A former U.S. president is accusing the current president of sanctioning the widespread abuse of human rights by authorizing drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists.
Jimmy Carter, Americas 39th president, denounced the Obama administration for clearly violating 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights.

—Accuses U.S. of Widespread Abuse of Human Rights—
Compared to whom? Sudan?
carter is a traitor. he has criticized the US from beyond water’s edge and now does the same.
I don’t care who is POTUS — he did the same under Bush.
He should climb back under a rock.
Wow...the Father of Iranian Theocracy upset at our Muslim President? I am shocked that Carter has not been attacked yet by the Black Racist groups...wheres Jessie and Al
Says the man who supports and empowers Jihadi terrorists every chance he gets. But then, he IS on the Saudi payroll.
This senile old bedbug has never recovered from Reagan kicking his ass.
Jimmah! Jimmah! Jimmah!...What has your fellow traveller done?
FUJC! Sorry, it was obligatory..
I agree with him though not in the same way he meant it. A nation that allows the legal murder of 50 million of its own unborn citizens can not be a leader in human rights.
That grinning jack ass Carter endorsed 0bama in the Democrat primary over Hillary! Clinton.
Jimmy, if you think it’s bad now, just wait until he’s won reelection.
Now I know what I have suspected for a long time.
Long term exposure to peanuts will make you senile.............
Laughable! It's clearly Bush's fault!
Carter is the veritable definition of irrelevant.
Reagan kicked it hard, and I think the evidence is in, it did damage far removed. Carter should wear a placard everywhere he goes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS SPACE FOR RENT
Jimmy’s just mad because his pudding was lumpy today.
Reagan kicked it hard, and I think the evidence is in, it did damage far removed. Carter should wear a placard everywhere he goes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS SPACE FOR RENT
Come to think of it, the evidence is in there too. I hasn’t just been rented. It’s owned...
Earlier today, I was thinking how nice it has been not hearing from Jimmah Carter in awhile. Then I read this.
Now I’m wondering who was the last Democrat president who actually loved this country. I know it wasn’t the last three. Truman?
Anyone else see the irony of Carter indicting Obama the Peace Prize winner for war crimes?
