Having lived through the Carter Years (as a Working adult)
I'd have always thought the absolute worst was old Peanut Carter ..
(remember the lines for Gas .. the High Interest Rates .. unemployment and the other messes to the economy back then?)
Well .. guess what ..
Flash forward to time now .. and we've found far WORSE
(Old Peanut must be relieved to know he's no longer the bottom of the stack)

Scraping the bottom of the barrel here aren't we??
At least we know where Carter is from and can extrapolate that he at least tried to do good for his Country which he Loves.

ABO! We have no contest here. We have one with no clue, and one so clueless that a new word needs to be coined for this clueless one.

And the new word is ''0bama''. A word not formerly used in the english language.

President Jimmy Carter was a better President than Obama, and they're both the worst two President in all of American history.

Actually I'm not sure but Carter in recent years has proven his public persona has aged well, like his anti-Bush tirade at Coretta Scott King's funeral when should of been giving a eulogy about Coretta.

Carter was and is just as dumb as Obama, the only difference is Obama knows how to be a puppet and be told what to do and say. Poor guy really thinks he is not expendable, designed to be used only once and then abandoned or destroyed, just like Hitler was, he served the purpose and yet the agenda just keeps on going. Why, because the head must be destroyed for the body to die, or should I say you have to get to the heart to kill the body.

This was a hard question in every sense of the word--it is like asking who was more honest president between Lyndon Baines Johnson and Richard Milhouse Nixon???

Who did you choose?

reply
michael to Bob S 2012/05/01 21:03:22

Like I said it was a hard choice for me since I dislike both Carter AND Obama hence I threw in two others I disliked too.

This is really a loaded question. Neither was/is good. Obama yesterday said that Romney should stand behind statements he made years ago and be accountable for his many statements. Woe is me...Obummer has not kept hardly one campaign promise. As for Carter his major downfall was his lack of leadership and micro managing just about everything. He never thought an actor would beat him. It turned out that Carter was the actor who was acting like President.

Carter was a nice person and fairly honest. He was just over his head in this job. I'm sure many of us have been in a job we weren't qualified for.

He did a decent job cooling tensions with Israel... He also helped with 3 mile island... many people don't know that JC was a Nuclear Physist.

Carter was bad and created the seeds of financial failure during his administration. Carter's failed Iran rescue and loss of life, equipment and national pride hurt him greatly. But O-butttface is going to hurt us now and in the near and far future. It will be decades if not two/three generations to payoff the debts he is creating.

Carter tried but was naive in many ways, Obama is in his own world and it plain doesn't work.

By the time Carter was through with us, we all felt like going out to the garden and eating worms. He was such a downer. And there was the gas crisis with lines two hours long and limited amounts available. He's a nice guy, a good man but he really wasn't cut out for being President.

and then along came Obama and sat down beside us...The results in just about everything has been a major disaster.

Pat to Bob S 2012/05/01 14:49:18

No, I don't agree with you on that. What I will say and no one can deny, he inherited a huge mess from Bush. Unemployment was already around 7.3% when Bush left office. Bush started two unfunded wars while still giving his wealthy backers tax breaks that helped move our budget further and further into the red. No one could have fixed this with a wave of his hand. Obama has made head way even without the support of the GOP who have stymied his programs one after the other. If we can gain more Democrats in the House and keep or increase the Dems in the Senate, I believe we will see real progress must faster than we've seen so far.
