NO, Jimmy Carter isn't even close to being the most incompetent President in History:
1993 WTC bombing #1, planned by Iraq, covered up by Clinton
April, 1995: OKC Federal Building bombing by EIGHT Iraqi false defectors who assisted McVeigh and Nichols to blow up the building, concealed from the news by Jamie Gorelick and Clinton
July, 1996: Airliner bound from NYC JFK to Paris, shot down by a missle which HUNDREDS of witnesses saw. Hidden by Clinton/Jamie Gorelick pressure on FAA, FBI...... Not one witness was interviewed by the NY TIMES, not one. That's information they didn't want to know, so they didn't ask.
Later 1990's: African embassy bombing, USS Cole.....
9/11/2001: The ultimate terrorist attack, could NOT be minimized and ignored.
9/11 Commission: Surely you can see the fix was in. Jamie Gorelick, one of the 9/11 Commissioners.
Now, Carter isn't in Clinton's league. Clinton, who decided early in his administration that terrorism in the United States would be ignored, the terrorists caught and, maybe, just maybe, punished..... If they run and hide, that's OK.
Oh, yeah, 1996, Atlanta Olympic bombing with NAILS in bomb, sorta Middle Eastern Terrorism, right? WHY would an abortion clinic bomber pick the Olympics? Well, he didn't. He was given a life sentence in exchange for claiming he bombed Atlanta. It was Middle Eastern Terrorism.
Oh yeah, did you forgot Clinton's national security advisor, Sandy Berger, who stuffed TOP SECRET Special Catagory documents into his underwear and socks while getting documents for the 9/11 Commission hearings? Sure you did, nothing to see here, is there?
A nice compact story that explains it all. The most incompetent President in History, and you pick Jimmy Carter who was just incompetent, not an evil lying SOB like Clinton.

Has Jimmy Carter ever met a dictator he did not love? Unfortunately, this darling of worldwide leftists cannot seem to disappear from the world stage. Listed herewith are some of the more egregious of our 39th President's follies. The consistent theme is his unwavering support for socialist dictators.
n President Jimmy Carter invited Robert Mugabe to the White House in 1980 and fully supported this dictator's rise to power in Rhodesia. Moderate black Bishop Abel Muzorewa had been elected to the post of prime minister. However, President Carter with the support of the world press succeeded in declaring the election null and void. Mugabe, an avowed Marxist, was elected in a second election. The totals of the Zimbabwe disaster under Mugabe are still being tallied: 70 percent unemployment, a total dictatorship, the displacing of productive white farmers and the resulting destruction of productive farms, an exodus of three million Zimbabweans from the country.
n Jimmy Carter has shown a special dedication to the cause of leftist dictators in Central America. He used the full power of the office to undermine and set the stage for the overthrow of the duly elected Anastasio Somosa in Nicaragua, to be replaced by the Marxist Sandanista Daniel Ortega. No matter that the Somosa election had been certified by the OAS. He continues to offer moral support for Marxist dictators Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
n The Iran hostage crisis occurred under Jimmy Carter's watch. From Nov. 4, 1979 until Jan. 20, 1981 some 66 Americans were taken hostage and held in the American Embassy in Teheran. They were released within hours of President Ronald Reagan's swearing in ceremony. Just prior to his inauguration, President Reagan was asked if perhaps the captors should wait until he became president so as to make a better deal for the captives release. Reagan replied, "That would be foolish."
n Ex-President Jimmy Carter has been instrumental in the rise to power of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Hugo Chavez was saved from recall by the voters in Venezuela in 2004 with Carter "monitoring" the election. The election was suspicious on many fronts. The exit polls conducted by an independent New York poling firm declared one half hour before the polls closed that Chavez had been defeated. When the official results were announced, Chavez was declared the winner by nearly the exact opposite percentages as the independent poll had determined. Jimmy Carter certified the Chavez victory anyway. Chavez has shown himself to be a continual hater of the United States.
n One of the most serious threats to global security is the nuclear threat posed by Marxist dictator Kim Jung Il of North Korea. In 1994, without governmental authority, Jimmy Carter went to North Korea and brokered a deal with Kim Jung Il that was supposed to keep that rogue state from attaining nuclear weapons. Jimmy's "negotiation" called for the United States to provide the North Koreans with $4 billion worth of light water reactors and $100 million in oil in exchange for a promise not to develop weapons plus assurances that inspectors would be allowed in. On Aug. 28, 2003 North Korea announced that it possessed nuclear weapons.
n Perhaps the most egregious and far reaching of the Jimmy Carter failures was his bringing down of the Shah of Iran in 1979, to be replaced by radical Muslim cleric Ayatollah Khomeini. The history of Iran is such that a secular government friendly to both the West and their trading partners along the ancient trade routes, such as India and China, had been an important stabilizing element in Mid-east politics for centuries. Jimmy Carter pressured the Shah, a longtime friend of the United States, to leave Iran. Then he denied him asylum and medical treatment. At the same time he supported the fundamentalist Mullahs who opposed the Shah. A religious revolution followed and the rise of Muslim fundamentalism had begun in the Middle East. The terrorism and overall unrest that plagues the world today can be properly traced to this specific failure of the Jimmy Carter presidency.
It is popular in some circles to blame others such as the United States, or Israel, or George Bush for the instability and radicalism in the Middle East while overlooking the role that Jimmy Carter played in the current situation. But it is a fact of history that Jimmy Carter played a key role in creating the two most important threats to global security today, namely Iran and North Korea.
Jimmy Carttuh I will live longer than you will do to our age difference. It will do my heart good to stop by and (when know one is looking and add) water your grave when your gone, and do a little dance on your stone. Your a miscreant, fit right up the with Annan, as worst people from the 20th century. If it was up to you, and your policies, You'd have America reduced to a third world nation. Jimmy, look up puker in the dictionary, your picture is there.
I always believed Jimmy Carter was the greatest blunder in U.S. presidential history.
