Related: About this forumThank you to Jimmy Carter's grandson James Carter 4th
I don't think I've seen it mentioned in some time that it was Jimmy Carter's grandson who introduced the "47%" tape to the world. And with that, undid the retouched Mitt Romney and exposed his true feelings about much of the country.
Plus, its worth mentioning that the GOP ops wanted to portray Obama as "another Carter" from the time he got into office. Instead, Obama was his own man, and Jimmy Carter's grandson came in with the cavalry to save the day and get the word out.
Thank you James Carter 4th. Thank you so much. (and the clever person who turned on the camera).

Thank you James Carter, you are a hero to many of us, and you did your wonderful family proud.

That infuriated me as well.

(1,151 posts)we grew up together. Oh we lived many miles apart . but we grew up aware , in the 70s. we knew then what we know now.
so many people never paid attention and then one decided when they had to. but we already knew. we paid attention, all along. America is with us. I like that
