Since leaving the White House some 30 years ago, former President Jimmy Carter has, for the most part, steered clear of controversy. He's won a fair amount of attention for building houses with Habitat for Humanity, and for the occasional foray into post-presidential diplomacy. (He recently traveled to North Korea to secure the release of an imprisoned American.) And he drew some headlines for publishing a harshly critical book about Israeli policy toward the Palestinians. But on balance, Carter has maintained a relatively quiet life out of office.

"I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents'," Carter said. "Primarily because of the activism and the -- and the injection of working at the Carter Center and in international affairs, and to some degree, domestic affairs, on energy conservation, on -- on environment, and things of that kind. We're right in the midst of the -- of the constant daily debate."
After his comments aired and caused a stir, Carter released a statement to clarify what he intended to say: "What I meant was, for 27 years the Carter Center has provided me with superior opportunities to do good."
Well, Jimmy....whatever you really meant, your work while President was vastly inferior. When performance really mattered, you sucked. I'm old enough to remember.

BTW.....the Agreed Framework deal you managed with North Korea was post presidency. That turned out really well.

Go away and go to Hell. I am not concerned with which one you do first.

Since leaving the White House some 30 years ago, former President Jimmy Carter has, for the most part, steered clear of controversy. Yeah, like when he slammed the Israelis in favor of the Palis, or when he certified the Chavez election.

The lead in this piece is simply preposterous.
Jimmah Cahtah has never stopped meddling in the affairs of presidents since he was kicked out of the White House.

“I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents’,” Carter said
Yeah right!....A legend in your own mind....
To: edpc
That is the stupidest opening sentence I’ve ever read. Jimmy Carter has traveled all over the world shooting off his big mouth, slamming Israel, cozying up to Communist dictators, and undermining President Bush at every opportunity.

The “regime allowed” Apparatchik media patting themselves on the back for ignoring Jimmy Carter all these years before interviewing him. They can’t find anyone else. Even Colin Powell doesn’t have enough testicles.

Yep. I couldn't get past the first sentence:
....former President Jimmy Carter has, for the most part, steered clear of controversy.
What a steaming pant load that statement is.....
