I'd rather have Clinton speak than Carter. Carter has never gotten over losing to Reagan, and he has been a small-minded, bitter man ever since. Carter has devoted his post-presidency towards demonizing and undermining every Republican president, violating the time-honored principle that ex-presidents butt-out.

We're all reminded at this moment in time, it was Carter who said to reporters over the weekend that he will not be issuing a formal statement regarding Reagan's death. Why in the world would he be invited to speak at the funeral?

Carter acted as a swine after he left office. He is a small man. Clinton shouldn't be allowed to speak, but I don't see any reason for Bush I to speak, as well. Bush I did nothing to advance the Reagan legacy, losing to the Hillbilly in 1992. Bush the Younger and Lady Thatcher should be the soul eulogies.

Be Seeing You,

Yeah right. Clinton is the guy who received BJ's off of the Oval Office while Reagan didn't even take his jacket off in the office out of respect. This would make a mockery of what Reagan stood for.

[ambrose]

I agree... Clinton would shed those Ron Brown tears and give a lovely speech that might even choke us up. I can't imagine Carter having anything nice to say.
