 54 years old. He hasn't won a single big state outside of where he lives in Illinois. In a general election John McCain would take California and Florida and Ohio from him and it would be a breeze for the Republicans. Do you guys really want possibly 8 more years of George W. Bush policies? Think about it. Nuff said!

That means since March 4, 12 new superdelegates for Obama, just one for Hillary…

Thanks Carter for another wise decision!

As a former Republican I can only stress how important the support of former President Carter the best International policy advocate this country's ever had, in favor of Obama. His support only spells one thing. This country has the best opportunity to move forward with Obama in the White House, unless Americans prefer another Beaurocrat with the same old crapy politics. Please just think about the 4K dead and many more injured in a worthless war in Irak before you support McCain. This does not make sense not even to a kid.

I have little respect for the political ability of former President Carter as I think he was an ineffective president but I do think it takes courage to go against the Clinton machine.
Who'd thought?

Sounds like an endorsement to me!…….

Great news ALL this week!!!!……..

The SUPERS just keep coming in for Obama!…..

Great money total for Obama this month as well…..

Hillary now should realize America wants Obama not her…….

OBAMA: THE NEXT PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats really funny is how allof these endoresements barack is getting alwat seem to not mean anything, BUT YET youre mad about it! Hmm!

Without CNN media, without Obama;

Withou Obama, without more news;

Without more news, without ads;

Without ads, without money;

Without money, without CNN.

So, without Obama, without CNN.

JIMMY, did you tell your grandchildren that OBAMA

voted NO to

THE BORN ALIVE INFANTS PROTECTION ACT ?

maybe you should. What kind of person would vote to deny babies already born alive the right to life ?

Check Obama's voting record in the ILLINOIS Senate

If obama wins he will be a 4 year president… just like Jimmy…

Please Mr. President, make your Super Deligate decision on logic not on emotion. Senator Barack Obama, like you is a good man with good intentions. Unfortunately, he has no meaningful experience to draw from to be our President and Commander-in-Chief.

If Barack Obama really wants to serve our country as President he should take on much needed experience by remaining in the Senate and in either four years or eight years from now, depending on who is elected this year, then run for President.

With the problems our counrty faces after the current Presidential Administration, we can ill afford a new President who will need a first term to gather the needed experience to be effective.

Please Jimmy Carter, do not fall for this man's empty promises. He says he'll be a different kind of politician but he is just as corrupt as anyone. He loves Rev. Wright but he broke ties when the Wright controversy hurt his chances to win. His campaign has pulled one sentence from a McCain speech and twisted it into something untrue. Then they complain about that same thing happening to his wife's statement about not being proud of America.
Jesse Jackson "threatened" black Superdelegates that they need to support the only black candidate. Not because he is best, but because he is black. Same stuff as always. Obama is not different.
He will do and say anything to get the office. We MUST know more about him before giving him the opportunity to run America.
I am a lifelong Democrat and was very young when Carter was in office, but I admire what he has done since leaving politics. I hope his judgement is better than to support the Obama media machine.

jimmy, you and the media seem to for get the so called Ronald Reagan

democrats, you know us personally, were the ones who retired you..

this party got to realize that there base vote is as fluid as there lack of

intelligence in understanding we are the democrats, and independent

and turn coat republicans shouldn't be allowed to vote in the

democratic primary. that's why its called a democrat primary……

we should have closed primaries and every one votes on the same day in all states and territories, with the vote of the people.

being the last and only word……… court the others after the closed primary has selected our choice for nominee…..

i dont get it? why is that so hard to achieve???????????

Missouri

President Carter, do it, endorse Senator Obama today, thank you!

jujub, you don't know what you're talking about. Jimmy Carter is not revered. He is considered one of the worst presidents ever. Yep, that's a pretty lofty goal to aspire to.

More superdelegates should come out, speak their mind and end this thing. Hillary is allowed to run as long as she wants. All most of us have asked is that they keep the contest on issues and not identity.

Good Night and Good Luck

Way to go Mr. President …………….. You know "THE TRUTH"

Will someone convey that message to BILLARY & company please?

Obama has the capitol & Major Democratic backing ………….

They all are coming on in …………….. one by one ……………… AMAZING!

Rocky is not gonna be saved by the BELL this round

OBAMA 2008 ………………

I hate to bring it up but there is a slight problem about Obama though.

