He is incompetent on all fronts except selecting the best Ice Cream joint in any given town.
I don’t recall things this bad even in the late 70’s. It just gets worse every day.

Jimmy Carter V 2.0. You were expecting something else?
Your the 9th person today to wish me a good day today in that fashion. : )
Correction, Jimmy Carter “Vista”

Don't you know MickieD's is hiring?
WORST PRESIDENT EVER
You been to Mickey D’s lately?
I paid $3 for a Big Mac and the patties were the diameter of a beer can and about 1/8th of an inch thick.
You had me audibly laugh out loud on that one. Hilarious. You couldn't be any more right. Our family had to tighten belts and of course put a sweater on in the winter, but this whole thing now seems to be trending more towards the depression era with the high foreclosures, unemployment and general despair by people you run into to.
At least during the Carter years, you could still get a V8 on a passenger car. Now we have the Chevy Firebug, I mean Volt.
