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

#8  Lest we fergit, WOT > WAR FOR PRO-US = ANTI-US OWG-NWO > among other thingys, can be sub-interpreted/ascribed as THE WORLD IS DOMIN OR CONTROLLED BY AMERICA = WORLD DESTROYED OR TAKES OVER AMERICA. Issues, causes, or controversies, etc which during the Cold War were mostly suborned or selectived, are now in the forefront and mainstream. * ANTI-US OWG-NWO > ANTI-WHITE/NORDIC EUROPEAN + ANTI-JUDEOXTIAN, ETC. Thusly, instead of traditional INDIVIDUALISM, MSM > CALLS FOR NEW "COMMUNALISM" + "COMMUNITARIANISM" + "NEW TOLERANCE/
TOLERATISM", etc.........CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLICANISM + FEDERALISM/SEPARATION OF POWERS > CONSTITIONAL GOVERNMENTISM + CENTRALISM, etc.

#5  Even though Jimmah is an idiot about most things, he did serve honorably in the Navy to which I've always given him credit.

He actually did "Something®" tangible for his country, unlike BHO.

#3  Carter supporting Obama is like the Soviets supporting Cuba.

Same failed ideology, same failed ideas.

#2  A Perfect Storm of America destroying idiots and traitors have now formed around hurricane Obama. It is self powering (financing) and self referential. Our best strategy is to turn it's course east to the warmer and more welcoming waters of the EU. I say form an Air Bridge to Brussels immediately. Do it For The Children.

#1  Yesterday it was Obama lusting after Gore's guidance. Today it's endorsements from Carter, Fonda, Heinz(-Kerry)...
This decision is a slam dunk, no matter how liberal a RINO McCain is..
