In this exclusive 10-part series, IBD takes a hard look at Jimmy Carter’s administration and compares it to that of George W. Bush, which Carter has called the worst ever.
Installments will cover the economy, foreign policy, human rights, dealing with dictators, fighting Communism and the Democratic leadership in general during times of war.
Part Seven
Leadership: In foreign policy, Jimmy Carter proved his presidency the worst ever by subordinating U.S. interests to his vague "human rights" policy. All he did was enable dictators to take him to the cleaners.
Part Six A Feeble President
Leadership: When men of strength are presented with difficult problems, their responses are firm and decisive. Jimmy Carter spent four years as president of the United States responding with weakness.
Part Five Carter's Red Carpet
Leadership: On President Jimmy Carter's watch, more territory was lost to tyranny than at any other time since Yalta. And he'd have us return to those thrilling days of yesteryear.
Part Four Iran: Carter's Habitat For Inhumanity
Leadership: In the name of human rights, Jimmy Carter gave rise to one of the worst rights violators in history — the Ayatollah Khomeini. And now Khomeini's successor is preparing for nuclear war with Israel and the West.
Part Three Carter Planted Seeds Of Al-Qaida
Leadership: After being told over and over by President Jimmy Carter that America's ability to influence world events was "very limited," the Soviet Union believed him and invaded Afghanistan. And al-Qaida was born.
Part Two 'Malaise' Maestro
Leadership: When it comes to economic performance, there's no contest: Apart from the early years of the Depression, Jimmy Carter's brief tenure as president was the worst in the 20th century.
Part One Look Who's Talking
Leadership: So Jimmy Carter calls the Bush administration "the worst in history." This from the man who wrecked the world's greatest economy and made a nuclear Iran and North Korea possible.
Carter is at the top of my bottom dweller’s list.
Can’t wait for the movie.
How have I missed the earlier parts of this? Do you have a ping list? If so please add me.
One of the things about Carter that is frightening is that, despite his pretense of “peace and love” he is actually the most vindictive, critical and hateful person to be President in my lifetime. By his “gold standard” no one else has the right to be President but himself. This man loves terrorists but hates anyone who achieved the Presidency after his disastrous reign. The world “evil” comes to mind.
BFLR.
You gotta see this
Well done!
I absolutely refuse to aknowledge the 39th occupant of the People’s House as president. I always refer to him as “The peanut farmer from Georgia”
His wife, Roz-lynn, is just as bad, if not worse.

If the shah remained in power, it isn't likely the Iraq-Iran War, with upward of a million casualties on both sides, a war that saw Saddam Hussein first use mass-murder weapons, would have taken place.
Nor is it likely there would have been a Desert Storm, fought after Hussein invaded Kuwait to strengthen his strategic position. That led to bases in Saudi Arabia that fueled Islamofascist resentment, one of the reasons given by Osama bin Laden for striking at America, the Great Satan.

I have been saying for a long time, it is because of the peanut farmer from Georgia that we are in the situation we are in
Oops that was from Part III

Yeah I know but thats how bad it was.
