Jimmy Carter Hints That He Will Cast His Vote For Obama

[kpete]

Obama May Get Carter’s Support
From Damilola Oyedele in Abuja, 04.03.2008


Former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter has hinted that he might cast his vote for Senator Barack Obama to aid his emergence as the candidate for the Democrats in America’s bid to elect a new President.

.....................

Carter, who was accompanied by his wife Rosalynn, did not profess a direct support for Obama but rather choose to make a veiled statement.

“We are very interested in the primaries. Don’t forget that Obama won in my state of Georgia. My town which is home to 625 people is for Obama, my children and their spouses are pro- Obama.

My grandchildren are also pro- Obama. As a Super Delegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for but I leave you to make that guess," he said.

1. I can see him saying that

with a big warm smile

[jasmine621]

76. His state went for Obama. He dislikes the Clintons. No news here.

the talk about the "will of the people" is bullshit since Kennedy and Richardson will cast their votes for Obama despite their states going for Clinton.

[krawhitham]

104. AKA: Jimmy Carter doesn't matter

He is dead to hillbots

[BumRushDaShow]

2. Wow.

He went about as far as he could go without actually doing the deed!

[DemVet]

3. So what?

Another former Democratic President, Bill Clinton, will vote for Hillary.

Who would you say had the more successful Presidency?

[melody]

5. Carter was more of an actual Democrat

Bill Clinton is DLC.

[MyNameGoesHere]

19. So as a supporter of the candidate who

espouses unity, we are all Americans, and changing Washington, would you send DLC folks to the gas chambers or the ovens?

[melody]

58. That's a childish question - simply because I disagree with someone doesn't mean I want to kill them

Disagreement is not a personal attack. That's the pov of a putative "conservative" who thinks anyone who has a
difference of opinion is a traitor.

I support the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE -- that person is Obama, no matter what the conservatives in DLC might like.

[Bake]

74. I love Jimmy, but he wasn't terribly effective as President.

Some of that is his fault, some not.

Bake

[cali]

6. duh. of couse Clinton is voting for his wife

and that Clinton had the more successful presidency certainly doesn't make him more admirable than Carter, and it doesn't make his vote count more. Carter isn't a close relative. He obviously thinks Obama is a superior candidate to Hillary. tough for you.

[DemVet]

12. Uh...

...the post was meant to convey :sarcasm:

[Hugabear]

7. Figures

"Who would you say had the more successful Presidency"

You just can't let a fellow Democrat say something nice about Obama without saying something bad about him, can you?

[virtualobserver]

8. The thing that I liked about Carter's Presidency is that he wasn't as "successful" with the ladies.

[DemVet]

14. I liked the high interest rates, massive unemployment and inflation.

[my3boyz]

27. Carter is dead to you now right?? I can't believe DU Hill supporters call themselves democrats!

[DemVet]

30. Get over it.

I'll bet you haven't said shit to any of the Oba-maniacs that have torn the Clintons apart.

[Hugabear]

45. Carter, Kennedy, Moore, Fonda, Richardson, etc aren't running for president - Clinton IS

If you can't handle criticism of your candidate, then you need some thicker skin. You might have missed the thread where Helen Thomas said nice things about Hillary, and most Obama supporters were very respectful of her. Now contrast that to the reaction you Hillary supporters have towards ANYONE who dares either praise Obama or criticize Hillary.

[FloridaJudy]

113. Agreed

I didn't see a single Obama supporter blast Thomas, even though we disagreed with her. But as soon as a major political figure endorses Obama, Clinton supporters are - literally - hissing "Judas!", and attacking that person's record. Granted, Carter wasn't our most effective Democratic president, but he wasn't the unmitigated disaster Reagan and Bush supporters claim he was. And compared to their administrations, Carter looks like a Nobel Prize winner...wait...never mind.

I used to think a Clinton presidency wouldn't be all that bad, but some of her supporters are making me have second thoughts. Oh, I'll still vote for her if she gets the nomination, but I'm going to need a much larger clothespin.

[Apollo11]

43. self delete

[my3boyz]

28. Oh and I liked hearing about a president's sexual relations in the oval office!

If it comes down to who is a more honorable person and whose opinion a person should trust then Bill loses every single time!

