Who will run the Presidential race of America in 20/20???

Written by; Dr. Asmat Hayat Alvi

There are two persons in their thirties, ambitious to run for President of America in twenty-twenty and interestingly both are grandsons of former presidents of US.

One of them is grandson of Jimmy Carter his name is Jason Carter, 34, an Atlanta-area lawyer, is considering a run to fill a seat covering suburban DeKalb County should the incumbent, David Adelman, be designated ambassador to Singapore.

But there is a problem, American Jewish community is not happy with Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is not a popular character in Israel, enraged the American Jewish community in the past with various statements made in his book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid."

In his book, Carter blamed Israel for impeding the Middle East peace process via settlement construction, further claiming such a policy will lead to apartheid. The publication of the book caused 14 Jews to quit their jobs at the Carter Center in 2006.

When his grandson showed his interest in politics; since then Carter senior has been trying to restore relations with the Jewish public. He hoped to appear in synagogues or Jewish community centers to explain and apologize, but his efforts were rejected.

Carter senior told the Jewish Telegraph Agency in an interview published Tuesday that ethnic electoral considerations were not reason enough to reach out to the Jewish community, although he did not outright deny that it was a factor. He told in his interview that "Jason has a district; the number of Jewish voters in it is only 2%.

He therefore decided to publish his letter of apology in a Jewish news agency around the holiday season, in hopes of reaching the strongest community of America and he is doing this under the pressure of his family; especially his grandson. His grandson Jason Carter want to become senator first and then presidential candidate of Democrats in 2020.

Shalom International, a Miami-based group known for staging protests to fight anti-Semitism, called the apology a "publicity stunt", but another powerful Jew, Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League said Carter's apology was a "good start" to repairing relations with the Jewish community. Other influential Jews said they were cautiously optimistic.

It is hoped that Jimmy Carter’s apology will be accepted in due time because,  Ira Forman, chief executive of the  Washington-based National Jewish Democratic Council has said “We are happy to criticize him when he's being unfair, so when he says something like this, he should be congratulated and encouraged”.

George Prescott Bush the grandson of George H.W. Bush; nephew of George Walker Bush; both are former presidents of US, is hoping to be the candidate of president of America in 2020 as Republican.

He is serving in Afghanistan these days as Lt. Junior Grade and hoped will be promoted soon; he signed up for an eight-year term as an Intelligence Officer in the Navy Reserve in 2007.  His middle name Prescott; honors his great-grandfather, former U.S. senator Prescott Bush is son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush and his wife, Columbia bush, is  usually called P. Bush. He is 33, born and raised in Mexico.

He is the biggest hope for Bush family as fourth generation politician and it is hoped that he will be accepted open heartedly by American Jewish Community; because his grandfather and later his uncle best acted-upon mischievous plans of their Jew Masters.
