insult his opponent in the 2008 election he warned that barack obama's presidency would be like a jimmy carter second term. the joke didn't need any explanation. democrats responded to the differences between obama and president carter, not by defending the former president. even if carter became known for having one of the most active post presidential careers in american history, his time in the white house has remained a symbol of failed presidential leadership. over the past few months there have been many commentators who have compared obama to carter rather than fdr, and the nuns or ronald reagan. the point is clear. in contemporary political debate and in most history textbooks carter is consistently remembered as a president who failed to articulate a compelling political vision and who was unable to hold his party together. the image of a worn down carter hold up in the white house desperately trying to resolve the iran hostage crisis in to the final hours of his term became almost as iconic as the images of president john f. kennedy huddled with his brother robert trying to avert a n

who is jimmy carter? we have carter on the cover of the book kissing brezhnev. carter was anything but hard on the soviets. he was very accommodating toward the soviets. june, 1979, carter kisses brezhnev at the vienna summit and then six months later talk about betrayed with a kiss. carter is in the white house celebrating christmas and get news in that the red army has just invaded afghanistan. and then here just three months after the soviets invade afghanistan and kennedy is concerned about the rising cold war intentions which according to the archives are the fault of carter? wow! wow! put it in context, what was going on march 5th of 1980? democratic presidential primaries. are jimmy carter the incumbent democratic president was being challenged by senator ted kennedy for this. so what happened in 1980 with carter seems to have also happened to some extent in 1983 with ronald reagan as well. in both cases. well, i could give other examples of this but i'm watching the clock and i should probably stop and i want to take your questions but that was a look at

i happen to have a book that just came out on jimmy carter as well. i had some taming. -- some timing. i read it right away. you know, it's drier reading. it's not structured, and it's not as punchy as "decision points." but that said to be able to read through the presidency and see how president carter was thinking and reacting, some of his nastier comments about the members of congress that he was dealing with to his opinions on foreign leaders to how he perceived the 1980 election as he was unfolding, very different than how we remember it as the kind of inevitable landslide for ronald reagan. i find that much more helpful. i would love to have a diary like that. so i'm a fan of that kind of diary. i think we really learn a lot from it. >> i unfortunately, haven't read it, but i will say probably one of my favorite diaries is john quincy adams. he has 11 volumes. to get through all of his works are something. : >> caller: i just want to make a few comments. one of them is that i have found both the bush book and and presidency is uneventful and th

the speaker that day, the creator of that chemistry, was president jimmy carter. president carter returned to the library a few years later in another unforgettable apparent. he and president gerald ford once posed a political war that they have waged, met on the stage, and exchanged a very common discourse with the disposition to seek common ground on the issues that were confronting this nation. it was a display of the american political system at its very finest. no one who was here that day will ever forget that. and, how we need so need that stability and that respect for each other today. so, it is a great honor for us to welcome this splendid man back here once again. i say it from the memory of the rich distinctions that he has already conferred on this library and this school by his visit. 39 president of the united states, winner of the nobel prize for peace, a tireless global traveler for the cause of justice, the provider of homes for the homeless, and man who made the lady bird johnson proud of the lectureship she created, ladies and gentlemen, please

he convinced them, and he got it through the house, and he got it through the senate, and even jimmy carter was completely stunned by this because jimmy carter probably wasn't as good at getting legislation through congress as ed was. [laughter] this does not mean that everything was sweetness and light in new york city as we all know in the 1970s. we all had to live with the disastrous effects of the austerity and the earlier decisions by the ford administration not to really give the city the kind of, the kind of capital that it needed to maintain it. itself. and in order to restore the city's credit, the mayor had to take the city through four years of, i'm sorry, three years of additional deep, deep austerity. and to increase that pain. that's something i hope, you know, obviously there are times when the budget has to be cut, but that kind of reduction of firing all of the street cleaners. i remember at the time i said to bobby wagner who was councilman at large for manhattan, bobby, why do the intersections flood every time it rains? bobby always knew the answer to these kinds of ques

united states and the united states which is very much to keep him in power according to even jimmy carter the american truly want mubarak to stay but that is no longer possible carol but they do not want to see the regime swept away. all right well washington has been supporting mubarak's regime for almost thirty years but then we've heard the u.s. president sort of changing his rhetoric so why do you think that is. well it's almost identical to what happened during the xargs reign the united states have as as the revolution in iran gained strength and power the americans became more and more muted in their support of the shah but it was much too little and much too late to the iranian people never forgave the americans the role that is being played now by the american administration is very similar they're not on the side of the people in the people recognize that they're playing a double game they're on the one hand very much on the side of the establishment on the side of. the mouse so they man but on the other hand they tell the egypt and people that they they hear their voices and th

they're incredibly nervous about egypt i mean egypt the peace accord signed by begun set out in jimmy carter in one hundred seventy nine is a cornerstone of israel's strategic concept first for over thirty years they haven't had to worry about their western border and now all of a sudden that's in play it's not to say that i think the new egypt is going to reject that treaty but just it's something israel hasn't had to really worry about for the last three decades and so it's really created a bit of cognitive dissonance i mean they take pride in being a democracy but at the same time they're very very nervous about the prospect of democracy breaking out all around them right now and thank you very much for joining us and of course. who knows how long it will take until the transition until democracy in egypt does take collagen what it's going to look like no different keep following it thanks so much. and there's still much more to come on tonight still internet. freedom for everyone maybe maybe with just a few conditions and no one surprise an extension of several key parts of the patriot a

my suggestion is, former president jimmy carter. president jimmy carter has evolved in my estimation into the finest humanitarian, a former president of our time. he was truly a visionary for years ago on energy policy, with his decision to put solar panels on the roof of the white house only to have president reagan tear them down. he also is a visionary regarding the political strife in israel. he wrote a book about this and was vilified by an number of people for it, and yet, he and desmond tutu, whom somebody else suggested, are in a fairly perfect alignment in their vision about israel. i would like to pare that suggestion and make it a dual suggestion in terms of progressive, i think tom hartman , in conjunction with former president jimmy carter, would be able to advise the president very, very well. when i talk about president carter, too, i think that he could give some much insight to this present president. i would love to see president barack obama truly worthy of the nobel peace prize he has already accepted. i think by

i discovered as they come in the door, it's a jimmy carter event. there's a silver lining to every lie. i got off on the diane ring book program because he was indisposed, and i was disposed. i wish him all the best for his next term and i hope you'll come to promote his book. but anyway, we would just chat a little bit about his work for a bit, but we want to give you time to ask questions. we may anticipate some of the questions you want to ask, but we just have to see how it goes. but for about 10 our press 20 minutes, not too much longer, we might just talk around the subject of it. i wanted to actually ask sir john first, please, why on earth this organization, commissioned the work in the first place? >> serious question. it might not be as obvious as to many people in united states because perhaps as many of you will know, many people here will know the culture around intelligence work in the united kingdom has always been fundamentally different and it's always been very, very secretive. the service has made obsession really come a passion f