The Obama people whine that Hillary's campaign is giving ammo to the GOP that can hurt Obama later. That is the biggest dumb thing ever.

Think about it. The GOP knows the same thing that Hillary's camp knows. If Hillary hurts Obama in the primary race what do you think the GOP is going to do in the general election?

The reality is that Hillary has been very civil because her goal is to win the nomination without disenchanting Obama's people and not hurting Obama's career.

The GOP will not be near as nice. They are not interested in holding back. They want to end Obama's career completely and put as bad a taste in the mouth of his supporters as possible.

Anything that Hillary has attacked I can guarantee you the GOP will and much, much, much worse.

There are things about Obama I know about that have not hit the main media that would end anyone's career. I am sure the GOP is already waiting to use it for full impact if Obama is the nominee. They have so much on him that he will not be electable at all.

Consider this one point. John Kerry in 2004 a decorated war veteran with a clean record was burned down by false spin by the GOP. Obama with numerous issues and bad voting record, the GOP will have this election in the bag and they know it.

Hillary's record is already known well and there is nothing left to attack on her part. She is much more a fighter and has fought the GOP many times already even as first lady.

Trust me if you want a Republican in the whitehouse make Obama the nominee. If you want a Democrat in the whitehouse make Hillary the nominee.

How do you say "OUCH" in a politically correct manner? I find it amazing how MR Wolfson can what appears to me, simply dismiss such a potential endorsement like this. It will be very interesting to see who he does formally endorse. I can see both the Clintons turning over and over in a fitfull sleep as they worry over this one. I wonder if Bill will become ugly again if it this endorsement goes against Hillary?

It figures because Obama will be as inept as carter was in the presidency.

Considering Carter's approval rating, his endorsement of Obama may not amount to much.

End-of-Presidency Job Approval Ratings
President Rating (%) Election Results

Bill Clinton
(2 terms, D, 2001) 65 % VP Gore (D) wins popular vote but Bush (R) wins electoral college vote

Ronald Reagan

come on aboard President Carter!!

Its looking like the Democratic party is unifying behind Obama. I think its time for Mrs Clinton to do the samething an drop out and throw her support to Obama so we can win this thing in November, because if we dont McLoser will be the next president an gas prices will be 10 Dollars a gallon.

I did an amazing internship at the Carter Center in Atlanta, and i was overwhelmed by the humility and decency of Mr President. He does God's work here on earth. I hope no one will call him Judas!. God Bless you President Carter. You are my personal hero!.

This would be a Major Endorsement, more so than any other super delegate before. President Carter's legacy extends far from his time in the White House. The Clinton Campaign knows that this is One endorsement they cannot minimize it's significance.

One again, President Carter exercises wise judgement!

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYDAY AS OF LATELY, OBAMA GETS A HIGH PROFILE DEMOCRAT TO BACK HIM UP. COME ON CLINTON SUPPORTERS, IT'S TIME TO JUMP SHIP, BECAUSE THE CLINTON BOAT IS SINKING FASTER THAN LEWINSKY SCANDAL'S EFFECT ON BILL'S PRESIDENTIAL REPUTATION…

Go Mr, Carter. I for one, love the Carters. I admire you and Roselyn for working FOR YEARS for Habitat for Humanity, Yes, Obama is a great man for "President." America craves the truth, now, more that ever.
Wonder Why?

Maybe, when Obama wins the race, you can take, The Clintons aside
and tell them that by working for the poor and unfortunate, they will
have a rewarding life in helping out in NEW ORLEANS!!!!! It would
take years, but they might earn the kind of respect we have for you
and Roselyn. You are great people!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work.
It is commendable!!!!!!!

Richardson did it and it took COURAGE and the rest of the Superdelegates should do it too. We can't have a liar in office.
We just can't suffer thru that again.

Retired Professional White Woman for Obama from Day 1.

Carter is a joke. another liberal america basher who sympathizes with palestine, and disses Israel just like obama. Wouldn't be surprised if Carter was a member of Reverend Wrights anti semitic church. I forgot they don't like rich old white men either. just an observation from this "garlic nose".

Carter be careful what you wish for. The Clinton will come at you and criticize your endorsement of Barack Obama.

They are known to criticised every endorsements Obama get as meaningless. Hey Obama welcomes every supperdelegates' endorsement.

Whatever reason is a enough reason to endorse Obama for President Of the United State of America.

