Not to mention the fact that they're both from the same political party, so Carter does not have a partisan interest in portraying the current administration as worse.

- pekk 13y agoI like Carter, but he is a politician. You don't get elected to the Presidency for being a plain old dude uninterested in politics. Any time you think a politician is not being political, you should reflect on whether you've been had. The problematic assumption is that his 'partisan interest' would be to favor (D) over (R). That's not the only possibility. I think that Carter's interests are more in steering (D) and other issues like Israel and Palestine. And perhaps, a little, in glorifying himself - the possibility should not be excluded.
