PLAINS, Ga. -- Jimmy Carter finishes his Saturday night dinner, salmon and broccoli casserole on a paper plate, flashes his famous toothy grin and calls playfully to his wife of 72 years, Rosalynn. "C'mon, kid," he says.

She laughs and takes his hand, and they walk carefully through a neighbor's kitchen filled with 1976 campaign buttons, photos of world leaders and a couple of unopened cans of Billy Beer and then out the back door. Three Secret Service agents wait.

They do this just about every weekend in this tiny town where they were born -- he almost 94 years ago, she almost 91. Dinner at their friend Jill Stuckey's house, with plastic Solo cups of ice water and one glass each of bargain-brand chardonnay, then the half-mile walk home to the ranch house they built in 1961.

Frank, it’s the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Price was any unmarked cash on pallets that Obummer needed to bribe the Nobel committee for his prize. Then on to the Iranian sellout of our security . What a guy.

..the soaring interest rates destroyed the home building business. I was out of a job. My Dad and everyone else in the business lost everything..

We lost a business with 4 outlets and a distributing company because of the same thing.I had to forgive Jimmah, but it sure did hurt at the time.

The Peanut Man, runner-up to the Kenyan Fraud for the dishonor of being the worst President in U.S. history.

I stand corrected, that’s absolutely right.

Although a meaningless gesture,
since when has a (D) President ever cared
about inflation?
