The President Meets the 47% Video Guy

I hope the President thanked him on the behalf of everyone who fought against an Rmoney takeover of our democracy.

Given that he was one of President Carter's grandsons, he helped us move toward a Better Habitat for Humanity.

(one day maybe we will know who actually took the footage)

until I went to your link. I thought you were talking about romney. You know the 47% guy. Not President Carter's grandson, the 47% video guy!

The Carter family are the quiet heroes of our generation.

Too bad the one who actually took the video can't come out. I suppose their life would be in jeopardy.

I can't believe the media respected his privacy, that is so not like them.

I thought it was an anonymous person who made it, and then that person gave it to Carter's relative, and then Carter's relative gave it to Mother Jones. Is that correct? Or did Carter's relative take the video? Thanks!

President Obama met with the gentleman who passed it onto Mother Jones, I believe. The video taker remains unknown.
