I used to admire what Carter did following his term as President but no longer. The things he has said and his actions vis-a-vis the Middle East are anti-American. He has become more of a joke the older he gets. I have actually met him twice. Once at a company function at the Carter Center that he attended (still have the group photo with him) and distinctly remember zero thrill at shaking his hand. The second time was the worst. I was on a plane out of Atlanta that he was on and they held up our departure so he could go through the entire plane to shake everyone's hand. Needless to say there were lots of pissed off people including me. When he came to my seat I was trying to ignore him and read hoping he would move on and we could finally take off. But he just stood there and finally said, "I don't want to interrupt your reading". I shook his hand, told him he seemed like a nice guy but was the worst President of the 20th Century and maybe longer. The Secret Service guys then beat me up....just kidding about the very last part. :-)

In my view he has squandered the respect he is due for being a former President.
