Bush says Carter made life miserable
No bull news service ^ | 2/26/10

Posted on 02/26/2010 11:48:32 AM PST by meandog

The first official reunion of the Bush-Cheney Alumni Association kicked off in Washington, DC today. The “closed-door” event was supposed to be Bush and Cheney’s first joint appearance together since leaving office, but the former vice president had to skip the festivities because of recent health problems.

At the breakfast today (view a picture of the gathering here), Bush talked about his upcoming memoir, joking, “This is going to come as quite a shock to people up here that I can write a book, much less read one.” He also said that Cheney was “feeling well” and “has a fierce constitution,” and according to attendee Gary Karr, Bush “gave an eloquent defense of the freedom agenda.” Bush also explained why he — unlike Cheney — has been relatively quiet about the job President Obama is doing:

I have no desire to see myself on television. I don’t want to be a panel of formers instructing the currents on what to do. … I’m trying to regain a sense of anonymity. I didn’t like it when a certain former president — and it wasn’t 41 or 42 — made my life miserable.

As USA Today notes, Bush is mostly likely talking about Jimmy Carter, since Ronald Reagan “was ill during Bush’s first term and passed away in 2004,” and Gerald Ford “stayed low-key until his death in 2006.” ...

I recently read a book titled "In The President's Secret Service" (sorry, don't remember the author, and it has already been returned to the library). In it, agents who were on Carter's SS detail tell what an arrogant jerk Carter was in the WH. The stories of his personality and Hillary's are almost identical.

That's an eye opener, because down here in the South many folks think he was a pretty "nice" fellow... just incompetent.

Carter makes everyone’s life miserable. It has been his life’s work.

Sorry to say the first thing I thought of was “President Visits Teletubbies”.

(I’m very bad today.)

Why are all the people on the flight deck dressed like Teletubbies? Are the colors for visibility?

LOL, I posted mine before I read yours (re: Teletubbies) - we were thinking the same thing...

I’m not an expert- but the colors designate different jobs. It is very tricky landing planes on a carrier deck so it is very important that everyone know what others are in charge of so no mix ups happen.

Great collection of photos and EV map - kudos!

Ronald Reagan was easily the finest President of the 20th century and continues to be into the 21st century. No one else comes close...

Thanks.

I put this together to give some folks perspective:

“I hope Bush as president didn’t worry about Carter’s statements.”

Not so sure it was Carter’s words as his deeds. IIRC Carter ‘verified’ the integrity of the Venezuelan election and perhaps Ecuador as well. Carter’s lefty actions created a boat-load of geo-political trouble for the US and it’s CIC, IMO.

Somebody please tell W that he's not exactly special; Jimmy "Dementia" Carter made the entire nation miserable. Since leaving office he's made us mostly annoyed.

Add to that, Billy Carter working as an unregistered foreign agent/lobbyist for Libya’s Moamar Qadaffi.
