After a two­-day stay in the hospital for a gastric viral infection, former President Jimmy Carter has been released, according to CNN.  Carter went to the hospital Tuesday morning after complaining of an upset stomach upon landing in Cleveland.  Carter spent two nights in the hospital for observation.
