…At 81, clear-eyed and calm, America’s most beloved ex-president — who yesterday sanctified the Palestinian election as head of the 950-strong international observer mission — took the earthquake in stride.

By Carter’s reckoning, the Authority will run out of funds to pay its workers — everyone from policemen to schoolteachers, at the end of February. He’s urging Western donors to find a way to work around their objections to Hamas and continue giving, at least until Hamas makes its intentions known.

“The fact that we got democracy functioning should not really be used as an argument for withdrawing our engagement.”

Ah yes, democracy and money… and peace talks. That’ell fix everything.

Says who?

As for his presidency, he doesn’t even rank in the top 10.

Ain’t going to happen. The US is not going to fund Hamas until it renounces terrorism and the destruction of Israel. Carter is living in a dream world here if he thinks that by giving Hamas funds they are going to convert to his Christian way of thinking.

I think he will be one of the ones nobody knows much about, unless they study the presidents, after a few generations have come and gone without him. He definitely isn’t another Washington or Lincoln.
