Peacekeeper & Humanitarian

President Jimmy Carter
Born: October 1, 1924

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future.
