They and I both just laugh about it. So I have been more concerned about my safety in doing the Carter Center&#8217;s business overseas than I ever was in the White House.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, was it two or was it three threats? Whenever I hear someone say &#8220;two or three&#8221;  somethings happened, I know it&#8217;s a complete lie, because who can forget whether something happened two times or three times. No one wants to kill him, we learned he was a buffoon the day after he was inaugurated when he gave amnesty to the Vietnam draft dodgers. We knew we just had to be patient and he&#8217;d get replaced. The only people who hated him enough to kill him were the Iranians because he wouldn&#8217;t turn over the Shah to them.<\/p>\n<p>He tried to make the US weaker long before it was Obama&#8217;s plan, but after he left office he was no real threat, well, except to common sense. But at least, back then Americans were smart enough to only give him one term in office.<\/p>\n<p>I figure he&#8217;s making up these death threats&#8230;either that or the Secret Service just tells him that to make him feel like he&#8217;s still got some worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw the title of this article in the Washington Examiner and thought they were going &hellip; <a title=\"Carter says he was targeted for assassination\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36780\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Carter says he was targeted for assassination<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jimmy-carter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36780\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
