Sure, now that nobody remembers him or has to put up with him ...

Maybe, Kristof has some good words for Pol Pot, too ...

They only wronged him against their hero, Teddy Kennedy. They tried everything they could to help him in the fall campaign against Reagan.

Those 18% mortgages and 21% car loans were just a dream I guess.Manage a nation’s economy,he could barely run a peanut farm.

Jimmy Carter is an intelligent man. You don’t get to be a Chief engineer on a nuke boat without knowing a thing or two. Having said that, he was a slow motion, 3D, quadrophonic, panavision trainwreck of a president. The economy was so bad, economists had to invent new words to describe it (stagflation). Jimmah was so bad, his alcoholic “Good ‘ol boy” brother Billy was more popular than Jimmah. Interest on mortgages was so high you’d think guys nicknamed “Nicky the chin”, or “Joey no nose” were the ones setting the rates.

Bad, Bad, Bad.

I think Carter's intellect worked against him.

He felt as though he had to micro-manage all aspects of the federal government and wound up with "Analysis paralysis".

Plus, that anti-Semitism thingee.

Micro managing was Carters downfall. I’ve heard stories that you had to get permission from him before you could use the White House tennis courts. That there is a fatal inability to delegate. The whole hating Jews thing didn’t help. Throwing the Shah of Iran to the wolves seriously damaged the already tenuous relations with many foreign nations, and led to the hostage crisis. Oh yeah and the next 38 years of Islamic extremism, Let’s not forget that. (like we could)

If anything, the media was far too kind to that bumbling fool.

Jimmy Carter caused the deaths of 1 million people because he didn't assist the Shah in stopping the Religious fanatic revolution.

Jimmy Carter may eventually be responsible for the deaths of many millions more.

Agreed. And putting the 'stamp of approval' on Hugo Chavez's theft of the Venezuela's Presidential election doesn't win him any kudos.
There probably wasn't an America-hating dictator in the world that Carter didn't praise.

Kill 3/4ths of a million people in an economic war, and yeah, the press is going to be pretty mean to you.

It was worse that that. It was largely due to Jimmy Carter's meddling that the Shah stopped cracking down on the religious fanatic dissidents. Jimmy also talked the Shah into allowing Chief Nutbag (Ayatollah Khomeini) back into Iran.

I've read articles which claim Carter did far more than that to destabilize the Shah's regime.

Re: 16

He was one of the primary participants of the sell-out of Rhodesia. Nearly 40 years of dictatorship by Mugabe has turned that former 'Breadbasket' of Africa into the 'Basketcase' of Africa.
Thanks Jimmah...
