I knew that in 1975 about Carter. Another Utopian puppet leader elected to office hoping the warm-fuzzies would prevail to more prosperous times.
Price controls were good then. 15%-16% mortgage rates, price of gas, US hostages, 'big pullout / abandonment', etc., you name. Even an 18 year old (then) could recognize stupidity, incompetence, cowardice, manipulation, Gore/Kerry recessive genes, Rodney King type pleas, etc.
As a person, I think Carter is a very nice compassionate human being. A person that would make a good neighbor, friend, but, as a leader inept, at best trying to have led a nation from a position of diplomatic compromises giving away so much for nothing and not comprehending the global respect that could have been garnered from a display of calm, wise, firm display of strength. His administration staff were jokes too.
Carter got upset (very nervous / mad / anxious) when in presence of The Gipper.

Well put and on the money.
I can only imagine the angst of Jimmah in the presence of a powerful man like Reagan.

I would love to see this "Open Letter to Jimmah" on the front page of every newspaper and on every newscast.
Well, I can dream can't I?

The leader of the free world had been reduced to a thumb-sucking peacenik by a gang of 7th-century hoodlums.This is what I saw way back in sixth grade. All I could do was wonder "why doesn't someone go save them?". America isn't supposed to let a bunch of punks push us around. If a 11 year old boy could figure that out, why couldn't President Carter? He makes brother Billy seem like a common-sense genius.

Jimmy Carter is a poster boy for the feminised wimp who lets his wife boss him around. His wife roslin is the left wing lunatic who is the brains behind Carter's leftism.
He is a nuclear engineer but relied on his wife.
However that does not absolve carter of his treasonous acts. His carter center is a shadow state department which pushes the leftist lunacy. How many carter center interns now work for the sate department?
Association with anythng Carter should disqualify a person for any diplomatic post.

I don't think carter is a nice person personally.
He is the bitter vindictive college professor who is jealous of the fact that his students are smarter and will succeed where he failed.
He is a crazy control freak. He joint the habitat project as a calculation to humanize his image, he used to PERSONALLY set the WH tenis court schedule, when america was down he attacked citizens with the infamouse "malaaaaze" speech.
What you see is what you get with carter, a first class jerk.

One of the biggest mistakes of my life was to vote for him.
However, one good thing came out of it. When our hostages were released on the day President Reagan was sworn into office, I finally saw the light and changed parties.

What this boorish former president forgot to mention was that a couple of Democratic Gods in the way of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy--whose brother just happened to be the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy--wiretapped the King family. But to Carter, the facts would only get in the way of a good smear.
Carter wast finished. He decided that the only thing better than a church full of black people from the civil rights era would be a church full of angry black people. What better way than to do that then to once again remind blacks that President Bush controls the very weather that produces racist hurricanes?
This commemorative ceremony this morning, this afternoon, is not only to acknowledge the great contributions of Coretta and Martin, but to remind us that the struggle for equal rights is not over. We only have to recall the color of the faces of those in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
Those who were most devastated by Hurricane Katrina know that there are not yet equal opportunities for all Americans. It is our responsibility to continue their crusade. (www.drudgereport.com/flash8.htm)
Held out as a celebration of her life, the King funeral had its fair share of Paul Wellstone moments. Few can forget the out and out carrying-on by Democrats--and the hateful treatment of Republicans--at the memorial for Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone, who, along with his wife and daughter, perished in a plane crash in October, 2002.
Because of the raucous and incredibly distasteful behavior of the Democrats, it is thought by many to have cost them the elections of 2002.
There is so much more of big-mouth carter, but there will be plenty of time to get it all out at the rate he is going....
Makes me glad I'm not a rat, I don't have a past pres. that I have to be embassed about.

I think that you are wrong about Carter's wife.
I saw them on Paula Dean's cooking show a week or so ago, and she looked like she was the poster child for the Home.

Heaven or hell don't want him either, he has a history of bad mouthing what ever he was/is a part of. So I guess that ex-President Carter will be with us a long time.

You're forgetting Woodrow Wilson, who set us up for World War II and foisted the concept of the League of Nations on the world. He gets my vote for Worst President Ever, though Carter's a very close second.

Ummm . . . I've met the man, both when he was governor and more recently. Close friends were forced to work with him when he was the gov.
He is indeed a first class jerk. I can't find a single good thing to say about him.
