Carter Seeks Vote in U.N. Against U.S.

President Carter personally called Secretary of State Rice to try to convince her to reverse her U.N. ambassador's position on changes to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, the former president recalled yesterday in a talk in which he also criticized President Bush's Christian bona fides and misstated past American policies on Israel.

Mr. Carter said he made a personal promise to ambassadors from Egypt, Pakistan, and Cuba on the U.N. change issue that was undermined by America's ambassador, John Bolton. "My hope is that when the vote is taken," he told the Council on Foreign Relations, "the other members will outvote the United States."

prior president carter,,,,still thinks he has the bully pulpit...
most of us have been told over and over that President Carter shows us how awesome a president can be after his term ends.... yeahl=# ...right!
like meeting with Fidel (or whoever! or was it a contingent of other miscreants who mean our country a worse fate than the 10 plagues of the Bible). But as usual the left idealizes such thinking and the people who espouse such. Maybe he should vie with Al Gore to share the not so Nobel prize.
Yeah, jimmy as a famous American president (who took over from you) was prone to say "There you go again.." or as Jean Kilpatrick would say about the left. "They always blame America first.." Way to go Jimmy, siding with Egypt,Pakistan and of course everyone's favorite Cuba . yeah,siding with them against your own country... Whoa,,, i guess it's
not treasonous cause unlike the countries Pres. Carter supports (on
this issue) freedom of speech still
exists here... oops unless you are a conservative speaker on Ivy league campus.... et
