Jimmy Carter believes in Barack Obama. Monday night the former President decided not to speak at the Democratic Convention but instead showed his support for the presidential candidate in a video tribute. President Carter focused on New Orleans residents who are still recovering from Hurricane Katrina. First he criticized the federal government of abandoning storm victims. Then he referred to Senator Obama as the type of leader capable of helping the forgotten with his "one nation through positive change" approach. After his video President Carter appeared on stage with his wife Rosalynn, but he did not deliver a speech.
