JIMMY CARTER HAD A LIBERAL LEFT IDEOLOGICAL WORLD FEEL. HE SAW THE WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF -- THAT... |
| 00:01:00 |
|
DIDN'T JIMMY CARTER RUN AS SORT OF A WASHINGTON OUTSIDER, BOUGHT PART OF A LIBERAL OR OTHERWISE ESTABLISHMENT?... |
| 00:01:10 |
|
HE DID, BUT SO DID BARACK OBAMA. THEY BOTH RAN OUT HOPE AND CHANGE. |
| 00:01:16 |
|
BUT BARACK OBAMA HAD BEEN A MEMBER OF THE SENATE. |
| 00:01:20 |

THAT'S TRUE. ONE WAS A GOVERNOR. SOME WOULD ARGUE THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN A SENATOR.... |
| 00:01:41 |

| 00:04:46 |
|
ARE YOU SAY THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WAS BEHIND SUPPORTING HIM IN PARIS? |
| 00:04:51 |
|
AS THE FRENCH WERE AND THE BRITISH WERE, AND IT ENDED UP IN A SUMMIT IN GUADALUPE WHICH CONFIRMED... |
| 00:04:59 |
