Jimmy Carter is a friend of the family of sorts. I have met him on many occasions, and I'll actually be at a dinner party with him tomorrow night. I greatly admire him as a human being and hope to get a chance to simply say hi and shake his hand. I wouldn't expect him to remember who I was, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he did, only because he has an ability to get to know people when he meets them.
That being said, I, along with all of our family and friends do not hold a high opinion of his politics.
On the contrary, we think he has alot of screws loose. He has done some things and said some things in the past several years that have simply made my blood boil.
He could have turned in the right direction like Zell did, but it he prefers insanity instead.
