Maybe Bush will grow a pair and enforce this 209 year-old law (all the better if he goes after Pelosi with it as well for her treasonous acts last year):
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).
The RATS do it all the time, but watch what happens when a Repub does it.
Repubs lack leaders with spines and rocky mountain oysters...
buuuuuuuuuuuummmmp !!
Jimmah Cahtah has been the worst EX-Prez for years.
As much as I detest Kringtone, I despise Cahtah much more.
You are absolutely correct. Carter is the worst PREZ, AND
the worst EX-Prez EVER !!!
Amen, my friend! Amen!

34 Months vs. 444 Days:
There Jimmy Carter Goes Again,
Blaming America for His Failures
If one were forced to choose low point of Jimmy Carter's presidency, it might be his July 15, 1979, "national malaise" speech. The country was suffering under inflation, recession, and an "energy crisis"--and we were about to undergo the national humiliation of the Iran hostage crisis. But what was Carter's diagnosis of America's problem?
It was not his policies that were to blame. The problem was the American people, who had suffered an inexplicable "crisis of confidence":
"We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our Nation. The erosion of our confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of America."
The problem, in his mind, was neither the discredited socialist programs of the left or his weak and vacillating leadership. The problem was that we weren't strong enough to make his policies work, so we had to be scolded for allowing ourselves to succumb to a "national malaise." (Carter didn't actually use that phrase, which was coined by one of his advisors, but the speech came to be known by that title.)
Last night, before the Democratic National Convention, Jimmy Carter repeated that historic feat of evasion.
He began the body of the speech by declaring the need for "honesty" in our leaders. Ironically, the rest of the speech is a study in dishonesty, as Carter expects us to ignore the pressing and urgent threats of today, the evidence of history, and the record of his own career.

The putz and the pedophile...
It’s obvious Carter is trying to outdo the State Department when it comes to carving up Israel. Shame on both.
Sad but true. What happened to ‘let my people go?’
There, fixed it
Jimmah’s a “tool” aw-right.
He needs to sit down, pay attention to instructions, and STFU
I agree with you. His passport should be revoked. Let him stay with his terrorist buddies, who are not recognizing Israel, and will never recognize Israel, no matter what he says.
carter has all the credibilty of a used car salesman in a flood zone.