[DemVet]

31. Nice repeating the RW spin. Real nice.

[book_worm]

41. do some reading on the Carter presidency it wasn't as bad as the RW spin makes it.

[anigbrowl]

79. You did the exact same thing - blaming Carter for the entire 1970s economy.

There was a recession in Europe during the 70s as well, but I guess we should have blamed Carter for that. Nothing to do with Ford or OPEC or anything else.

[demokatgurrl]

65. Carter was "green" before "green was cool

Carter taught us not to waste oil, that the supply was limited and in the hand of folks who are not our friends. Carter told the truth when it wasn't pleasant. People didn't like that so of course he was followed by years of "dont'worry, be happy, greed is good" Repubs.

[Pastiche423]

78. I owe the majority of my "green-ness" to Jimmy Carter

When he spoke to the nation, wearing his sweater and speaking of the need to conserve, my twenty two year old self was listening.

In the thirty + years that have followed, I've done as much as I can to help protect Mother Earth.

As far as presidents that have actually tried to help We, the People, Jimmy Carter is very close to the top.

[Herman74]

103. Yeah, that's definitely true...

...went so far as to install solar panels on the White House (which were taken down by Reagan). It explains why he's tried hard to get Al to run for president, but, alas, Al isn't interested.

[ieoeja]

75. Unemployment and Inflation finished DOWN under Carter.

Both were lower when Carter left office than when he entered. Why does everyone forget that?

[ozone_man]

112. Nixon and Vietnam were responsible for that.

Debts incurred from the war, and Nixon taking the dollar off the gold standard in 1972 to pay for it all caused the inflation that Carter inherited. Gold went from $35/oz. to $800/oz in 1980.

But Carter appointed Volcker as FED chariman who ultimately crushed inflation. Bill Clinton by comparison was the best Republican president ever. he reappointed Greenspan who allowed the stock market bubble to occur, which led to the real estate bubble, and which has led to our present dire straits.

Carter had the misfortune of being president at a bad time. A real Democrat though unlike Clinton.

[RoadRage]

26. Yeah.. that, and oh-- he didn't get impeached either.

I mean.. how you define "successful" can vary in many ways. I have a feeling many would think Carter's presidency wasn't as bad as Clinton's just based on the way it ended.

I personally don't know much about Carter - I was 1 when he was in office. But, I do like his veiled endorsement!

[DemVet]

33. The way it ended?

Yeah, if you want to consider that Teddy Kennedy tried to trounce his own party's President at the convention, and Reagan trounced his ass in the GE.

[ieoeja]

77. Well then, let me educate you.

Nixon altered American foreign policy towards the Soviet Union by trying to open up their society (in contrast to every president since Truman all of whom followed Churchill's Iron Curtain seige strategy). Ford and Carter followed suit. The Soviet people started turning away from Communism when they saw the benefits of an open society.

But then Reagan got elected and tried reinstating the old seige policy. When western Europe told Reagan to go fuck himself and continued opening up the Soviet Union, the Soviet people did rally 'round the flag for one last decade in the face of Reagan's antagonism. As soon as he was out of the picture, the people turned on their government, and the USSR was no more.

Carter negotiated a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Arab nations had invaded Israel several times beginning the day Israel was founded and continuing through 1973. Carter's treaty led to an Arab nation recognizing Israel's right to exist for the first time (the Egyptian president was killed for it, but his policies continued). No Arab nation has attacked Israel since.

FDR put Nixon in charge of price setting during WW-II to stop war profiteering, etc. Nixon got some dumbass idea in his head he should do the same thing during Vietnam and the first Arab oil embargo. So prices were kept artificially low. Ford removed most of that pricing with Carter removing the last. Inflation naturally followed as soon as Ford began removing those price constraints. The market finally got caught up with inflation at only 7% Carter's last year in office (it was double digits under Ford and peaked around 19% under Carter). And it was practically non-existant his last quarter in office.

Yet wages actually increased faster than inflation at that time!

Unfortunately, all of the above was trumped by the Iranian hostage crisis. There was no such thing as Delta Force at the time, so Carter had no direct action response except to freeze Iranian funds, etc. Carter ordered the creation of Delta Force at that time, but they screwed up their first time in action (not surprising for a hastily crafted construct).

