with but you didn t have to publish it now? no, i don t have to publish anything, that s true, but i have to make a living. i take it back. he s a crusty old bastard. that just blew up your theory. he doesn t get the helen thomas pass. let s put it on the table. he is a frustrated, bitter, angry, petty, small individual. how do you feel about him? who happens to represent one of the great hopes for this country. because if we survived his presidency, we can certainly endure, survive, and prosper the recession right now. he should just go continue to build decks for people. but would you at least give him credit for what he has done no. as an ex-president. what has he done? he set up the carter center, he has traveled the world. he has, i think in many instances, very quietly, he has gone out and he has done work that the government didn t want to do or other people didn t want to do, and he has set a standard.
