Jimmy Is nothing but an Anti Semite. Nice that you put a couple of things in there for him to actually make him look good, however, I can’t think of too many people who like their country less than the old peanut farmer. He settled with North Korea and gave them the upper hand in the 90’s when Clinton didn’t want to do his job. He is a terrorist appeaser and arguably the worst president ever, certainly the worst of the 20th century.

Don’t discount his work for Habitat. He has done a lot of good there, and there is where he should stay! He is no elder stateman!
