He is every one of those things, and more. I used to think that he was a decent, well-meaning man who was just incompetent and in over his head. I was wrong about the first part.

Carter -- the PRE Clinton.......

[Fred Nerks]

As an Australian, what really really bugs me is the impression most of the rest of the world has; that Carter represents America. People in Australia, and Europe (which is far more detrimental) assume Carter's twisted and evil mind are somehow representative of the US in general. Think about it. The average aussie for example, doesn't ask him/herself what side of politics he comes from...he's an American, and taking money (bribes) from the very people who shout their hatred of America at every opportunity, tarnishing everything (including the aussies) stand for.
Europe hates the US? I don't think so. I think what they hate is the duplicity, the treasonous behaviour of people like Carter. With him around, with the amount of influence he seems to have, why would any european (well, those that do support Israel,) trust the US?

Good one, Claudia Rosett. Once she starts, she won't let go until she's finished with him. Carter is a liability the world cannot afford now. Or ever.

Coming from Georgia, I made the mistake of voting for Jimmy for Governor ( I think it was in 1970). Ironically, he was considered more conservative than former Governor Carl Sanders.

Carter won the Presidency because he was perceived a Mr. Clean afer Watergate, and also more conservative than Teddy Kennedy or the other raving leftists at the time. George Wallace actually paved the way for a Southern Governor to be elected Pres. Carter was a palatable Southern Governor that tapped into that Wallace "fed up with leftist Northern Democrats."

Oh how times change. As President, Carter's incompetency and timidity was his hallmark. He was well know as a micomanager that insisted on taking over scheduling the WH tennis courts. Read the book by Delta Force's Col on how he micromanaged the Iranian rescue mission. Even a bad President like Carter did a few good things: Camp David Accords and setting in place the development of the B-2 Bomber are about all that I can think of there.

These past years he has stabbed both Clinton and Bush in the back with his poorly thought out appeasement foreign policy initiatives.

Carter is one of those guys that things God is on his side and coupled with his surrender monkey philosophy, is an embarrassment to our country and my great state of Georgia.

All I can say is God Bless Ronald Reagan and his legacy. God Bless George W. Bush and his determination to fight terrorism.
