Carter: Obama has given up on Middle East peace

Former President Jimmy Carter is not at all impressed with Barack Obama’s efforts toward Middle East peace. Speaking tuesday at the LBJ library’s annual Harry Middleton Lectureship series, Carter said that in terms of the peace process in the Middle East, “nothing is going on.”

Answering a question about Egypt, the former president praised President Obama’s handling of the situation there saying he’s “done quite well” and that Obama has handled it “about the same way I’d have handled it if I’d been in office.”
