did he or didn't he what?
Whats the argument? The only thing different between the articles really is the title.
There's no contradiction. Both stories report that Carter had no official statement to make, but he made a few informal comments about Reagan nonetheless.
The only difference is which was emphasized in the headline.
I guess it depends on what the meaning of "a formal comment" is. And also whether or not he made his comments after being asked or did he make the comments without being asked. Who knows why RATS can't just speak plainly.
If Carter takes a page from Kerry's playbook, he did before he didn't.
Bah...with few exceptions, the only condolences we're going to see from the Left side are those smarmy saccharine-sweet blobs of sap that they could issue for someone's dead parakeet.
Reagan deserves better. That's why I'm not paying any mind to the eulogies made by the Leftists.
He made no official statement. He commented, in an unofficial capacity, when asked about Reagan's death by reporters. What's the question?
Here's Jim-mah's question:
"We go through ups and downs," he said. "I was distressed when we lost (to Reagan). But I think it's important to ask, 'What am I in the eyes of Jesus Christ?'"
Here's my answer:
A hell-bound son of perdition.
I see what happened. He said he wouldn't answer questions AFTER the service. But he did answer at least one question BEFORE the service. RATS are weird like that.
Carter begged the Soviets for help in eliminating Reagan - it is open source now and you can find it on the net.
Now you know WHY carter can't say anything - he has no right to live in the USA.

on only ONE of carter's treasonous acts...
I think a better question is....Why won't he release a formal statement like every other normal person on the planet in his position would do?
He piddled out several things he could have put into a statement. This was actually fine....
"It was a very sobering day for the country to lose a former president," Carter said. "I want to express my admiration for him and his wife and associate myself with the grief that America feels."
What's his problem???

Carter was a moral weakling that did not view our system of individual Freedom as superior to the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union.
Carter isn't fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as Reagan.
""He presented some very concise, very clear messages that appealed to the American people," Carter said."
Of course, Carter and the rest of the leftists still think that those concise clear messages were lies that appealed to the worst in simple-minded American boobs, but he can't say that in so many words, so he just implies it.
"Carter normally issues statements through the Carter Center in Atlanta, but as of Sunday the Center had not released any response. Carter told a handful of reporters gathered at the church Sunday that he would make no formal comment or answer questions after the service."
Carter did not issue a formal statement about Reagan's passing. He only offered some off-handed comments. This is not appropriate, but what can one expect of Carter?
I think he is too insignificant, to even bother with.
I want to mourn the loss of our dear President Reagan without blowing a gasket at the rank hypocrisy of the lefties.
This is like Mike Moore talking about President Bush. Carter and Moore are no different to me.
Clinton's only hope of a legacy is to be compared to the only other democratic president in my lifetime the above mentioned Jimmy Carter(D-pos)
