- When he leaves office in 2016, he’ll probably start the lecture tour and become a statesman, like Carter and Clinton.

- Write another book, start a presidential library, probably inChicago, go on speaking tours, cut an album, golf…

- What all past Presidents do I guess. Make speeches and get paid for it. Bill Clinton has made a fortune.

- Since GW Bush has been out of office you rarely even hear of him making a speech. Bill Clinton has made 75 million so if Bush even made 15 million it is a drop in the bucket.

- A thousand dollars a handshake can add up as well.

- Well, if he wanted to make big money, he should follow in George W. Bushes footsteps, and go on the speaking circuit. Bush has made over $15 million giving speeches since he left office.

- It breaks down to $110,000 a speech. Not too shabby.

- Anyone, anywhere, can be a religious figure. I don’t think that Obama is interested in that, however. He will do what all ex Presidents do – open a library, make public appearances, give speeches.

- When he leaves office in 2016, he may go back to teaching. He taught Constitutional Law prior to politics.

or maybe like Bush, Almost immediately after leaving office he withdrew from the broader bully pulpit thatother former presidents, such as Jimmy Carter, have used to weigh in on matters of public import. But he also joined the storied ranks of former politicians who are now making money on the speaking circuit– and it’s paying off.

What about Your opinion?

John Jackson was born in Woodville Virginia just below his beloved Blue Ridge Mountains on the 25th February 1924 he also had 13 other brothers and sisters. Born to farmer parents who also played music to earn a bit of cash life was quite hard but you wouldn’t know that today, for in the short time I new him I never heard a bad word from him. On the contrary he was a great story teller and had us enthralled over lunch, with my wife becoming a fan immediately.

John first picked up a guitar when he was 4 years of age, his fathers it is said, after that one of his siblings purchased one for him when he was about five. But times were hard so it wasn’t long before John had to put his guitar down and head for work. He had very little formal education and left school after only a few months of 1st grade then going to work on his fathers farm never learning how to read and write. He kept playing though with his Mother and Father at parties but gave up the guitar just walked away from it. When pressed for his reasons he would say in those days it sometimes led to violence and would not pick up the guitar again until the 1950’s when he moved to Fairfax County near Washington D.C. Here he met his beloved wife Cora and started working on a dairy farm and started his favorite job that of a grave digger. It is here that he now began to play again learning his trade from an immense list of people. John learn’t from members of a chain gang constructing roads near by and anyone he could find. He continued this life style until the mid sixties where he was spotted by Chuck Perdue. He went onto perform at various local venues in the Washington D.C. area and recorded his first album in 1965 called Blues and Country dance songs from Virginia. The rest is history and this article is for one of the most unassuming people I have met John Jackson and to prove this point if we go back to that lunch we had with him and Trish on that warm Saturday in Gloucester England, he didn’t even mention that he played at the White House for President Jimmy Carter and was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts

Thanks John and Thanks Trish for keeping an eye on him

He said 22 observers from 14 countries will “join the delegation to the amount of 80 persons from 35 countries and they will be in Egypt a few days before and during the election,” says Nuland told reporters.

Carter Center is a non-governmental organization founded by former U.S. President and Nobel laureate Jimmy Carter Prdamaian to promote human rights. Agency that monitors elections around the world, including some in Africa peemilu.

Polls show that Amr Mussa, a former foreign minister and chairman of the Arab League, and the candidate Abdel Moneim Abul Fotouh Islam is the superior candidate in the polls May 23 to 24

Eleven other candidates compete in presidential elections that will mark the end of the transition period led by the military since President Hosni Mubarak ruled out in February 2011.

It is a weak, visionless, cowardly budget that relegates America’s future to a debt-heavy lumbering post-empire decrepitude on both ideas and action.  The budget from the Obama administration would be suitable for Britain in the 1970’s or Jimmy Carter in the last 1970’s — defensive, uncreative, political, administrative.  The bureaucrats will love this budget because it upsets none of their priorities of spending and the status quo.  

In 2011 entitlement programs accounted for 43% of all federal spending.  Without changes, 54% of federal spending will be taken up by entitlement spending in 2022.  It will be impossible to cover these costs without large tax increases or large spending cuts in other programs — it will be easier to deal with these eventualities if they are confronted now rather than when there is a crisis, but the Obama administration does not want to take the lead on entitlement cuts.  

The 2013 budget proposed by the Obama administration will project a deficit of approximately $900 billion compared to the approximately $1 trillion deficit projected for this budget year.  The lower deficit projection is the result of higher corporate taxes and higher taxes proposed on citizens earning more than $250,000 per year in gross income.  In addition, the Obama administration is counting about $200 billion in savings from the wars in Iraq and Afganistan in its budget deficit figure.  Without those savings, the deficit would approximate the deficit for this year.  

Without meaningful action on entitlement spending, the country runs the risk of a major credit crisis in which China and other world powers refuse to loan additional money to the United States.  If that happens, it could happen suddenly, leaving the United States no choice but for the federal reserve to print money to buy up the debt of the U.S., thereby likely causing a currency crisis in which the dollar tumbles in value against foreign currencies and sparks escalating inflation as it would take more dollars to buy the same goods.  

Newt has many good ideas and will probably be a decent president. His campaign will have to get better. newt has to get back to his nasty roots to win the republican nomination, but I do not think that will happen. Do I think he is the best man for the job. Yes, but he won’t win. Going into Iowa he was a favorite. leaving Iowa he is almost a has been. I don’t even know if I will vote for Newt. I would have voted for Jimmy Carter if I had been old enough. Because I am from Georgia, that is why. I just can’t reasonably vote for anybody because we lived within three hours of each other. Jimmy Carter lives one hour from me. How was that outcome from our country. Will newt be another Carter. I don’t know. Lets just wait and see.
