Jimmy Carter: Obama the Only President So Far Not to Call Me for Advice

Jimmy Carter has been very active in the decades since his presidency, and his successors have occasionally called for his advice. Except, it turns out, the current occupant of the office. A clip from Carter’s upcoming Meet the Press interview reveals that President Obama is the first president since Carter left office not to solicit the Southern Democrat’s advice.

Carter explained, “President Clinton did and President George W. Bush and H.W. Bush and even Ronald Reagan used to call on us to go into sensitive areas.” They all asked Carter to deal with “unsavory characters,” but Obama hasn’t reached out to Carter for similar consulting.

Even a rank dumbass can recognize another rank dumbass.

Yes, but I think the chump in the White Hut now, is ranker and dumber.

Seems to me at least Carter tried to walk the walk...when he asked the rest of us to conserve he wore sweaters all the time to keep the heat down ....supposedly.

Obama doesn't even try ....he rubs our face in it. To him his policies are for the little people, not the likes of his wonderful exalted self and we're supposed to accept that.

[PghBaldy]

Obama thinks he is smarter than everyone else. He has even said it.

[Always A Marine]

My opinion of Obama just went up one small notch.

You took the very words right out of my mouth!

Jimmy, I think you're the only president who called him for advice. What else could explain your time in office?

But hey, don't give up hope.

If anything, he'll call you to call in the debt you owe him for replacing your name on the "Worst President EVER!" trophy.

There are two reasons to seek advice:

To learn what you can to and to learn what not to do.

Take a guess as to why they are calling you, Jimmah.

[Hoodat]

Why would a narcissist seek advice? And why would someone who is unwilling to lead need advice?

[mtrott]

Simple explanation: Hubris. Obama thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room at all times, so why should he call Carter?

[napscoordinator]

If this is true, I have less respect for Clinton, and Bush I and II.

He said Reagan did too…..hummmmm.

[cva66snipe]

Why would he call Carter for bad advice when he has Joe Biden? LMAO

[ilgipper]

Obama needs no advice. He is smarter than everyone else.

[TBall]

No doubt Reagan called when he needed a laugh.

[Hoodat]

Reagan would call to find out what didn’t work.

[dfwgator]

Exactly Reagan would call Jimmy and do the exact opposite of what Jimmy told him.

[clearcarbon]

Comrade obama never takes advice from those smarter than himself.

[miele man]

“Jimmah, ahm sorry, ah jes caint ask you to go talk to Vladimir, it’d make me look weaker than you. Buhbye.

[TexasFreeper2009]

GOOD GRIEF!!!

who would call Jimmy Carter for advice!!!!

[TexasFreeper2009]

Maybe they want to know what Carter would do... so they can do the opposite?

[Cyber Liberty]

Anybody find this sentence a little odd?

Carter explained, “President Clinton did and President George W. Bush and H.W. Bush and even Ronald Reagan used to call on us to go into sensitive areas.”

"Us?" Is he still carrying a mouse in his pocket?

[Chaguito]

Blind, blind, pit...
