Carter Blasts Bush on His Global Impact

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Former President Carter says President Bush's administration is "the worst in history" in international relations, taking aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.

The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented for the 39th president, also took aim at Bush's environmental policies and the administration's "quite disturbing" faith-based initiative funding.

"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history," Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper's Saturday editions. "The overt reversal of America's basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me."

I found this hilarious coming from the president that brought us the current Iranian regime.

His negative criticism is proof that Bush's foreign policy is spot on!

Yawn.....I’m sorry Jimmy, were you saying something?

Jimmy mention how much better he’d like Bush if he were a third world dictator? Preferably one with large numbers of the ruled living in abject squalor.

Maybe, but he has always been an idiot.

The good news is that he is no longer dangerous like the old days.  I recall the disbelief when he beat Ford, still shake my head on that one.

My how the south has changed.

I find it hard to believe it is worse than Hitler's, Stallin's and Carter's.

I dont hate much in life, but I can proudly say I hate Jimmy Carter. When that POS dies, this American will not fly his flag at half mast.

Since we're reminiscing,

Remember the price of gasoline?

How about the fireside chat with Jimbo wearing a sweater and asking everyone to set their thermostats to 55 degrees?

Man, those were the days. I really missed Carter... and he is awfully lucky I did! (Humor alert to the NSA sniffers)

Who cares what Jimmah has to say about anything. He is so over and has been over for such a long time I’d never even think of him if he wasn’t mentioned here once in a while. He could have died ten years ago and I’d never have missed him. He is such a zero.

Carter.....what an ignorant ass. If I could, I would enjoy knocking his teeth down his throat. Too bad the bunny didn’t get him. Where is lightning when you need it?

philosophical question: it's a great way to slam Carter, but is doing so also a disrespect to the flag by not following the flag code?

God forgive this senile old bastardo for he knows not or understands what he says.

Carter the useless moron is a great example of a Democrat Ass.

Evidently history did not teach all those Ross Perot voters a damn thing, because in the end it gave us another Cigar Chomping Hill Billy with no class from Hope.

It looks like those same fool me once shame on me Ross voters are about to be fooled for a second time if they help Hellary or Osama Obama get to POTUS.

Only this time there will not be any way to repair the damage left behind by the Cut and Run Socialist Democrats.

Carter is irrelevant. I’m not the biggest fan of the President especially with his cheer leading of the current immigration bill but he deserves credit for doing what Carter would have never did which was to stand up to and go after the enemy.

I’ll bet two rescued EDS employees against two burning helicopters and several dead service members that Ross Perot was a better commander than Carter.

I don't actually (shamed) but I remember my first car, (I was sixteen) a Ford Boss 302, Grabber Blue that my father helped me buy.

Of course I let the kids in auto shop circa '73 work on it.

Kids these days have no idea what a fast car is.
