An evil man who poses as a humanitarian, Christian home builder and Elder Statesman, Carter has done more destruction to America than Nixon, Clinton, LBJ or FDR.
Clinton is the dregs but Carter is the absolute bottom of the barrel.
There have been four Democratic POTUSes in the past half-century:The worst POTUS in history has some stiff competition. And that's without considering FDR's first two terms, which is the proper frame of reference to compare all presidents, FDR included. By which standard, FDR failed to get the country going again, and failed to prevent WWII.
- JFK - Bay of Pigs. But he did cut taxes; could not get the Democratic nomination today if reincarnated with the same perspective, he would be a Republican.
- LBJ - Vietnam and the "Great Society"
- JEC - Stagflation, Energy Crisis, Iran, and the high water mark of the USSR's global influence.
- WJC - Ben Laden, Indo-Pak nukes, Black Hawk Down, 'Meaning of 'is,'" Filegate, Waco, RLF billing records, Coffeegate, etc, etc, etc.
To which I can ONLY respond: Why am I not surprised? The man thrives on attention, and once the cameras have their shots of him gloriously pounding nails in a wall, he's gotten what he really wants. He needs to feel vindicated after being trashed as someone who could have pulled this country in a far left direction after Nixon (who was another liberal, for those around here who worship THAT awful president), but whose personal ineptitude only made a mess of the greatest opportunity for altering the course of humanity one person can have.
He was handed the most powerful position on the planet, and he was more concerned with who was using the tennis court, and his bizarre self-image as a Messiah.
Whenever I hear the president being attacked for his religious belief, I laugh. Have you ever heard CARTER going on about "MY God does this and that"? What a big mouth. What a fool. What a hollow, corrupt little moral midget.
Nixon was a heroic Cold Warrior who ran right but governed as a centrist. But for Watergate, he would be ranked very highly by objective historians (if you could find them.)
