Finally McCain got one right. Jimmy was truly THE WORST president I have ever seen. He was the sole reason I left the Democratic party. However, now after witnessing what Obama is doing I must say he may beat out Carter as the worst POTUS.

McCain is correct.

And there's a difference between those of us that had to live through the four years of he!! of the Carter administration and those (Jordan) that know Carter by typing his name in at google.com.

"Carter himself will be remembered fondly as both a good and decent man and as a good and decent President."

This fond memory is about to change:

"At The Corner yesterday, Hans von Spakovsky offered a compelling explanation: Carter himself has a history of virulent racism. The facts, drawn from A Voting Rights Odyssey by Laughlin McDonald, director of the ACLU's Voting Project, are astonishing:

When Carter returned to Plains, Georgia, to become a peanut farmer after serving in the Navy, he became a member of the Sumter County School Board, which did not implement the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision handed down by the Supreme Court. Instead, the board continued to segregate school children on the...

As everyone forgotten that Carter and his administration are responsible for Iran? Thanks to Carter, the Shah of Iran was ousted and he recommended supporting his buddy the Ayattoleh Khomeini. Hence, the real start of Islamic Jihadist. Khomeini thought it was alright to have sex with animals as long as you killed afterwards so that they couldn't be eaten (Carter called him a true holy man). Dear old Jimmy thinks Hamas should be recognized as the proper governing authority in Gaza and should not be viewed as a terrorist organization. Who's been drinking Kool-Aid? How many Americans and our Allies have been killed by Hamas actions? I saw one poll that rated him not only as the worst president ever but the worst ex-president ever. ...

nothing gets neo-patriot so riled as the seriously underrated President Carter. It is because you guys are clowns whose historic vision are limited to your lived experience. I remember when you oafs argued that Bill Clinton was the most immoral man ever to occupy the White House. I mean--what the hell do you idiots know? seriously..

you guys are never going to stop talking about Carter. It is like his four years were some kind of unique historic moment, rather than a mild blip--in the aftermath of Watergate--on the Republican ascendancy. You are what you say he is--irrelevant losers.

Carter himself will be remembered fondly as both a good and decent man and as a good and decent President. A good and decent man is...

it is everyone on the right these days saying liberalism is a mental disorder. which is just another reason why your moral authority is a zero. you have chosen the easy route of lazy psychobabble to the more arduous route of reevaluating your failed principles. keep up that psychologizing blahblah. it only reinforces what worthless creeps you have become.

Who was it that said liberalism is a mental disorder? I never would have believed it if I did not see it here on a regular basis!

I know that the liberals who come here are not the regular liberal. I have liberal friends (I am a teacher...nuf said)...and none of this come across like the liberals here! I wonder if people like Jordan are so obnoxious in person, or if he/she just feels comfortable spouting his/her hatred anonymously. Does not speak well!

Former president Jimmy Carter needs to merely shut up! He's a failed president and a lousy Democrat at that. All he should be doing is getting his retirement checks from the tax payers and trim those God awful bushy eyebrows he has. I guess he thinks that it makes him look sexy to gay men and money hungry women in America? This verdict I will leave to the American people for further consideration!

Way to go jimmy, and by the way it was the democrat smear machine planting those signs at the Tea Party protest in DC. And they did it all over the country. Same old tired trick.

Notice how those signs were so easy for the fringe media to find. Always prominently displayed and right there for them to exploit. It's why they've become irrelevant. They can't just tell the truth.

And what a transparent attempt at race baiting you feeble old man; its not working. It's just making things so much worse. Thanks dude.

And since we can't criticize a black prez without being called racist it'll be a long, long time before we ever elect another one.

Lesson learned; it's not worth the trouble.

Nope, sorry...

I ought to be grateful to Jimmah, though. His presidency hastened my arrival on the Light Side and my rollicksome Neoconservatism. A truly Vile, Nasty, Small, Bitter Little Turd. He has the temerity to high chair pound over the deserved outrage and sincere criticism of the Obamanation whilst being the same impudent puke who globe trotted his sewage about President Bush--In time of War! The same putz who stood at Coretta King's service and critisized Bush?

A loathsome faux man.

Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment to the nation and to the Naval Academy, from which he graduated. He is well beyond having been merely a bad President. He is acting disreputably as a former President. He is acting like a meddlesome old man who can't stand to sit outside the limelight he craves. He is looking for validation. He is not finding it.
He will not be judged gently by history. Even liberal friends are scandalized by the silly stuff that he spouts at every opportunity, especially when it demeans our great country.
He mollycoddles the worst of our national enemies. He panders to them. He finds virtue in their behavior. He celebrates what even the village idiots know is invalid, such as the "wonderful" health...

Sorry, Sen. McCain, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one for two reasons: 1.) The worst president of the 20th century was Calvin Coolidge, obviously for his tax-cuts for the rich that led to the Stock Market crash and the Great Depression (Bush's tax cuts were a little different and the job he did to protect us from terrorists makes him a near-great president, as I believe President Obama will also soon be.); 2.) frm. President Carter is quite right that there is a racial fear emanating from all of these TEA Party participants and townhall protesters who won't even bother to read the healthcare bill.

"Carter's background" go to my 12:52pm post. That's the Jimmah we know, and love, says the left. They nominated him, they voted for him, and he had a [D] beside his name, when he became Prez. in 1976. Just 6 years removed from his governors race against Carl Sanders. Read for yourself, see what the "racially pure" Carter did to garner the white vote in Georgia in 1970! Seems the "racially pure" Carter did an about face when he ran for Prez. He saw the LIGHT, yes he did! The "racially pure" Carter has as much business schoolin' the country on race, and determining who is, and who is not a racist, as does the street punk-in-chief on free market Capitalism. Jimmah Carter, the "racially pure" face of the American left.

remains as vocabulary-deficient as ever. You see, it is never acceptable to criticize any Dem for any reason, on any topic - according to libs.

@scept: As paddy already noted, Wiki is not the last word on accuracy. Regarding Carter's nuclear experience, it was very limited in both scope and substance, since the program didn't officially start until after he had left the Navy program. And it's pretty obvious that he hasn't kept up with much of the technology and engineering improvements over the past 30 years vis-a-vis nuclear energy stations. See:
http://www.atomicinsights.blogspot.com - Rod Adams - an actual nuclear submarine operator, not some wannabe, like Carter.

You can thank him for keeping us shackled to coal,...

It is not only his domestic failures, but Carter was a foreign policy disaster too: Iran and dealing with Russia, remember? He seems to be an unofficial advisor to Obama. Did he think stripping E.Europe from missile defense protection was a good idea? Is his anti-Israel comments moving BHO to love the Pals, reach out to Iran and be a nice apologist to Muslims when Sept 25-6 comes about here in DC? One thing John knows is something about national security. Neither Prez does. Appeasement was their view of keeping strong. Still is.

Congratulations, JC was not the worst middie ever.Nor was he was the worst Governor of Georgia ever. Whoopee. Having lived through the 70s, he was monumentally worse than Nixon--and that took some doing.I actually think LBJ left a much more problematic legacy than any other President in my lifetime but was he worse than Carter? LBJ was at least an actual President. From the day he got in until the day he got manfully tossed out, Carter had and gained no clue as to what his office required. The dip actually spent time worrying over the WH tennis court schedule. He never exhibited the remotest idea as to how to resolve his country's economic stagnation and he remains next to only Hoover in the mess he left for his successor. His...
