Carter was President almost 40 years ago, 77-81. That means that most Americans under 50 have no idea at all who he is. Who? Carter? Oh yeah, I remember history class. He was one of the Presidents back in the 70s, right? Hold on. Let me Google it.
The most amazing thing about his statements, other than he can still speak at 94 year old, is that he still seems to think he has some clout in American society left over from half a century ago.
