I sent this via email. The form is called "disagreements..."
Not really a disagreement, but a comment. I completely agree with your assessment of Jimmy Carter as the worthless one. As a young (18 year old) democrat, very idealistic, and voting for the first time, I cast my vote for him, only to watch my disillusionment grow to full fruition long before the end of his (thankfully) only term. But with regard to his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize -- at least he did something. He actually worked on it, and got the major players involved meeting and talking. Did he succeed in the long run? Of course not, but at least he made real effort and did real work and actually had something, at least in the short term, to show for it. Can we say the same of Barak Obama? He's done absolutely nothing to contribute to world peace except talk about it...
