LA Times, 9.19 Dr. Phillips Commentary on Jimmy Carter

Opposition to Obama: It's not all black and white

Thank you, your comment has been submitted.

Our former president when he was running for governor of Georgia is reported to have invited the head of the KKK to ride with him to an evening commitment when he was visiting a Georgia city. After the ride the KKK official let it be known that Carter would be the best pick in that particular gubernatorial election. Obviously, Carter's inaugural speech as the incoming governor was pro civil rights, confirming his time with the racist leader nothing more than simply a deception to garner votes. Yet, in view of that deceitful exercise and his comments in recent months containing favorable stances toward the Palestinians and Hamas, makes one wonder about his true feelings toward the nation of Israel. The current President as well as his administration are wise to steer clear of Carter's unfortunate and divisive remarks on racism. Approaching age 85 it is time for Jimmy Carter to retire. Retirement would truly be for him a personal recognition that his comments in recent months have become irrelevant, nonsensical and at times embarrassing.
