While Carter was President, he was out fishing and claimed that a vicious rabbit swam out to attack him. I am not kidding.
Sounds good. Could anyone recommend the best anti-Kennedys book?
For years, when presented with the tired old adage that "oh, he's a good man, he just wasn't a good president," I've disagreed vehemently.

If one lists the bad things each did in his official capacity, I think Carter's got Clinton beat by 5280'. Clinton's unofficial actions during his term may have been worse that Carter's during his term, but looking at official acts there's no comparison.
I'll disagree on that. At least Slickmeister has the Republican congress keeping him somewhat in line during his terms. Carter had the whole enchilada during his term.
In the book "Reagan's War" the tale is told about how Fidel Castro did not want the US the do miltary exercises at Guantanomo, so Fidel had a few protesters protest and sure enough Carter called it off with Castro laughing his head off.
Does anyone have a good link for the Rabbit story?
The only good thing in the Carter White House was brother Billy.
Wow! BUMP!
Carter sounds like an early version of Bill Clinton, but without the sex and drugs.
Jimmy Carter is one of the top 2 or 3 greatest traitors ever to have soiled the WH.
Actually it should go to LBJ.
Chuckle.
"Carter was the worst President - Clinton was the worst man ever to become President"
Excellent quote.
BTW, someone just pointed out that Kennedy was also a bad man for his many sexual exploits in office. However, I still rank the impeached liar Clinton far below Kennedy, any day of the week.
I no longer think that Carter was only incompetent. His decisions as president added to his present-day speeches tell me he is something worse; a man who doesn't believe in his country and one who is willing to say so in time of war.
You have also forgot that his wife took a picture with John Wayne Gacy.
You know, in another thread I remarked how I always regret missing the Reagan years. However, I must admit to being very happy not to having had lived through the Carter years.
No, it should go to Carter simply because he was such an inept politician. Clinton at least had some political savvy (at least when his pants were zipped up)
I think Carter was more malicious in that he convinced so many people that he wasn't.
The massive blunder Carter committed as President -- that was repeated by Bill Clinton in 1993
The Carter executive order that Barry Goldwater blasted as "the most disgraceful thing a president has ever done"
I've been trying to think of the Goldwater thing ALL DAY!
Probably federalizing half of Alaska for the National Parks.
