He was asked on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d if Mr. Obama ever reached out to him for advice on various policy matters. His response?<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, the answer is no,\u201d said Mr. Carter, 89, the New York Daily News reported. \u201cPresident Obama doesn\u2019t, but previous presidents have called on me and the Carter Center to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even President Ronald Reagan has reached out for his advice, Mr. Carter said. So have former White House Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, but not Mr. Obama.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, I can clear that up for the one termer, a conversation between the two would only be an echo chamber. Obama is clearly a student of the failed Carter presidency, and talking to Carter would be like having a conversation with himself.<\/p>\n
Carter also claims that the man who doesn’t want to talk to him is spying on him;<\/p>\n
\u201cI have felt that my own communications are probably monitored,\u201d he said, The New York Daily News reported. \u201cAnd when I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write the letter myself, put it in the post office and mail it, because I believe if I send an email, it will be monitored.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, well, that’s brilliant, too. The government has never opened our mail, have they? He’s probably suspicious about those rabbits in his yard every morning, too. Little assassin rabbits everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
