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.

“My opinion of Obama just went up one small notch.”

You both have gone down a BIG notch in my opinion...Jimma is head and shoulders over O’Bambi...O’Bambi makes Jimma look like ... well, a really great president... if there were not others...

Other presidents have called Jimmy to ask how they could be the worst president ever, but Obama didn’t need Jimmy’s advice.

Gotta give Obama credit for not wasting time seeking advise from a failure like Jimmy Carter. Of course Obama’s worse than Carter, but it’s a two man race for the bottom.

Sorry Jimmy, McCain has that job now. He's more effective at creating chaos wherever he goes.

If you don’t get it, and gain more respect for Obama, then you really don’t get it. It doesn’t matter that Reagan had called Jimmah. He probably did, even if that hurts your silly myth of Reagan, what is says instead, it confirms the unAmericanism of Obama. He probably hasn’t called anyone except Bill Ayers and other communists and neo-marxists, and that’s the entire point, but Jimmah is not going to hand it to you on a silver platter, as he himself either doesn’t understand it or is afraid to speak it.

“The way I approach problems is to say, ‘What’s the optimal solution?’ and then work backwards. I like to start with the idea—what’s true to me? Or what’s the best approximation of true?” ~Senator Barack Obama, 2005

So apparently, Obama is working backwards from the optimal solution and he hasn’t worked backward far enough to call Jimmy Carter.

No matter how bad Carter was, and even if you'd never take his advise, I think it was smart for successive Presidents to contact him, probably about things directly related to when he was (a horrible) President. But he was President and made decisions.

Obama not talking to him shows how Obama is. And Carter hates Clinton, to even mention him must have been hard for Jimmuh.

Yeah, Reagan used to call to find out which sweater was best to wear if you were gonna sit in front of the American public and blame them for America’s ills.

Carter is the odds on favorite to be the only president capable of performing a lewd oral sex act on himself.

I reckon one would seek Jimmah’s advice so as to eliminate the fool’s recommendation from the list of options.

Carter is like obama in that he believes he is smarter than others but at least Carter DID try to personally follow his own andates such as th sweaters,helping build houses,etc. It is just that his ideas on public policies were and are self-defeating.

Best summed up by Reagan saying rather than everyone learning to live with a smaller slice of pie we will bake more pies.
