To Jimmy’s credit, he popularized the term “nukular.”

No he didn't, his daughter Amy did.

Oh, BTW it was Nuclear with the MSM friendly President Jimma' Carter.

How did “Jimma” ever make it through the Academy with such high grades? Did he becme brain dead in the early 80’s? He has been nothing but “STUPID” since ending his time in the Navy.

Hmmmm, I seem to recall a 'war' which inflamed under Carter's administration and has continued to this day ... Islamic Jihad.

"[D]uring the period of my administration not a drop of the blood of a single citizen was shed by the sword of war."

Hmmmm, I seem to recall the failed "Operation Eagle Claw" which resulted in 8 U.S. servicemen killed in an effort to rescue American hostages held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, of which its taking was an act of war.

"the best environmental president we ever had." He was a pie in the sky, weak-kneed, ignorant peanut farmer who wouldn't have had the slightest clue on how to micro-manage US through a war so it's a good thing we didn't suffer one while he was busy neglecting the rapidly deteriorating and demoralized military.

Revisionist history. The worst, most incompetent President history has room for, Jimmah Cahrtah.

Actually it was only 13% inflation as I recall. This inflation was the predictable result of the Nixon administration's dumping of money into the economy to stimulate the economy

You might want to put down the lighter and step away from the bong. When Carter ran against Ford in 1976, inflation was running at 4.8%. Carter called this "unacceptable". When Carter left office in 1981, it was at 12.6%. It peaked at 18% during his administration (not to mention interest rates, gas lines, Cubans in Angola, Russians in Afghanistan, etc.)

Jimmy Carter is a bitter man who was a complete failure of a President. It took eight years of Reagan to fix what he had screwed up in four.

He lowered the bunny population.

No he didn't. The bunny lived.

I will never forgive the bunny. He had Jimmuh in his sights and he let him get away.

“He [Jimmah] lowered the bunny population”

You’re wrong! That killer rabbit escaped the presidential oar, swam away (pix!) and then went off to do what rabbits do best - multiply!

That killer rabbit’s genes have been spread to millions of lepus progeny and they now roam the forests and lakes in search of human prey as vulnerable as Jimmah.

;^)

Anyway, when this heeshee columnist describes the opposition’s perceptions accurately and then calls them wrongheaded, then there’s something wrong in the beholder’s noggin. IMHO.

Not to mention air pollution so thick you could cut a square foot block of it with a penknife ....

OK, so that wasn't Jimmah's fault, but what the heck, why not pile on anyways? /grin

Poor Jimmy..
All the Saudi money in the world can't put Humpty Dumpty back together again..

Carter comes as close to a traitorous President - than ANY in history...

Carter's legacy is cast in stone - he's an undeniable Jew hating, Muslim owned pimp. He hasn't met a Communist or Dictator he doesn't respect...

His anger at America is driven by the fact his administration was the worse in ANY living memory or documented history -— and he blames America, not his own incompetent feckless imbecilic performance.

F'em.....and the horse he rode in on.