Then Reagan came along and obtained the release of our hostages through the simple expedient of giving in to all of Iran's demands. But instead of telling the American people what he did, he just gave us a lot of John Wayne speeches. As a result the majority of Americans to this day think Iran gave us back the hostages because they were afraid of Reagan.

Over the next twelve years of Reagan/Bush, Islamic terrorists would take a string of American hostages for whom Reagan/Bush would pay the ransom ... even after they killed one of the hostages despite having already being paid ransom. Following the "Black Hawk Down" incident, the Somali warlord tried holding our pilot for ransom. Instead of continuing the Reagan/Bush policy of appeasement, the wimpy, liberal Democrat Clinton sent in the US Marines. Somali gave us back our pilot and received nothing in return.

[mdmc]

88. Thank you for the 70's history lesson

:toast:

[Spider Jerusalem]

10. Who's the Nobel Prize winner?

And who's been making money consulting for Dubai? Who would you say is a better judge of character?

[powergirl]

11. Yawn. But if Carter supported Clinton, he'd be an American hero

we get it we get it. Maybe we should have a disclaimer in ever post that indicates the support of a super for Obama. Something like "this superdelegate does not matter."

[karynnj]

17. Obviously Clinton got reelected - but consider two big issues and

who knows what history's final verdict will be. Carter did have the guts to recognize that oil was a scarce resource and that the US only had 3% of the world's oil - and we were using nearly 25% of what, on an annual basis, was used. The danger then was that OPEC could throw the US economy into turmoil - now it is governments with likely covert ties to the terrorists could use oil as a tool.

What did Carter do that first caused derision - he pushed conservation - smaller, more fuel efficient cars, and lowering the thermostat. Between Carter and the reality of higher gas prices and the annoyance of queuing for gas, cars became more fuel efficient and smaller. Millions of people installed programmable thermostats. He also pushed research into alternative fuels.

This was cast as against America's God given right to have no limits on what we want by Reagan. Clinton did not challenge that - SUVs continued to get heavier in the 1990s and they were not counted as cars, under the CAFE rules. If they were included, the mileage would have actually gone down in these years. It was an era of continued good times, fueled by huge unsustainable on paper asset gains from inflated stock.

Given the connection between the middle east and near east to oil - Carter may be seen better in history. Add to that the Camp David Peace accords - which were better than the end of term Clinton negotiations.

Throw in that no one questions Carter's basic decency and integrity and when looked at long term for the impact on the country and party, (especially if HRC loses) I think it might be better to be Carter - shunned by the party at conventions until 2004 than Clinton.

[polpilot]

21. Obama had it easy. He didn't have to dodge sniper fire...and then get fooled by meany Bush on Iraq.

[SaveAmerica]

22. Superdelegate's past: not important, how they're voting is what we're looking for

[earthlover]

23. So what, you ask?! President Carter should have more respect from you than to say that....

I will leave it to historians to debate who was the more successful presidency. But when a Democratic President speaks, you should have more respect than to just say so what....the entire universe does not lie in relation to the Clintons, they are not the center for all comparisons. But since you brought up Bill Clinton, you don't suppose that the reason this president endorsed Hillary had anything to do with him being married to her, do ya?

[NDambi]

34. One Clinton was enough...thank god its almost over and Hillary won't win...

[book_worm]

37. and who is the better man?

[snooper2]

49. The one who wasn't impeached...

:rofl:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

51. Quit being an ass. nt

[Forkboy]

82. Might as well ask the sun not to rise.

:)

[mckeown1128]

56. uh oh... Carter is under Hillary's bus now too. nt

[Tesha]

66. Frankly, the one who wasn't impeached. (NT)

[mdmc]

86. Carter was the last decent person to hold that post

Please name one thing BigDog did for the poor or for working people. BigDog was like Ray-gun lite with a libido. :mad:

Carter has been the best president of my lifetime.

[pocoloco]

98. I know who got the most blow jobs!!

[Herman74]

101. That's easy. Jimmy Carter was more successful

Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize at least somewhat as a result of what was accomplished during his presidency:

"During his presidency (1977-1981), Carter's mediation was a vital contribution to the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, in itself a great enough achievement to qualify for the Nobel Peace Prize." -- The Norwegian Nobel Committee

Bill Clinton, on the other hand, poor soul, is undoubtedly still somewhat tormented by the Ghosts of Rwanda.

