I realize your development was arrested when they cancelled Dukes of Hazzard, but there's a new standard for "Worst President Ever." You might want to get updated before posting.

Carter was one of the better presidents of the latter half of this century, which is why it is so unfortunate that nobody listened to him. McCain and all these Republicans cry "Drill, Baby, Drill!" like they are the first people on God's green earth to undertand the energy problem. (Funny part being is that McCain is still myopic in regard to energy policies.) Pres. Carter worked a perfectly viable plan to wane us off oil, and we all thought it was a joke. Hindsight favors Carter. Jimmy Carter worked the Camp David Accords, even as both sides were ready to walk away from the table. He had memorized the name and population of every West Bank settlement. Carter understood the problems of his day, and it is then unfortunate that he did not have the abilities to see his solutions come to fruition. You should think twice before you use that man's good name for your to gain points in favor of your faulty political intuitions.

These days.. even Carter is looking a little good.
What's funny is he must skip over eight years of Bush, eight years of Clinton, 12 years of Bush I and Reagan, just to get to Carter...LOL

He's going back three Decades for material for his scare tactics....LOL

Yeah... and what slick talk was it that got Bush elected?

I'll save a tissue for you on November 4th.

We will all need tissues if Obama gets elected, except for the worthless people that like government handouts.

If you have not already voted, it is not too late to stop this train wreck. I was young and foolish and voted for Carter and wished I hadn't. I think it is mostly the young and foolish that are voting for Obama. I guess they will have to learn the hard way. Unfortunately they will be making it hard for everybody. I forgive you in advance, but I wish you would wise up.

Could I add... people who stay up late at night starting pointless political threads with no facts or basis to back their opinion up on an political forum.

Don't worry, I have a whole box of Kleenex with your name on it!

Jimmy Carter was a failed president. That is a matter of history.

His poor judgment in allowing the Shaw to fall combined with his anemic response to the Islamic terrorist "students" invading our embassy in Tehran and taking Americans hostage on Nov. 4th 1979 all but guaranteed the Soviet Union would invade Afghanistan on Dec 24th of the same year, literally as fast as they could assemble troops on the border to mount the offensive.

Now lefties, How many lives were lost on both sides of the USSR-Afghanistan war and not to mention the Iran-Iraq war that soon followed because of the imbalance of power that occurred when the Shaw fell?

MILLIONS! Thank you peace-niks!

OK, now skip ahead to 2009. President Obama makes good on his pledge to bring the troops home. Anyone see any potential problems with that idea?

Not our problem? .....worried more about the economy?

OK, here's the numbers from the last time a Democrat president had four years of a rubber stamp congress and vica-versa.


• Carter: Prime Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. The so-called “Misery Index,” which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election, 20.5%.

• Reagan’s last year: Prime Interest rate, 11%. Inflation, 4.1%. Unemployment, 5.5%. Misery Index, 9.6%.

• Bush today: Prime Interest rate, 7.2%. Inflation, 4.8%. Unemployment, 6.1%. Misery Index, 10.9%.

Barack Hussein Obama is just a chocolate version of Jimmy Carter. Both are weak liberal pushovers that do not have the balls to stand up to Islamic terrorists.