God Bless you and yours.

You see? This campaign is over. One by one, the superdelgates are doing what they're supposed to do – represent the will of the people. The Hillary supporters can throw themselves on the floor and scream, kick their little legs and feet, and hold their collective breath 'til they all turn blue – it won't change a thing. Barak Obama is the democratic presidential nominee. Period. End of story.

Well I am sure the Obama supporters will welcome him or at least I will. I hope he formally endorses Obama soon.

Obama 08

Have you lost your mind . As one fellow Georgian to another we don't need Obama.

Ah, finally someone who I respect 'seems' to be in the Obama camp.

what is the Clinton campaign's excuse now ??

they already used the judas label on Richardson so what are they going to call Carter now ??

GIVE IT UP HILLARY ! ! ! — YOU HAD YOUR SHOT AND BLEW IT

who cares what jimmy says!

i'm voting for hillary!

In January?

This is a news? No more news? No more new backer for Obama?

Hillary Supporter: "Well he has the right to choose but no way Obama is winning in November. Me and all of my friends are going are going to vote for McCain if Obama steals the election from Hillary" WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

lets see how many of posts like these come about.

JC for BO now HC need a BC to fix all the head ache he has caused her.

Thanks for your wisdom and your fair judgement of the candidates Mr. President. Thanks for your service to our beloved country Mr. President.

It is going to be a sad day in America when Obama becomes the Dems nominee, because he will not beat McCain in the fall.

He was being interviewed by a newspaper in Africa, where Obama is hugely popular. What else is he supposed to say??

CNN, don't get in such a tizzy. It's nothing.

Everyone is jumping on the Obama bandwagon because they are afraid of the repercussions if they don't.

Sad.

I hear it's good to have the peanut farmer industry on your side! Nice for the grand ol' man to weigh in…he's a national treasure, and I suppose something of a treasure for Obama at this point.

When the greats of the past back you, you are on to something.

Go Obama!!!

Wow!!!!! Dude that is a big endorsement. Way to Go Carter!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always respected President Carter. I think his decision to support OBAMA is the wrong decision but I still respect him and his right to make his choice in good conscience.

We all can now read the writing on the wall. Clinton, I think it is finally now for you to fold up and call it a day. Why do you want to still continue with the same washinghton game and expect a miracle. And by the way, Where is your tax returns? We refused to be fooled this time around. It is not all about the Bushes and the Clintons.

This is awesome…I didn't realize he was a super-delegate! You're right Scott, I wonder what the Clinton supporters will say. They become mean…when a new superdelegate or endorsement does come out for Obama….

It figures, the worst president in U.S. history supports the weakest candidate..I'm not surprised.

I respect president Catrter. I strongly beleive He is most respected president for the last three decades not only in USA but throughout the world.

Howver, I disagree with president Carter about his perception on Obama

I can tell that Obama will be the divider not the uniter. He has a tremendous amount of anger aboute white people in bottom of his heart. He will be totaly failure as president because he has attitude of revenge. He does not give any values on the pride that he pronounced loudly quite often

The party is lining up behind Obama. Lets win back the White House!!

We need more good people in politics and less people like Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Hear me out, I was a supporter, but I am not crazed. I can see the tactics that they are employing and I think they are gross and shameful. I can barely look at them now.

I want more for America. Hope not fear. The courage to heal and move forward. I am so happy about this prospect. I am tired of the fighting and lies. People are not perfect, but we can move closer to perfection.

Although I disagree with his endorsement of Obama, coupled with the slew of other prominent Democratic endorsements of Obama, it seems like it's getting harder and harder for Clinton to make a case. Except, of course, to the people who actually matter, the voters.

If Carter sees something in Obama, maybe I should take a closer look.

Clinton-Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Way to go, Jimmy. Considering that Carter is not only an extraordinary person, but is probably the most well-respected living former President, his comments bode well for Obama.

Wrong, he will not heal this party, nor will he win in November. Waste your vote if you want. I guess the dems. don't want to win in November?

Queue the Hillary Supporters who respond with "Carter doesn't matter."

I think it's great that he supports Obama. It goes to show that Carter in all his wisdom can see through divisive politics and support a new dawn for America; not just for us and our children but for the rest of the world too.

Jimmy Carter's potential endorsement is another great name backing the Obama express!!!