Jimmy Carter stood strong for "human rights." Can't quite remember anything Bill Clinton stood strong for.

In addition, Jimmy Carter sought to promote energy conservation. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, gave up on Kyoto, and today the U.S. stands almost alone among nations in refusing to ratify Kyoto.

[jwlashta]

109. Your point being...?

Talk about a slight of hand to change the topic.

What does it matter that Bill Clinton had a better presidency? How does that have anything to do with Carter supporting Obama? It's quite simple to throw your comment back at you and ask who has done more in humanitarian terms? Who is more respected in the international community? I would hope that Bill Clinton would throw his support to his wife--it is expected. The fact that he (Clinton) does so means absolutely nothing.

[crankychatter]

4. More than a hint

...but to be expected

Carter's a Democrat and a person of deep spiritual conviction.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Jimmy Carter needs to stay away from bus stops now.

Otherwise we can expect to see his feet sticking out from under the next one that goes by...

Jimmy goes under the bus in 3...2...1...

[DemVet]

16. Yeah, just like...

...Geraldine Ferraro, Rev. Wright, Bill Richardson, etc. etc.

[Hugabear]

46. Nice try, no cookie

Geraldine Ferraro got pounced on because she made some stupid comments about Obama only being where he was because he was black. Nobody trashed her simply because she was a Hillary supporter.

[IndyHatedByBothSides]

20. I wish he wouldn't have done that

I'm not sure that was a good idea. I respect and admire Carter, just as I do Obama. I hope Obama takes the nomination. However, Carter was one of the few remaining heavyweights not to declare. Which means he could have been used to heal the party when the time comes. I wonder whether it would have been better for him to remain officially neutral like Gore and Pelosi?

[Apollo11]

25. Pelosi? Neutral?

Not since she lied to a reporter about how the Clinton Campaign was "proclaiming that Senator Campaign would be a better Commander-in-Chief than Senator Obama".

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/category/nancy-pelosi/

[Voice for Peace]

38. "Senator Campaign?" LOL

that's not a real quote from anywhere, is it?

[Apollo11]

44. Or maybe it was Senator McCain

The correct quote is Nancy Pelosi stated the "Clinton Administration" (by which we assume she means the Clinton Campaign) had ruled out the possibility of a joint ticket by "proclaiming that Senator McCain would be a better Commander-in-Chief than Obama".

[JVS]

13. 3.. 2... 1..

18. WHOOHOO! Welcome aboard Jimmy!

[Apollo11]

24. Jimmy "Judas" Carter -- just another name for my "Dead To Me Now" list!

Seriously though, I see nothing wrong with a Superdelegate voting for the candidate who won the Dem primary in their State.

I wish Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Deval Patrick would follow the same logic! ;-)

[lojasmo]

71. If everybody voted locally, Obama would increase his lead! :)

[madrchsod]

29. if carter does endorse obama ......

[NDambi]

32. Go Carter! Go Bama!

[liberaldem4ever]

35. Great news!! Thanks!!

I've always admired Jimmy Carter for working for peace in the world and his work for Habitat for Humanity. Not that he's perfect-nobody is. I kind of thought that he would support Obama and it's nice to know for sure.

[book_worm]

36. Thank you to my favorite ex-dem president who doesn't play footsie with the Bush's.

[Voice for Peace]

39. I like this endorsement! nt

[Colobo]

40. Gobama!

[Neshanic]

42. OMG! THIS IS HUGH! Loser president of epic proportions gives his nod to Obama.

This is not a good thing. Really.

[Hugabear]

47. You hillbots are so fucking predictable

As soon as I read that Carter was backing Obama, I just knew the Hillbots would come out with their "loser president" comments.

Nice to know that you didn't fail me.

[Texas Hill Country]

53. Carter was one of the worst presidents in history actually... HORRIBLE.

[Hugabear]

55. Bull-fucking-shit

A lot of what happened during his presidency was far beyond his control. Maybe you could enlighten us as to which policies of his makes him one of the worst presidents ever?

After all, you're throwing Carter against some pretty heavy competition - our current president, Pappy Bush, Nixon, Herbert Hoover, Warren G Harding, etc.

