We can no longer send baby things to our grandson in Venezuela

All I am going to say about Jimmy Carter, was a bit naive when he was president. When the oil companies said they only have an eight year supply left, he took that literally. And believed that in eight years, this earth would be completely out of oil. When that reserve dips below eight years, they look for more.

It's like me saying I only have a weeks supply of milk left.

Jimmy Carter with all due respect is even a lot more naive today.

Just open your eyes to see what is going on.

This is not good to read when you have family in Venezuela:

"CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has lashed out at Washington's U.N. ambassador-designate for what he called her "despicable" criticism of his government's human rights record.

Maduro demanded Thursday evening that the United States retract Samantha Power's statement that Venezuela, along with Cuban, Iran and Russia, is guilty of a "crackdown on civil society."

Power spoke Wednesday during confirmation hearings before a U.S. Senate committee.

Hopes were raised for improved U.S.-Venezuelan ties in June when U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua met on the sidelines of a regional summit and agreed to fast-track talks for resuming ambassadorial-level ties absent since 2010.

But prospects dimmed after Maduro later offered asylum to U.S. leaker Edward Snowden."

Makes me wonder why we have to have leaders.
