Obama at first said, "Carter is a private citizen and can do what he wants." but when the rest of the country said, "uh, no he cant" he backtracked and changed his mind to disagree with Carter talking to Hamas.
i sure as hell hope McCain is keeping track of this, cause the general public doesnt know what Obama said... mostly cause the media hushed it up.
as for Carter, we need to just leave him in the Middle East and let him stay there permanently.