[Tesha]

68. That whole Middle East Peace Thing...

That whole Middle East Peace Thing; that totally sucked.

And truth about energy policy -- you know Americans just
can't handle the truth.

And that quiet grace he had, what a turn-off!

And what about Habitat for Humanity? He leaves the
presidency and becomes a fucking carpenter???

Tesha


(Please tell me I don't really need the :sarcasm: thingy.)

[Texas Hill Country]

81. ill give him credit for Habitat... that is fantastic... BUT

his middle eastern policy was amateurish at best, and IMO disasterous.

The loss of Iran to Islamic extremists(which happened under his watch, and to a large extent because of his inattention, misunderstanding, ignorance and failure to act) was one of the biggest FP bungles in US history and has been the modern root of many of the problems we have in that region. another disasterous consequence of the fall of the shah was the oil scarcity of 1979 and the victory of OPEC in finally controlling the international oil market...

His presidency is in no small part the cause of the victory of both Islamic radicalism and Opec, 2 issues that remain the biggest ones we have to deal with today.

His energy policy and diplomatic ineptitude led to some of the biggest spikes in gas prices, huge interest rate hikes, massive inflation.

his quiet grace? seriously? I mean, great guy, charitable as hell, but not a good President.

[mdmc]

94. I often wonder how Carter could have protected the Shah

Are you suggesting that military intervention against the islamic uprising would have been in the best interest of America?

[Texas Hill Country]

89. Nixon was psycho, but he had good FP, Dubya I would rank the worst tho

Hoover and Harding were a waste of space but their mistakes did not have the decade long problems that Carters did.

Carter screwed up Iran BIG

Carter's policies did nothing to fix the huge inflation problems

Carter's diplomatic weaknesses led to OPEC using oil as blackmail and quadrupling the price of oil, and the fall of Iran cut off a huge portion of the non-opec oil causing further spikes.

Carter gave away the Panama Canal.

He was also a "process president" which was an issue... he concentrated on making sure that the processes of government were pure instead of making sure that the content was good. He thought that if you used good mean, the end would be good... which is not necessarily true.

Also, Carter screwing with Cuba under the Clinton administration was dumb. He needed to stfu



Carter was a great guy, warm heart, good soul... just not a good president

[mdmc]

96. How was giving the canal away bad?

It went from being a poke in the eye to the Panamanians to being a national treasure of their country.

The evil commies never took it over or blocked us from using it.

It was brilliant.

[ieoeja]

111. I believe you may just have gotten every single part of that backwards.

"Carter screwed up Iran BIG"

After being betrayed by the British, French and Germans, the Arab nations cited Carter as the reason they were willing to trust the United States against Iraq in 1991. Unfortunately, we betrayed that trust (we have had troops in Iraq since 1991, not 2003 as most Americans seem to believe) which led to two attacks on the World Trade Center.


"Carter's policies did nothing to fix the huge inflation problems"

Inflation before Carter was in double digits. While it continued rising to a peak under Carter, it was only 7% for the entire year of 1980 and actually running at an annual rate under 3% the last quarter. Maybe you're right. Maybe Carter's policies did nothing to fix it. Maybe it is all just coincidence. Or maybe Carter's policies did fix the problem.


"Carter's diplomatic weaknesses led to OPEC using oil as blackmail and quadrupling the price of oil, and the fall of Iran cut off a huge portion of the non-opec oil causing further spikes."

The OPEC Oil Embargo occurred in 1973 long before Carter. Because of Carter's diplomatic strengths, OPEC actually INCREASED production during the 1979 energy crisis. That crisis following on the heels of the Iranian revolution was the equivalent of the Hurricane Katrina energy crisis. There was never a shortage of energy, but a panic in the market (or more like speculators taking advantage of the situation) drove the prices up anyway.


"Carter gave away the Panama Canal."

Aside from the incredibly obvious (it was never ours), treaty negotiations for returning control began under LBJ and continued under Nixon and Ford until finalized under Carter. That treaty did not call for the US actually handing over the canal until the end of 1999 when Clinton, not Carter, finally gave away the Panama Canal.


"He was also a "process president" which was an issue... he concentrated on making sure that the processes of government were pure instead of making sure that the content was good. He thought that if you used good mean, the end would be good... which is not necessarily true."

