It’s been a disastrous couple of weeks for President Barack Obama. His signature legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, is a slow-motion train wreck. His poll numbers have tanked.
Now, things have gotten so bad for Obama that former president Jimmy Carter has called President Obama incompetent in the family-friendly pages of Parade magazine.
“He’s done the best he could under the circumstances,” Carter said of Obama in an interviewed published on Thursday. “His major accomplishment was Obamacare, and the implementation of it now is questionable at best.”
Carter presided over what was, until the current recession, the longest period of economic stagnation since the Great Depression. There was runaway inflation, high unemployment and an ongoing energy crisis. There was a hostage crisis in Iran involving the capture and imprisonment of 52 Americans for 444 days.
In the summer of 1979, Carter gave one of the least effective speeches any president in the history of the American presidency. The deeply unpopular “Crisis of Confidence” speech became widely known as Carter’s “malaise” speech.
Carter lost his 1980 reelection bid to Ronald Reagan by an electoral vote total of 489 to 49. He won only six states, along with the District of Columbia.
The 39th president’s Parade interview touched on several subjects in addition to Obamacare including his grandson’s role in a hidden camera video of Mitt Romney, the Middle East, the Trayvon Martin case and the recent tribulations of fellow Georgian Paula Deen.
Carter’s wife Rosalynn was also present at the interview and contributed to it.

You know things are bad when a major league loser calls you a loser. LOL!
You can’t get much lower. This is like puke telling you that you smell bad.
Carter is more than happy to be the 2nd worst president.
One of those "circumstances" stares back at him from every mirror.
Carter may have been incompetent, but at least (back in the day) I believe he had America’s interests at heart.
Not so for the illegal, illegitimate used piece of toilet paper who currently sticks to the floor in our White House.
Pot meet kettle...
Carter’s ‘Pot and Kettle’ Moment.
Thak you, Captain Obvious!
I’m laughing my ass over here!!!
JIMMY CARTER turns on “The One”!!
Well, in keeping with the new Narrative - “It’s Because Jimmy Carter MUST BE Racist!!!”
This crap just writes itself!!! HA!
...and heading into the homestretch, 0bama appears to have a commanding lead to the bottom.
Jimmy’s brother who used to go peeing in all the runways at airports in the open was the talent in that family, I bet the talent regarding Obama is the brother making the $10 a year; at least it Obama’s brother doesn’t cost anyone money.
imagine....... OBONGO BEER!!!!
“-—best he could under the circumstances”-—and that circumstance being he’s a Kenyan dumbass without any kind of knowledge base or even mental tools to work with. Falls into the takes one to know one category. I think Jimmah means he’s not going to recruit Obamuzzie to build houses.
And I still don’t forgive Jimmah for stopping construction, after the keel had been laid, of the USS Nimitz. It cost us huge to mothball then restart that ship. just superdumb.
I don’t think he will end up that close to the cellar....professional rankings usually come out around 20-25th worst...but in our lifetimes there is probably no doubt unless you go back to Harding. :)
This is a disaster for both of these great men. Is there any way to throw some more Nobel Prizes their way without upsetting the right-wingers at the New York Times and Washington Post?
...But in truth, the joke is on America, and the joke’s just beginning. Wait til you see who we elect next on the basis of race and charm!
