Taxpayers pay ... and he gets to play.
In addition to being a thorough incompetent as President, Mr. Carter was and is a sanctimonious phony. A recent book on the Presidents told of how he made such a big deal of being seen carrying his own bag as President - this was done for public consumption, when out of view, the suit bag was immediately handed off to those accompanying him. He projected himself as working dawn to midnight in the Oval Office, yet slept for hours in that office each afternoon. He banned liquor at WH parties, but put back a few each day behind the doors of the Oval Office. I trust people who live the way they preach to others, not the sanctimonious “holier than thou” types who really aren’t holy at all.
