Jimmy Carter Gets A Wave And A Walk-Through After That Katrina Film ???

[WillyT]

:wtf:

:argh:

:mad:

:nuke:

:puke:

:evilfrown:

Interesting priorities, eh???

:shrug:

[eshfemme]

1. I'm not sure why either... it might be because of all the Clinton psychodrama... there wasn't room

for him... :(

[Metric System]

7. Give. it. a. rest. There's no Clinton speaking tonight, so that wouldn't affect Carter's speaking

time.

[Skip Intro]

10. I have NO DOUBT that the CLINTONS are behind it.

:eyes:

[sniffa]

18. Your Clinton hatred is a mental disorder

THE PRIMARIES ARE OVER!!!!!1!!1!!!1!

[moriah]

21. Doesn't look like the rolled-eye smilie....

Works as well as the Sarcasm one...

[moriah]

16. Gag. Me. With. A. Forklift.

Yet another demonstration that it's not just Hillary supporters who think the world revolves around them.

Edit for pronoun clarification "Them" = the Clintons.

[nc4bo]

2. I was just so happy to see him at all. I thought he wasn't even going to be there. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

3. You never know.

He may not have wanted to speak.

[babylonsister]

5. That's what I think, too. nt

[endthewar]

13. Nancy Pelosi seemed oblivious to the speaking schedule

She was interviewed on MSNBC after she talked. 4 questions to her, all 4 about Hillary (of course). She mentioned near the end that she needed to end the interview so that she didn't miss Carter's talk.

[Heather MC]

19. Maybe he gave up his time to teddy K???

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. That really sucked

I like Obama's sister but why is she speaking and Carter is not?

I also wondered why they didn't play some presidential music for him instead of "Georgia".

[sniffa]

36. Something about Israel

as some people say.

[speedoo]

6. Wierd. I'd really like to know who made that bad decision.

And why. I'm always ready to listen to President Carter.

[Neshanic]

12. I an not a big fan of Carter, but that film was important and should of been scheduled...

when more people would see it. He deserves more than that.

[jillan]

8. That was very disappointing.

[Breeze54]

15. You can watch the film on C-Span

;)

[RollWithIt]

9. He's 83 years old?

Change? Any of this getting to you?

[endthewar]

14. Oh noes!

Enjoy your stay. :crazy:

[Breeze54]

20. What do you mean? Age isn't the issue... it's the attitude that matters

Jimmy Carter has a good one; McDim does not!

[WillyT]

22. No... Please Explain It To Me... And I'm 52, So Please Use Simple Words...

I know you can...

:wtf:

[sufrommich]

24. Pathetic.nt

[Breeze54]

11. I guess they showed his film and maybe he didn't want to speak? He is 84 yrs old now...

:shrug:

He has class, I'm sure he's OK with it. ;)

Besides, the convention is limited in air time....

Jimmy Carter. Birth Date: October 1, 1924

[WillyT]

29. But It Would Have Been A Perfect Way To Beat Katrina Over The Heads The Of The Republicans...

The only thing I can surmise, is that they plan to do it later in the convention.

But if they don't... it will have been a major missed opportunity, and a major mistake.

:shrug:

[Breeze54]

34. They won't beat the GOP with Katrina at all....

I seriously doubt it. We all know what happened there and Iraq were wrong, wrong, wrong but the convention isn't about dredging it all up in that tone... I don't think. The convention will try to remain positive; so we can win in November and FIX Katrina and Iraq in January, 2009! ;) To bring all that up gives McDim more ammunition. That is self-defeating. :hug:

[WillyT]

37. You And I Know The Difference Between The D's And R's, But...

If we're so damned positive in the faces of people who do not know the difference, why the hell would they want to vote for the Democrats?

Hell... by Dems failing to fight the good fight, I'm sometimes not sure why I continue to vote for the Democrats!

:shrug:

[Breeze54]

39. But there's a time and a place and this is not the time and the place....

at least not tonight... we'll see what comes in the days ahead. :hug:

[Radical Activist]

17. He should have been given time to speak.

I'd much rather hear him than either Clinton.

[Breeze54]

23. He may not have wanted to speak and we need to hear from Sen. Clinton

Just roll with it without groaning.... this convention

is about NOW... not yesterday, so much. ;)

Besides, Jimmy Carter is live on PBS right now in an inteview!

[babylonsister]

25. He's speaking on PBS, in depth. One eye looks bad on my TV.

Unless it's my TV, but I don't think so. Maybe the eye thing prohibited him.

[Breeze54]

30. His right eye is bloodshot.

:(

[bhunt70]

26. Does anyone know what is wrong with his eye?

He was talking to Jim Lehrer and his left eye looked red/black and inflamed.

[tsuki]

27. This is the President that called for energy independence long before

Obama every thought about politics, and this is the best they can do. Shame.

[Breeze54]

28. Relax! He's on PBS and talking a lot!!

:D

[sofa king]

31. Maybe too much.

Did I come into that conversation late?

[Breeze54]

35. Yes.

:hug:

[tsuki]

38. I guess I'll have to catch it tomorrow. He should have spoken at

the convention.

[Breeze54]

40. PBS will have podcast tomorrow.

;)

[EC]

32. Maybe that's all he wanted to do

could be he didn't want to speak...

[davidpdx]

33. Ok, pipedown people

CNN just said they got a note reminding them that in 2000 Carter did a tribute film and declined to speak and that is probably the case this year.
