I like the pic of Ronnie but am I the only one who finds the photo of Obama a bit scary?

I am no expert on ex-presidents but I am very impressed with what Jimmy Carter and his wife have achieved since he left office. A wealthy man in his own right he could quite have easily walked away from the whole circus and sat back. But he has done plenty for many people since being in office. A lot of it at his own expense. Actions speak louder than words.

Greetings all round

My personal opinion is irrelevant here. But this side of the pond (among those who think about it) there is a clear tendency in Hillary's favour.

That pic sure doesn't look like Carter. Looks better than him!
Btw, what has he done for people since being in office?

And that was one. I owe you one or 2...The greater point that German election and the times that led up to it show us is that a Center party or elements on each side, talking together about commonalities, is necessary--it had been destroyed in Germany and what there was was Hard Right and Hard Left. I shudder to think what today's world would be like if the Communists had won. Anyway, the Democrats are our Centrists, the Republicans are the Right; there is no Left of any consequence. The Democrats are to the right of Reagan-era Republicans but still basically Center. The Republicans are moving Rightward. *

* The firing of James A. Baker III today shows this clearly--he was a Reagan-era official, which means he takes a Centrist view of Israel. This attitude has no place in modern Republican politics.: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/28/us/politics/republicans-criticize-james-baker-for-speech-on-benjamin-netanyahu.html?_r=0

Yeah, that's what I meant jazz. I didn't bother to look for myself. I figured y'all would answer me.
I don't mean to sound prejudice but HFH has not helped the poor white people here.
All of the homes being built here are for the black people.
We have alot of black people who go to our church so please don't take what I said the wrong way
but the homes should be built for all the poor. They are not here.
