Carter: Hillary Needs to Separate from Bill

There's no doubt Hillary Clinton wants to be president one day, former President Jimmy Carter said Friday

But she should take a few years first to "separate" herself from her husband, Carter urged.

"I don't have any doubt that she has thoughts about the White House in her mind for the future," Carter told CNN. "I haven't talked to her about it, but I think that's common knowledge.

Carter said that Mrs. Clinton has done a "good job" as Senator. But he advised her "to separate herself from her husband" before she runs for president in 2008.

The 39th president said the former first lady needs to "let the general public know that she can stand on her own feet [before she seeks the White House] and that she has her own agenda and she's a good political player on her own."

Carter didn't say what Mrs. Clinton should do with her husband should she win in White House.

Build more Habitats, Mr, President.

That is good work that you can do well.

Carter didn't say what Mrs. Clinton should do with her husband should she win in White House.

My advise to the most detached "couple" in the history of humanity would be to first lock away all the cigars.

Carter: Hillary Needs to Separate from Bill

I'm sure she will. She'll make sure he's gone - permanently!

[Samwise]

Has this man NO friends who can say to him, "JIMMY, for the LOVE of ALL THAT IS DECENT, do the world a favor and SHUT UP!!!"

And what is it about failed Democratic Presidents who'll say anything to get press coverage?

[Cicero]

Carter didn't say what Mrs. Clinton should do with her husband should she win in White House.

Headfirst into the garbage can would be my suggestion.

But let us get on our knees and pray that we never reach that particular moment.

Is that Ellen Degeneres between Jimmy and Bill?

If Hillary decides she wants it all- and wants it in 2004, she will divorce Bill for the sole reason of getting the sympathy vote. Look for papers to be filed in the late Spring...

[ladyinred]

I am stunned! Has Jimmy lost his mind? You don't say things like that! Geeze, Rosalynn, get the old man into a doctor. He needs meds.

[tapatio]

LOL! Now that was a good one!

[Dog Gone]

I'd love to see a current photo of her. The last one I've seen was about 10 years ago. It was a mug shot when she was arrested.

Trespassing at a nuke plant or something, I forget.

If Hillary decides she wants it all- and wants it in 2004, she will divorce Bill..

I've said for at least a year that Hillary will divorce Bill if she is serious about the WH.

I think having Bill around and the possibility of him waltzing back into the WH IF she was elected would be a downer to voters.

[tapatio]

Okay this is the most recent I have seen of Amy Carter.

[oyez]

Amy Carter. The only Presidential daughter that made Chelsea Clinton look good in comparison

I don'no about that. Amy was was awfully homely. The worst I saw of Amy was back during Gulf War with her college pals were laying in the streets in body bags with "no war for oil". placards. Chelsea hasn't stooped that low yet.

[JennysCool]

BRAVO! :-)

[ridesthemiles]

Carter and those 17% interest rates we had for a home under his leadership.

What 17%? I remember prime being over 20%. He was a complete joke- a deeply religious and naive man, but a complete joke as a leader of any category.
I wouldn't follow him out of a burning building. I would find my own way out, thank you.

[ridesthemiles]

Is that Ellen Degeneres between Jimmy and Bill?

Good question....Anyone know for sure?

[IncPen]

Is that Ellen Degeneres between Jimmy and Bill?

I dunno about that, but look behind and to her right... it's Judge Ito!

[Dog Gone]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*&^%*&$%#$H!

[CyberAnt]

I have a different theory .. I think Carter is floating a trial balloon. Remember the WH was run by polls. They never did anything without taking a poll about it.

Carter has been more than willing to do the Clinton's bidding all around the world .. even going out of his way to be rude to President Bush. I just don't see him saying this without prior approval from Hillary.

I think she's trying to get a feel for what the public reaction would be to her dumping Bill. I don't think she will do it .. but I think she might want to know what the public thinks about it .. and she might "temporarily" dump him in order to run for the WH .. and miracle of miracles .. they could reconcile afterwards.

We must NOT underestimate the demented, power hungry schemes of Hillary.

Jimmy miserable failure Carter
