By me Carter was the WORST.

Man that guy messed up my life.

First, let us discuss those long gas lines. I had a baby and a full time job. In order to work I needed gasoline. And then I had to wait in line sometimes for hours.

Second, INTEREST RATES. I had a house when Carter was President but thought I’d never be able to get a new one. Mortgage rates were upwards of 18%.

Third, the great Iran hostage crisis. Not only did a bunch of camel jockeys take Americans hostage, when the great military commander James Carter tried to rescue them the plane crashed and....awful....just awful.

Oh, and do we remember Carter bragging how he turned on the fire in the home fireplace but turned on the air conditioner at the same time lest it get too hot? A typical elite silly action.

I despised this man and one of my happiest days was his losing the first election after America stupidly elected him once.

Nothing compared to 1973!

You make good points but he’s still not as bad as POSObama.

I have a lawyer friend who had just graduated, had his first mortgage....with a variable rate! He’s still mad about it.

My dad was a cattle man so burning thousands of gallons of fuel while paying 15% to borrow money, Carter sucked.

I had a really good job as a carpenter when he was president.

That all ended when the housing market totally collapsed under huge interest rates.

I lost my job as did most everyone in the construction business. I was young and made it but it took a huge toll on the older guys that had nowhere to go and nothing to do.

I also remember being in Seattle and being able to buy only three dollars worth of gas at a time.

Only hussein is worse than that grinning idiot.
