Theres no doubt that usually a presidents public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me. – Jimmy Carter
I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I dont think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths. – Jimmy Carter
We cant equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs. – Jimmy Carter
I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future. – Jimmy Carter
