Jimmy Carter’s passing, the left has gone to absurd and Orwellian lengths to rewrite his legacy, attempting to transform him into a mythical great president. However, those who lived through his presidency know better.
...
It really is up to us to cut through all the noise of the obligatory tributes that are pouring in to make sure that his failings aren’t forgotten.
Among those who aren’t using Carter’s death as an excuse to forget those failings is CNN commentator Scott Jennings, who minced no words in labeling Carter a “terrible president” with a “big ego.”
Jennings argued that Carter’s post-presidency was even worse than his presidency because he was a meddlesome ex-president whose foreign policy interventions often undermined American interests.
“He was a terrible president.. That's why he lost in a landslide after his one term ... he was even a worse ex-president because of his meddling in U.S. foreign policy, because of his saddling up to dictators around the world, because of his vehement views, anti-Israel views, and more than dabbling in antisemitism over the years. “
Jennings .. “He often vexed Democrats. Obama didn't even have him speak at his '08 convention. He put Bill Clinton in a terrible foreign policy box on a North Korea nuclear issue. . he had a huge ego and believed that he was uniquely positioned to do all these things even after the American people had roundly and soundly rejected his leadership.”
...
in the run-up to the Persian Gulf War, he wrote letters to all of our allies and to Arab states asking them to abandon their cooperation and coalition with the United States of America. If it's not treasonous, it's borderline treasonous.

he cared more about his own legacy than he did about the country,

Yep, Jimmy was a slimy POS. I bet the worms won’t even touch his slime.
Jimmy Carter was every dictator’s favorite toilet brush.
“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.” Supposedly a quote from Marcus Antonius, as penned by William Shakespeare.
The worst part of all this is, Jimmy Carter thought of himself as a good man, but blinded by his own reflection.
Naivete or arrogance?
LOL!
Typical one way street leftist world view. Even abject failures on the left are spoken of in glowing terms. No surprise. It’s part of their mental illness.
War there any commie or Islamic America hating dictatorship he didn’t love? I am sick of hearing what a “great man” he was because he took some pictures of himself with a hammer.
Sandinistas lost in Nicaragua. He was the overseer.
And yet in NYS, there are a bunch of digitalized fancy expensive signs touting his “Character!”
Four countries fell to communism during his term, mostly because he supported the communists.
Absolutely! He was such a despicable ex President that I’m seriously considering a visit to his gravesite so I can empty my bladder on his headstone.
“Saddling up” sounds like Carter and The Ayatollah went horseback riding together. (How Romantic!)
:-)
Gee, I expect we will see some Freeper Jackass who will come into this thread and say we are displaying “hate” by posting this article.
I saw it the other day on a Daniel Greenberg factual article.
Many people apparently think Carter was a good man. I don’t.
Carter is a good example of the folly of Democrat’s reliance on the panacea of “democracy”, a very un-American emphasis. Our representative republicis participatory by design but hardly democratic.
Over two decades ago the communists took steps to tie up an electoral process in Venezuela and who but Jimmy Carter was selected to show up and certify said election. His participation sold the future and economy of that once advanced nation into ruin and tyranny for an entire generation. What a stupid tool.
arrogance
Sad but true.. on other issues, too.
Begin the countdown until Scott Jennings has a show on FoxNews.
Umm.... no.