You might be right on this one.
Texas Hill Country - 1
Reality - 4


"Also, Carter screwing with Cuba under the Clinton administration was dumb. He needed to stfu"

Who keeps up an embargo for decades? Add to that the fact that all of our allies abandoned the embargo long ago means WE are the only ones being hurt by this embargo.

[Neshanic]

59. And we have a winner!

[mdmc]

92. I disagree

He was the best president of my lifetime.

[book_worm]

48. I'll take Jimmy Carter over Bill Clinton any day.

You certainly would be whistling a different tune if he came out for Hill. What would you say if Al Gore endorsed Obama?

[demokatgurrl]

67. "Let me be the first to kiss his ass". n/t

[aquarius dawning]

70. You must not remember the 70's then. Jimmy Carter is why we got Ronald Reagan

and George Bush.

[Texas Hill Country]

91. he was so bad, the country swung to the other side almost entirely

and it only took him 4 years to do it.

[mdmc]

97. fascism is how we got the DLC / Ray-gun / BFEE

Carter was the last of the good ones.

The corporate media and the military industrial complex combined with rat worm dems that gave up on the working class - thats how we got to Ray-gun

[Neshanic]

100. And Carter's complete ineptitude had nothing to do with it?

Nice compartments you put things in.

[mdmc]

110. I don't think he was inept at all

Did you think we should have invaded Iran?

[mdmc]

90. Jimmy Carter is a noble, generous man

the last decent person to hold the office of president.

[hedgehog]

50. I wonder how Carter's presidency would have turned out if the Web

had existed back then. Everything he tried to say or do was filtered through the MSM, and the Washington Establishment took a dislike to him at the very beginning.

[Texas Hill Country]

52. Carter.... is a toolbag.

[Kber]

84. Well

he HAS a tool bag - uses it to build houses for the poor, I think.

[JackORoses]

54. Right On, Jimmy Carter!

:thumbsup:

[mckeown1128]

57. Carter is dead to me now!!! nt

[Lucky 13]

60. And let the slander of another good Democrat begin!!!

It's SO FUCKING predictable and pathetic.

If someone says what the Clintonistas want them to say, they are a hero.
If someone has a difference of opinion, they are "TRAITORS".

Have you no shame? No sense of irony? No decency? No respect for difference of opinion or debate?

Your actions remind me of the Bush Administration. Anyone who speaks out against them is "UnAmerkan" too.

You people are cut from the same fucking cloth. Sad, bitter, pathetic, delusional, hypocritical, hateful old bats.

[NeedleCast]

61. Another Good Man For Obama

Countdown for Camp Hillary to Camp Hillary to rip into Carter begins now...


...nevermind, I see the bludgeoning has already begun.

[tokenlib]

62. If the hostage rescue had succeeded, history might have been different...

We all saw how mighty Wal-Mart was brought to its knees in the past week of cable news...

Looking back at how the Iranian hostage crisis--night after night on "Nightline"--and how every day it sapped the strength out of the Carter presidency. It went on for months. It gave Reagan the gift that kept on giving.

If the rescue mission hadn't died in the desert--and had somehow succeeded...it might have changed history.
Carter was ahead of his time on energy (and Reagan was delusional in pulling the solar panels off the White House)--handled Three-Mile Island admirably. He wasn't the failure people are led to believe-- a lot of events were beyond his power.

Carter got a bad rap and continues to do so. His implied support of Obama is welcome.

[book_worm]

63. kick

[backscatter712]

64. Sweet! Another superdelegate!

Welcome aboard the Obama Train!

[aquarius dawning]

69. He was such a great President that his endorsement will win over everybody that remembers the 70's

for sure.

Oh wait, I'm guessing it's already happening on this thread.

105. Watch, they'll all end up in the thread about Obama's hate.

Complaining about how mean people are. :rofl:

Barack Obama should be proud of having Nobel Peace Prize winner President Carter. An honorable statesman, and great American.

107. Jimmy is dead to me

[Laelth]

108. You call that a hint?

I can assure you, as a native Georgian, having watched James Earl Carter, Jr. in action for many years, that was no hint. That's an outright endorsement couched only barely delicately enough to not knock Hillary Clinton in next week.

Hint, indeed. (And I realize that the OP was being sarcastic. I'm just pleased with what Carter had to say.)
