Carter: Obama couldn't stop Russia
The Hill ^ | March 24,2014 | Rebecca Shabad

Posted on 03/24/2014 2:22:07 PM PDT by Biggirl

Former President Jimmy Carter said President Obama couldn’t have done anything to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from annexing Crimea.

“I think that was a foregone conclusion,” Carter said on MSNBC. “He was going to do it regardless of the consequences. I think now, that’s far enough.”

In comments Monday on "Morning Joe," Carter compared Obama's response to his own decisions at the White House in 1979, when he decided to boycott Moscow's Summer Olympics after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.

It’s come to this, Carter giving advice to Obama. How much more pathetic can the Obama administration get? How much worse off could America be?

Said the stand-around-and-stare president who is in a dogfight for going down as the worst president ever.

"It’s come to this, Carter giving advice to Obama. How much more pathetic can the Obama administration get?"

Jimmy Carter is a veritable war monger compared to Obama.

Upon the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan He ordered Defcon One and issued the Carter Doctrine...which, supposedly, stands today.

Perhaps if we secretly introduced lawyers and entitlements into Russia and China. That would bring them to their knees.

Carter made it possible for the mad mullahs to come to power. Putin is making it possible for the mad mullahs to get nukes.

“How much worse off could America be?”

Let’s see...Iran and Saudi Arabia can become nuclear powers. Iraq can fall to al-Qaeda. We can pass “immigration reform.” All those manpads we let loose in our ill-considered and failed state building in Libya can be used to shoot down commercial airliners. Even more US soldiers can die because of criminally bad ROI. We could lose even more patriotic officers to Obama’s purges. That’s the short list. I’m sure there are other Freepers with the by-the-week-in-office lists.

He may be a much older Jimmy, but he's still sounds like the Jimmy I remember.

I used to be able to brag about how bad it was to graduate high school and step into the (un)employment world of Jimmy Carter's America.

But the kids graduating into today's obamanation just laugh at me through their tears.

Carter and the Democrats have powerful contacts in the U.S.S.R. now the Russian Federation.. the Russians wouldn't be nice to Obama.. must be racism. I guess.

Book: Carter, Democrats Asked Soviets to Stop Reagan, Sway U.S. Elections

There's "incontrovertible evidence that the Soviets not only played footsie with the high-ranking Democrats, they also worked behind the scenes to influence American elections. In "Reagan's War," Schweizer shows how the Democrats worked with Moscow to try to undermine Reagan before and after he became president. Jimmy Carter's Dirty Tricks . . . ."

We are still feeling the effects of Jimmah's, and Brezynski's foreign policy failures.

So to raise the political discourse (from a democrat's perspective), sit down and shut the fu@k up peanut man.

I wish that rabbit would have been successful.

What’s with Democrats and their obsession with weakness? On the other hand, what’s with Republicans and weakness since Reagan?

Obama couldn't stop Russia

How could he be expected to stop the nation he was raised to admire?

"Carter couldn’t stop a runny nose."

Or a giant bunny nose.

Even the attack rabbit wasn't scared of Jimmah.

This SHOULD be a lesson for anyone who understands why democrats should NEVER be allowed near the WH.

But this is a much stupider nation now than in 1980.

I never really understood until now why Reagan said that "Liberty (or Freedom) is never more than one generation from becoming extinct".

Totally true.
