Carter is so bad, so inept, so stupid, he couldn't even get elected to a second term as governor of Georgia!

And it appears he hasn't learned ANYTHING since being booted. He is still stupid and out of touch.

What the press really ignores, however, is how much of Carter's foreign policy ineptitude is directly related to our current problems in the Middle East. Carter didn't stop Lebanon from descending into a perpetual war zone. Carter lost Iran to Muslim extremists. Carter's response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was to boycott the Moscow Olympics. Carter did nothing to deter the Iran-Iraq war. Carter's great accomplishment, his treaty between Israel and Egypt, set the tone of "land for peace" that has not only made a mess of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict but Sadat was assassinated, in part, over it and Egypt hasn't been as moderate since. Yeah. Great president. I don't think the US could have survived a second term. We'd all be pledging alegence to a hammer and sickle.

Carter really takes the cake. Insane gas lines, he lost us the Panama Canal, and he sat and watched while a western-friendly Iran fell to the savages, thusly making him largely culpable for the rise of terrorism in the last quarter century. What a gem.

Warren Harding was also a horrible presiden, but Jimmy Carter is the worst in American history. 2+ decades later there is still fallout from his debacle of an administration. At least Harding loved America.

I always thought Carter was just an incompetent boob, but he has proven me wrong. Because of his hatred of America which he now has a problem keeping hidden, I realize that many of the "dumb" things he did were actually deliberate attempts to undermine this country because he is a commie. I thought that he was an honest incompetent boob, but now articles have come to light recently showing that his attempts at a shakedown of the Shah of Iran is what led to the beginning of the terror war on America. Now I know why Carter has always been friendly with every crooked commie dictator on the planet - because he is just like them or at least a wannabe commie crook who hates this country like they do.

Local paper ran an editorial saying what a great energy plan Carter had (compared to Bush). The left's desperation is driving them crazy.

Mugabe became president of Zimbabwe because Carter would not allow an election without Mugabe.

Hope he takes Bubba with him.......those two are such a stain (no pun intended........yes it was) on the Presidency that no one in their right mind could see ANYTHING good about their terms. Doom, gloom, stupidity (Carter) deviancy, corruption, sell outs (Clinton)......what a pair!

As bad as he was in office, I think he has been worse since he left (his tenure has been longer). He has had his hand in both North Korea and Venezuela, the biggest trouble spot today and the biggest trouble spot in the near future.

He was/is awful.

And we can't even impeach him.

Jimmah: officious, meddling `busy-body'. I would say he
needs a hobby, but his `hobby' is hurting his country.

"Inept" and "worst" are completely different considerations. A completely inept President may not do any harm.

Woodrow Wilson is on track to go down in history as the beginning of the end of the United States. The Federal Reserve act became law on his watch. His incompetence at Versaille set the stage that led to WWII and gave us the worse than useless UN. The XVIth and XVIIth Amendmendments were passed. The combination of these two amendments and the Federal Reserve Act made socialism possible in the United States. A serious case can be made by any competent thinker that Wilson could be held accountable for a claim to being the "worst".

The problem of naming Wilson as the "worst" means there is no place in the ranking low enough to put Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt is the father of US socialism, and socialism is the cancer that is killing the United States, even as we speak.

And that still leaves the problem of William Jefferson Clinton. If the US manages to survive for more than another decade, China will reach super-power status. A strong case can be made that WJC betrayed his country and made it possible for the Chinese communists to acquire technology to which they otherwise could not have gained access. And it is probably true that the technology they acquired could make them a genuine military threat to the United States when they otherwise might have required additional decades to become a legitimate military threat on their own. A very strong case can be made that WJC traded the technology in exchange for the Chinese making adequate campaign funding available to keep Clinton in office long enough for the complete transfer of all the technology the Chinese needed to close the gap including the acquistion of super computers.

Buchanan the worst? In the Democrats' dreams!

There was a time when I saw Carter as a lousy President but a basically decent man.In recent years,I've come to recognize him as being just plain lousy.

Since the Clinton years, I have looked at ol' Jimmah as an older version of the 'Toon. He's a slimy, southern, dem/lib/socialist ex-governor but without the so-called Clintonian charm. Carter is/was completely devoid of administrative ability and people skills. He has degenerated into a bitter old man who gets his jollies bashing Republicans and trashing the United States. Oh, I almost forgot -- he has something else in common with Bubba -- a bitchy, domineering wife!

I was living in Baytown, Texas when Jimmy was running for President. I wanted to vote for him. He was Southern and Southern Baptist, as was (and am) I. Little ethnic pride there. I disliked Gerald Ford, an extremely moderate Republican. A RINO before there were RINOs.

But Jimmy would not state where he stood on any issue. That, and the fact that he was a Democrat, a party obviously infected by reds and pinkos even then, was enough for me.

I got a job back home in Alabama. Moving day coincided with election day. The last thing my wife and I did on the way out of Baytown was to stop by the polling place and pull the lever against Jimmy. I've never had cause to regret that decision, although I often regretted that not enough people made the same choice.

I don't know that Jimmy was the worst President of modern times. LBJ deserves some serious consideration. And Nixon set back the conservative cause considerably by running right and governing left. But certainly, he is a major contender for the "honor".

Jimmy Carter should be the one liberal preserved and put on display. All others should become extinct. (Ala Rush)

Why can't Jimmuh just shut up and play golf, like Gerald Ford?

And if you think Jimmuh is bad, get ready for decades and decades and decades of Bill Clinton.

Old leftists never die. They just go on and on and on until Satan himself has to come and claim what he bought and paid for.

The most inept president of the post-war period. That would be post-Civil War.

Old age finally shut Ford up. Maybe the grim reaper will finally relieve our suffering from this festering boil called Carter.