I respect President Carter, but his is just another political jab. He does not like Bill and is making Hillary paid for it.

you support obama I'll stop my contributions to your causes.

The kiss of death

We all respect your service to our country and your impact around the global.

..and the Obama train keeps rolling….

Pres. Carter, let's go, the train is leaving the station.

For the past week I’ve been searching the web and HRC’s web site for a copy of her Ear Marks, Tax Returns for 05’-07’ and the donor list to the Clinton’s library. Would someone PLEASE indicate where I can find the said information?

I found Sen. McCain’s and Obama’s.

Thx you!

I think Obama has gotten like 5 superdelegates his way in the last week? GO Obama!! We all cannot be wrong here ya know? Maybe there is hope of Americans after all with a majority with good heads on their shoulders.

Well… they do have a lot in common… neither of them are experienced at the time of the nomination… in Carter is sure showed… let's hope if Obama should win that it's different this time.

Even the former president is agitated with the Clintons. Enough already, PA pull the plug.

Los Angeles, CA

We welcome the the endorsement of a great former president like Pres. Carter.

He is a great American and Humanitarian.

Obama 2008

Obama: the nation's healer.

I don't blame Carter. We have seen the ugliest of the ugly come out of the Clintons.

So, is Carter now going to be considered a traitor?How does one counter the "endorsement" of a former president who isn'tmarried to a candidate. I guess Carter doesn't have the "experience" to make a wise choice……

Cast his vote behind Obama is political correct thing to do for the party. But it is also a sure bid for lossing in the fall election.

Smart People for Smart Obama…………………..

I love you Carter

Thank you Carter

Obama 09

Now If the support of a Past President, is all that's required…

Then Hillary Has a Sure Winner… They call Him….. William…

Yeah, he really didn't leave much to the imagination there.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you Jimmy!

it's about time…

Smart man! Go Hilldog!! Hand over the election!

hallelujah

Is this another disappointment for the Clinton? Is Carter a second Judas?
Let's make it clear, we do not want Hillary. We need real change. Is that so difficult to understand?

I feel bad for Howard Wolfson–constantly trying to place an apathetical or even positive spin on obviously bad news. He's got his work cut out for him in this campaign. I wonder if he's been paid?

Jimmy Carter- nice man but one of the worst presidents ever. I don't think his endorsement is much to write home about.

A vote for Hillary Clinton means never having to say you're sorry (or I was wrong) to the citizens of the United States of America, or to the people of the world.

You need support for you're self…
Failure Supports, A Bigger Failure…
Now that's what they call Progress…

Bill Clinton needs to take lessons from Carter on how to act post-presidency. Say what you will about Carter's time in office, but he has reached out to the world. Peace not Apartheid is a book that came out last year and it's amazing.

Carter, keep up the good work and whoever you vote for, thank you for all you do.

Great choice President Carter! Great choice.

I have 3 questions for you kool aid drinking Obamapologists. I will be impressed if you can answer one in an informative and rational manner.

1) All I hear you whine right now is “What about her tax returns”….”where are her tax returns. Its a fair point, but please explain to me what could be possibly near as damaging in them, as compared to having Wright as your pastor (not pasture Obamabot) for 20 years.

2) I also consistently hear “Do the Math”. Fair enough the math is impossible for Hillary, but why don’t YOU do the math. Please get Obama to the needed victory in the electoral college in the GE. NOTE – OH, FL, MI, and VA cannot be counted as he will not win them….see current polls. (I’ll start you off with CA, IL, and Vermont). GOOD LUCK

3) If CNN and MSNBC were as in the bag for Clinton as they are for Obama…..Do you honestly think Obama would be in a statsistcal tie like Hillary is now.

WAKE UP AMERICA

Its Raining superdelegates in the Obama Camp!!! Get out the delegate net. To bad the Clinton camp is dying of superdelegate thirst. Its been a drought on their side for quite a long time. She has yet to find an oasis or she will perish in this heat!

If Bill Clinton followed Jimmy Carter's example as a former president, he'd still be respected. Bill Clinton is not respected because he is "for hire" and that wil be evident when the tax returns are released…if they're released. They'll probably be redacted!

Thank you, Mr. President!!

I met Jimmy in Mexico City at a hotel restaurant.

I was in town for a conference.

I ended up paying for his dinner.

I like Jimmy as a person, but he was a terrible president.

Now watch all of the Hillary supporters turn on Carter.
