Where are all the thread impugning pres carters

"Constructively criticizing" President Obama and the Clintons is a DU specialty, and no opportunity should be missed. President Carter usually gets a pass, but I don't think there is as much satisfaction beating up an elder statesman.

Showing respect for the peaceful transition of the office is not remotely the same as showing respect for the person holding that office, but that nuance can be lost in the rush to condemn. In my opinion, the presence of the former Presidents, including the detested Bush, is a powerful statement that the American Presidency will survive no matter who occupies the seat at the present time. I applaud their class and grace, as well as their demonstrated love of our country and faith that over time rational thinking will prevail. Giving trump the middle finger might give momentary pleasure to some, but it would greatly diminish the position that our former Presidents hold.
