Now watch all of the Hillary supporters turn on Carter.

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.

Thank you, Mr. President!!

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!

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!

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

Great choice President Carter! Great choice.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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?

hallelujah

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

it's about time…

Thank you Jimmy!

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

Welcome aboard!

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

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

Smart People for Smart Obama…………………..

I love you Carter

Thank you Carter

Obama 09

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.

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……

Obama: the nation's healer.

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

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

He is a great American and Humanitarian.

Obama 2008

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

Los Angeles, CA

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.

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.

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!

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

..and the Obama train keeps rolling….

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

Dems 08

The kiss of death

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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….

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.

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.

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

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

Go Obama!!!

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.

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

Sad.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

In January?

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

who cares what jimmy says!

i'm voting for hillary!

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

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

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

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

Obama 08

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.

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.

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".

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.

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…

One again, President Carter exercises wise judgement!

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.

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!.

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.

come on aboard President Carter!!

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
(2 terms, R, 1989) 64% VP Bush (R) defeats Dukakis (D)

Dwight Eisenhower
(2 terms, R, 1961) 59 % Kennedy (D) defeats Nixon (R)

John F. Kennedy
(partial term, D, 1963) 63% (VP) Johnson (D) defeats Goldwater (R)

George Bush
(1 term, R, 1993) 56% Clinton (D) defeats Bush (R)
Gerald Ford

(partial term, R, 1977) 53% Carter (D) defeats Ford (R)
Lyndon Johnson

(1+ terms, D, 1969) 49% Nixon (R) defeats Humphrey (Johnson did not run) (D)

Jimmy Carter
(1 term, D, 1981) 34% Reagan (R) defeats Carter (D)

Richard Nixon
(partial term, R, 1974) 24% Carter (D) defeats (VP) Ford (R)

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

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?

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.

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 ………………

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

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.

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

Thanks Carter for another wise decision!

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!

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

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

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?

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.

WAKE UP AMERICA

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. ?

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.

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

Obama 08

Poor choice from Carter.

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

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.

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.

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

Ha! I love it!

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

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

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!!

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.

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!!!

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.

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….

Let see how the Clinton camp can spin this one.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

thanks for the "endorsement", Prez.

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.

Why not be a traitor like Bill Richardson?

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.

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?

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!

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.

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

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.

Hey Matt

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

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

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

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

Obama 08

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

Obama 08

THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!!!

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!

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

Alright JC. Give your endorsement to seal the deal.

Go Obama 08″

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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!!!!

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*

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

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.

So, he got VP spot?

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).

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

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 ?

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.

Pres Carter was true humanitarian. this is very meaningful.

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

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.

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………

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….

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

VERY GOOD CHOICE FORMER PRESIDENT CARTER. THANK YOU!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!!!!!

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!

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

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.

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

That pretty much sums up Billary.

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.

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.

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