America had enough of Jimmy Carter, now if he would just go away

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!

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

Hey,c'mon...get Mugabe's title right!

It's "President-For-Life Mugabe".

Carter's response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was to boycott the Moscow Olympics.

I read somewhere that the reason the Soviets went into afghanistan in the first place was that they KNEW Carter would do nothing about it... thus the Mujahedeen, which we, at the time, had to support, thus the Taliban, thus Al-Qaida, thus 9-11..

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)

[Alouette]

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.

[CharlieOK1]

Don't know much about J Buchanan. Why would some consider him the worst?

[printhead]

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

[cynicom]

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

[kjo]

Buchanan was President as secession was unfolding; he believed that secession was unconstitutional but there was nothing the Executive could do about it. So, that's what he did: nothing. He waited for the Lincoln Administration to take office and thus passed the buck on resupplying Ft. Sumter. He never understood (like Carter) that the job of the President was to lead.

[Reaganghost]

"Don't know much about J Buchanan."

Nor I.

"Why would some consider him the worst?"

Maybe as a diversion to take the heat off Wilson, Roosevelt, and Clinton.

[printhead]

I remember something with a punchline about the similarities with the L.I.R.R. and pulling out of Rosalynn by 7:15.

[Dawgreg]

Shoot Cynicom! WE don't want the old commie........why would the grim reaper want him? *~*

[cynicom]

Don't give Grim Reaper any ideas. Maybe if we threw in a few bucks, Reaper might hustle along????

"Even DUers tend to ignore him."

He showed up in Berkeley a few years back and a huge crowd of people waited hours just to see him. I think he's even more popular than Mao and Ho in that town.

"But, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. That makes him good, doesn't it?"

Actually, given the current discredited leftist America hating assholes on several Nobel section committees --- the Nobel Peace Prize was the final nail in the coffin of a thoroughly inept and dangerously stupid president's legacy...

At this point, only his death may soften or end the damage this self delusional asshole has done to America...

So did that other paragon of virtue and enlightened "democracy" - Yassar Arafat.
