Former President Jimmy Carter's legacy deserves reconsideration, says former domestic policy adviser

Former President Jimmy Carter's legacy deserves reconsideration, says former domestic policy adviser Former President Jimmy Carter always said George H.W. Bush was his favorite successor. Stuart Eizenstat, Carter’s chief White House domestic policy adviser, reminisced Wednesday that the two former presidents had many similarities despite their differing party affiliations. Eizenstat spoke Wednesday at MU. “Both were ferocious campaigners, but who, once elected, governed from the middle, who reached compromises on important areas,” he said. Both presidents “were not afraid at all — quite the contrary — of reaching across the aisle, as we say in Washington, to form bipartisan consensus. Both tried to do the right thing when they were in office, even if it was politically unpopular.” Eizenstat, an attorney and special adviser for Holocaust issues to the U.S. State Department, was formerly U.S. ambassador to the European Union and spoke at the Reynolds Journalism...

Welcoming foreigners to our shores.”  Just an afternoon removed from attending the state funeral of former President George H.W. Bush at the Washington National Cathedral, Carter rushed back to Atlanta on Wednesday night to host a conversation marking the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Mere hours earlier, during one of the rare occasions on which  all living U.S. presidents were gathered , Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, sat in the front row of the cathedral — along with former Pre...

After months of careful cropping to protect her daughter from the public eye, Cardi has apparently finally lost the ability to contain all this cuteness and allowed it to be unleashed upon the world. There is a li’l baby headband, yes. There is also a li’l baby bow, yes. There are big brown eyes and oh yes, a custom bib. The photo can be seen below, but please remain seated for it because as we’ve been trying to warn you: This baby is really, really,  really  cute. Bute, even.
