Former President Jimmy Carter confidently predicted the reelection of President Obama next year. Carter accredited his confidence to “the fact that all of the GOP contenders are so far outside of the mainstream that voters will fear to turn over the awesome powers of the presidency to such extremists.”
Carter characterized the Republican opposition to what he termed the President’s efforts to create a “more caring and nurturing role for government.” “The notion that individuals want to or are capable of managing for themselves is out of date and out of step with where the American people want to go,” Carter contended. “The modern world is too complex for important decisions to be left up to the individual.”
As an example, the former president cited health care. “Does the average person have the knowledge to determine what medications or therapies he ought to take?” Carter asked. “Does he have the perspective to decide whether or not society can afford to invest in expensive treatments? I think most voters will recognize that the answer is no. In this light I think they’ll come to appreciate the President’s bid to relieve them of these vexatious tasks with his healthcare reform legislation and reward him with a second term.”

Just like he forecasted his own re-election, huh? =.=
Billy would have been a better president.
Well there you have it Freepers. We heard the voice from ‘’The Rock’’ of leaders. I guess I’ll just crawl back under my covers and reread Mien Kamph(sp)
Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment to the human race. He should crawl back under the hole where he came from and shut his trap.

He also predicted a quick release of the hostages and low interest rates in his pResidency...
Good, he forecast a Carter win in 1980.
Thanks John, I needed something to laugh about today.
bookmark this for a giggle
If he wins you remain the worst if he looses you win.
Oh, I so wanted this to be real...
too bad he sold his peanut farm, you could tell him to go back to his farm and play with his nuts
Thanks for another good chuckle John.
Well now that Jimmy Carter has weighed in, call off the election! The most brilliant politician of the 20th century has spoken. The man who kissed up to Yasser Arafag, presided over 18% interest rates, allowed Iran to humiliate us for 444 days, who talked about national “malaise”, let the Soviets run wild all over the world, and generally was an utter failure has no credibility.
However, he looks good compared to the Kenyan-born moron who currently befouls the Oval Office. Next November can’t come soon enough.
Didn’t read far enough. It was satire. Oops. But what I said is still true...
Yeah, Jimmy....I guess after a 49 state landslide in Reagan’s favor...you also figured out where the American people wanted to go, didn’t you.....
Carter and Obama, the misery index twins
