U.S. President Barack Obama needs to make good on the promises that won him the Nobel Peace Prize, fellow laureate and former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said on Thursday. Carter called on the current American president to back the Palestinian’s bid to the UN for statehood and seize the opportunity provided by the Arab Spring to facilitate Palestinian-Israeli peace.
The shaking up of authoritarian rule in the Arab world has created opportunities for resolving conflicts in the Middle East, Carter said, comparing the Arab Spring to the political reality in which he, as president, helped broker the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
Carter reiterated his support for the Palestinians’ push for recognition of statehood in the United Nations, saying he hoped they would secure backing in the UN General Assembly to at least enhance their status in the body. However, he said the U.S. veto in the Security Council would block full membership.
"The United States will veto any move in the Security Council if they get the votes there, which I think is a mistake. But that's the privilege of the president to decide," he said during a brief visit to Oslo to meet Norwegian diplomats.

"It was given primarily because of some of the commitments he had made verbally, his speeches and so forth about taking the leadership role and dealing with global warming and dealing with the immigration problem, enhancing human rights, promoting peace in the Middle East," Carter said, a prizewinner in 2002.
Do these people ever listen to themselves? Promises and intentions, not results, earn the recognition. Liberalism in a nutshell.
No-one with a shred of intelligence listens to what that fool says.
Does anyone have the foggiest idea why President Carter hates Israel so much? Anyone?
Right, because that's what the Muslim Brotherhood is all about...peacefully resolving conflicts with the Israelies.
I hope he does take Carter's advice and support the Palestinians. It will be that much easier to toss this Marxist POS out of office.
Carter is in need of a medieval klyster to clear his thinking..
It's probably because he hates Jews so much, which I think is due to his warped Christian beliefs.
Thanks edpc. In Carter’s own words, Obama has divided this nation rich from poor, black from white...
Carter: Obama Must Make Good On Nobel Prize And Back Palestinian Statehood
The dean of stupidity has spoken.
Jimmy Carter is not a Christian. He never has been a Christian, and his time to accept Christ as Savior and have his demonic hatred replaced with love for the people of the Savior is rapidly running out.
Carter will have all, never-ending eternity to contemplate the fact that he wasted his entire life as a fool, on the wrong side of everything, and especially the one issue which God Himself promises to curse anyone who chooses to be on the wrong side of.
"Every signal across the geopolitical, socioeconomic, and religious spectrum–even signals involving the geophysical and astrophysical— scream through the sirens of forewarning. We are at the very end of the Church Age–on the brink of the Tribulation. Yet most in America–including most believers in Jesus Christ—are going about business as usual. Except for the relatively few voices forewarning of the impending cataclysm, there is no recognition of or interest in the end-times storm warnings."
"Jesus, as we have seen, said human activity will be like it is at present when He next breaks into earth’s history like a thief in the night. Again, we look at the Lord’s words in the book of Matthew:
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." (Matthew 24:36–42)
"As we have examined, this break-in upon mankind’s history cannot be describing the Second Advent. It will not be business as usual at that time, when the planet is decimated by wars and God’s judgment and wrath. Jesus is here speaking of the Rapture—His imminent, catastrophic break-in upon earth’s history."
"So, we come to our present hour. America is the apex nation of the world. That is, it is the most materially blessed nation and one of the most spiritually blessed nations ever to exist. This, despite the fact that it has degenerated in many ways to become perhaps the most wicked in human history. The United States is so blessed with material wealth that every nation on earth is inextricably linked to its economy in one way or another."
"It is true that its dominance is under threat and is eroding quickly. The economic meltdown and unavoidable implosion of America’s monetary hegemony is imminent. But everything of global financial significance still hinges on the health and fate of the American dollar…"
"Despite incessant assaults, the American economy hasn’t collapsed. It should have by now, but it hasn’t. It is, despite ominous signs ahead, business as usual—just as Jesus said it would be at the end of the age. If America’s economy crashes—as [many say] it will very shortly—the entire world will collapse to rubble. The business-as-usual element of Christ’s prophecy about it being like the days of Noah and Lot would be out the proverbial window."
"If the U.S. economy collapsed, taking the world’s buying and selling capability into the darkest times in history, it would take years—-if ever—-for everything to recover so that things would again come into business-as-usual configuration. Yet the devastating, world-rending collapse is coming. It cannot be stopped…"
"I disagree that the folly of man or the deliberate manipulations of human diabolists will bring the fearful disaster. And the disaster will not happen until God’s prophetic timing allows. It will continue to be business as usual despite increasing harbingers of economic calamity. Perhaps conditions will even look like they are improving. But if so, it will be smoke and mirrors—a sham “recovery.” The damage is done. Recovery is impossible."
"This all means that Jesus Christ is poised to do exactly what He foretold. The prophetic signals and conditions prevalent in America and the world should have the attention of every believer. Jesus is about to fulfill His glorious promise as recorded in John 14:1–3."
"The Rapture, I believe Jesus is telling us, will be the sword of judgment that pierces the building, festering boil of humanistic rebellion. When the church is taken to heaven, the minds of those left behind who want to control will no longer have restraint on their thoughts and ambitions. There will cease to be a governor on man’s conscience, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7–8, because the Holy Spirit will allow the evil within mankind to do its dastardly work…"
"The Church, with the Restrainer resident within each believer, will continue to be salt and light—to exert influence over America’s societal and cultural conditions. That influence, although observably becoming less and less effective, will be sufficient to prevent all-out, Nazi-like persecution against Christians in this nation."
"When the Church-Age saints go to Christ upon His call to them (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 4:1-2), America and the world will be devoid of the church’s buffering influence. Those who accept Christ during the Tribulation will undergo the most horrific persecution of human history."
"Again, if a calamity like the one [many] forecasts were to befall this nation before Christ’s foretold intervention into earth’s history, such a collapse would take the U.S. and the world out of the time of business as usual Jesus said will be in place when He pays the earth that surprise visit."
"Jesus was telling us in Luke 17:26–30 and Matthew 24:36–42 specifically about His coming for the church, and the general time frame of that event. With all that is in alignment precisely as Jesus and the prophets described, I am convicted in my spirit that now is that time."
"Those who haven’t become part of God’s family–believing in Jesus Christ for their personal salvation—face a fearful future indeed. They will be left behind in an instantly changed world gone mad with chaos infinitely worse than [many observers of world conditions] predict."
Jesus will come for His bride when business is as usual. And with all of the factors that Christ said would explode during the years immediately preceding His physical return to earth in place and ready to go, the only thing that is holding everything back is Christ Himself.
The window for the Rapture is steadily closing. God is keeping everything in check for now, giving that last person who is going to accept Him as Savior time to do so. But the barbarians are breaking down the gates and "business as usual" will end soon.
Would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he’s senile...
...but, alas, Carter has always been an Anti-Semitic moron.
Shove “O” as far left as it is possible for him to be!
“If something is falling, give it a push.” Nietzsche
The POS is getting bold in his dwindling days. He just might do it. I put nothing past him.
Gee. Wonder what his funeral will be like? Hope we find out soon. n/s
If Mabus makes it to UN Secretary General, then I would start to think it is him
but either way, boy is this guy a good candidate
The Bible doesn’t say that people will loove him, not all the people, but that he will FORCE people to get the mark and MANY will refuse
describes this guy completely
Do you ever get the feeling that Jimmy is sitting there and rooting for Obama - to replace him at abysmal nadir of recent US Presidents?
