"I love him"
Martin Luther King
"When Jimmy Carter talks about the Catholic bloc or the Jewish bloc, he is interested in their votes, not their souls."
Columnist Jack Anderson quoting someone close to Carter
"His tone was hard; the anger broke through his normal monotone. "It doesn't matter how far I go. I don 't get over 4 percent of the Jewish vote anyway, so forget it. We get the Christians."
Speechwriter Robert Shrum, who defected from the Carter camp
"There is a disgruntlement, too, about a Carter mean streak beneath the surface amiability, a hardness beneath the engaging sincerity, a political purpose behind the Billy Graham sermonettes."
Columnist Jack Anderson
"Most intriguing political connection of former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter is his relationship
with international banker David Rockefeller, one of the most influential men in the world.. . . Carter was picked several years ago to serve on the Trilateral Commission, which was organized by Rockefeller to study problems of common interest to the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan".
Columnist Paul Scott
"Hypocritical opportunist", "truth twister, "contradictory" in action versus words, this book is quite nasty on Carter. Even on the so-called born-again Christian, Carter believes he is, Gary finds blame, since Carter admires theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, one who denies: "the inerrancy of the Bible, the divine conception of Christ, His Virgin birth, His bodily resurrection as the Son of Man". So the author concludes: "For Carter to call himself a born-again believer whose favorite theologian is Reinhold Niebuhr is like a rabbi saying his favorite politician is Hitler"
This book was written before Carter had won the presidential election. Denying this was a book "fronting" for the Republicans, Gary, though, implied this was a call for action.
Recently, Carter praised president Trump on the North Korea issue.

As for Obama, Carter said: "He made some very wonderful statements, in my opinion, when he first got in office, and then he reneged on that".
AH!! Carter (the couple) voted for Sanders.

A diatribe against Jimmy Carter. Jimmy incidentally happens to be one of my favorite living American presidents so I was curious to see what the critics had to say. Lot of nitpicking, that is all. Second star is because from the book I learned that I can also write a book about nothing.

Like many politicians, Carter has often spoken with a forked-tongue. The author presents the evidence in this short book.
