Carter: 'Probably superior' to other ex-presidents

*** UPDATE 3:59 pm ET *** Former President Carter issued a written statement after his comments aired:

"What I meant was, for 27 years the Carter Center has provided me with superior opportunities to do good."

In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, former President Jimmy Carter, who has been a target of the right through the years, lauded his own post-presidency, telling Williams, "I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents."

Carter, who is out with a new book defending his legacy, backed up his assertion by saying the Carter Center goes where the United States government does not, "to fill the vacuums in the world."

There is only one president worse than Carter, imo, and that is our current president.

The clown thinks people are laughing with him when they are really laughing at him.

Jimmy Carter...one of the biggest jokes in American politics.

In an existential sense he, like a stinky dog turd on a hot sidewalk, does not realize how utterly useless and disgusting he is.....

Jimmy has never forgotten the ass-whumping he received in 1980. He still can’t believe that Reagan beat him. He’ll never forgive the American people for giving him what he sees as a personal humiliation.

He is the poster child for how not to behave post presidency.....

At first I was kind of feeling sorry for the old man and thought someone will step into save him from himself and his humiliation but now he is just another liberal nutcase......

Jimmuh can rest in peace, knowing that his worthy successor is now being groomed in the White House. Someone to run around the world, well-paid to bad-mouth his country, for decades to come.

Of course, Hussein Obama makes him look good. He’s no longer the worst president ever.

I don't agree. No matter how badly Obama's policies have failed otherwise, he gave the order to take out OBL when he had the chance. IMHO, that puts him back ahead of Carter.
