Anyone who believes that Obama Administration is the first/only administration to manipulate statistics is truly a fool.  And anyone who believes they know how any administration has manipulated the data is a damn fool.  Congress also manipulates data.  And really, at the end of the day, what do all the numbers mean?  Things are as they are, and much too complex for any one President to control it and it won't matter who is in the WH. We have the global economy that we deserve. 

As far as Carter goes, I was in HS when he was President.  Historians will judge his Presidency, but I think what he has done since he has left the WH is admirable.  He works with Habitat for Humanity, he has done a great deal to further human rights in other countries, he has virtually eliminated the Guinea Worm, which caused so much illness.  I admire the courage with which he is facing his illness.
