Carter Unmasked (Devastating Review of Book About Former President)

My distinction is that Carter was the worst president ever - before Clinton, he's still the worst. Neither one of them wants to leave the limelight, and neither one lives by the courtesy code that you do NOT publicly bash a sitting President. They are both the lowest forms of slime to ever ooze from the oval office.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I bet a few posts will say Carter is the worst president ever. But that dishonor should go to Clinton.

Carter was the worst President - Clinton was the worst man ever to become President. But acting out of sheer political self-interest, Clinton managed to get a few more things right than the more ideologically-driven Carter.

[Brilliant]

Maybe, but if he was malicious, then he was as incompetent at being malicious as he was at governing. Clinton, on the other hand, was malicious, and very effectively malicious.

[FlyVet]

The Nobel Prize is just the beginning: Jimmy Carter is enjoying a new day in the sun, with left-wing historians taking a "fresh look" at his disastrous presidency and trying to bamboozle Americans into thinking that it was actually successful. This ongoing Saint Jimmy campaign....

Hmmmph. They're just practicing up for the future Saint Bubba campaign. If you can make a silk purse out of Jimmuh, you can make one out of Billy Jeff Perv.

[Bullish]

Since the whole democrat party is a huge fraud. Jimmy Carter makes a fine spokesperson.

[golfisnr1]

You hit it right on.

[Prost1]

Having lived through this piece of dog dung's unrighteous administration and ignorance I do not need to read the book. Indeed, I wish the man would meet his maker.

Carter would be the little evil man who then and still does Absolutely hate US the most,Clinton the one who used/abused/sold out this Country the most,LBJ crapped on us the most!

[Fruitbat]

Sounds like good reading material about the "pious and decent" former President.

Sounds like a good read for anyone that has an open mind and doesn't already fully realize full well that Carter was an idiot, a coniving deceiver, a liar, and an avid opportunist.

I have other things on my reading list besides the inner workings of the biggest loser of a president in modern times and one that likely will not be topped in that way anytime soon.

[halfright]

Yes, as bad as Carter was he wasn't getting a Lewinsky in the Oval Office. Slick Willy disgraced the Office. How do you tell a 13 year old that the President is in error and oral sex is real sex when he was allowed to lie and the MSM just cast it aside as no big deal?

The Peace seeker Carter gave us perpetual sate of war in Israel, renewed perpetual state of war in North Korea, and a new perpetual enemy with Iran. His Peacemaking will kill us all!

Jimmy Carter's achievments as President:

DOMESTIC -
* Stagflation - the seemingly impossible combination of negative economic growth and rapid inflation.
* 21% "misery index" (inflation + unemployment)
* 14.8% inflation (went from 5.2% to 11.8%, peak 14.8% 3/80)
* 7.8% unemployment (ended at 7.5%)
* 15% mortgage interest rates
* 70% top marginal income tax rate
* 14+% poverty rate
* Formed the Dept. of Education, unconstitutionally entrenching the Teachers Union in the Federal Gov't.
* The 1979 "oil crisis" and more gas lines.
* He told America to wear sweaters, turn down the heater to 68 and just do more with less from now on.
* In his infamous "malaise" speech he actually blamed the American people for the nation's "paralysis and stagnation and drift".
* He Awarded the Presidential Medal Of Freedom to Roger Baldwin, self-avowed Communist and founder of the ACLU.
* He ran a whopping 23% approval rating during 1980 campaign.
* He lost in a 489 to 49 Electoral landslide for Reagan and Republican control of the Senate in 1980. (Thank God!!)

FOREIGN AFFAIRS -
* Gave us 444 days of non-stop world-wide humiliation at our impotent and ineffectual President.
* Approved a poorly planned and botched "rescue" that only added to America's humilation around the world.
* Watched detente crumble with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
* Pulled out of the 1980 Olympics - for spite.
* Gave away the Panama Canal.
* Never did explain that mysterious $250,000 payment from Libya to his brother Billy.
* Allowed three countries to fall to communism under his watch: Benin, Nicaragua, and Zimbabwe.

Jimmy Carter also favored:
* Equal Rights Amendment
* National Health Insurance
* SALT II missile treaty
* Unilateral disarmament

Jimmy Carter is nothing but a spineless, impotent, embarassingly-ineffectual, gutless, socialist, moronic fool who should never have held any Gov't position higher than a paper-clip sorter for Barney Fife.

[Nateman]

But they're both still...

Clinton was more like diarrhea, you had to be sick to get it, it stinks worse and is harder to clean up afterward

[Christian4Bush]

I don't think Jimmah's legacy will be anything but one of failure, no matter what he tries to do.

"Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his." (Ronaldus Magnus, during the 1980 campaign)

[skinkinthegrass]

The difference between Carter and Clinton is that Carter was only incompetent, while Clinton was malicious.

GOOD POINTS. :D
