Obama meets 47% video guy



By REID J. EPSTEIN - 2/14/13

DECATUR, Ga. -- President Obama on Thursday met the man who made "47 percent" part of Mitt Romney's legacy.

Obama and opposition researcher James Carter, who released the infamous Romney fundraiser video, met backstage before Obama's education event here, Carter's cousin, Georgia state Sen. Jason Carter, told POLITICO.

Upon being introduced and told of James Carter's role in the 47 percent video, Obama jumped forward to embrace him.

"Thank you, thank you so much," Obama told James Carter, his cousin said...

Jason and James are President Carter's grandsons. I'd love to see Carter bring Georgia back to sanity. Maybe he'll go down the same road as Jimmy Carter?

Here's where I heard this good news, please go and rec and comment on babylonsister's thread:

1. The Democrats are fired up and ready to go!

“We can’t wait as a state,” said Carter, who will formally launch his candidacy on Thursday. “The bottom line is we can’t afford four more years of an economy that’s not working for the middle class and an education system that’s underfunded. It’s not about politics. It’s about making sure we can get the state that we need.”

2. Over an 8 year period he will change American history for the better...

Obama is inspiring many to live up to their ideals.

6. Jason is quite the handsome fellow, isn't he? A good heart from his parents and grandparents shows.

I'm hoping Jason, Wendy and others bring people back to their senses, back to what America is really about and out of the Faux Zombie Gulag.

7. They will bring new ideas to stop the maddness.

We sure are going to have some amazing campaigns in 2014! These all could be game changers for us.

GOTV 2014!

The pictures were a great addition freshwest, thanks.

9. Thanks for all the pix and info

I didn't know about the connection between the Carters and the 47% expose.

10. Our time has come again, perhaps, in this new generation...

And how's it doing there?

Getting cold yet?

11. I think the entire MidWest is getting ready to be cold now.

We're expecting snow next week. I'm leaving to go back home tomorrow come hell or high water, whether my friend's able to leave her mother or not. She can drive her van short distances around here, and I can catch a ride home. Even I don't intend to get caught having to drive home in a snowstorm for anybody. Got caught in a whiteout one time and that cured me forever.
