Ever read the Book, "The Real Jimmy Carter"? It tears the cover off this hypocrite. Here is my book review on Amazon.com...obviously FIVE STARS....

The Truth is Here, June 13, 2004

This book Is riveting to me because I lived through all the events. This book is not a positional polemic. Hayward runs a logical thread through Carter's career and replays it with clarity. What emerges is a "plan" that is either the product of total ineptitude or gross malfeasance. Hayward points out from scores of quotes from such right wing sources as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, "The New Republic," and Tip O'Neill that Carter's "policies" as president were nothing more than series of "choose and lose" blunders, a potpourri of esoteric mushy/moralistic wishes and noble intentions that were light years from what Jack Welch calls "The Reality Principle."

Carter SAYS he is a Christian but an examination of the proof points for that assertion shows this may be a simple storefront to mask his meglomania. His favorite word is the personal pronoun " I " and he is the hero of every story he tells. This book shows how Carter is addicted to flattery - even from the coarsest dictators, that he is a mean-spirited and detached loner who puts up with others only if they genuflect to his syrupy guile. If Carter is a Christian, then Yasser Arafat is Francis of Assisi. At least, this is how Carter sees this murderous thug who masquerades as a "head of state." His other close buddies? Mostly Stalinists like Kim Jong Il's predecessor, Mohammed Fara Aidid, and others of the same ilk. Truly amazing.

After seeing the wonderful tribute to Reagan at his passing, the contrast to Carter is larger than ever. Carter preyed on the minds of the American people to give him another chance after he took the American people to task for their materialism in 1979 rather than taking responsibility for the disasterous conditions HIS amateurish policies brought about. Thankfully, the American people didn't buy it and the current generation was providentially delivered from disaster in the election of 1980. This book is a recap of what REALLY happened. It is long overdue to isolate and advertise Carter's record and along with Soviet Communism consign it to the ash heap of history.

He is also spoken of in the book on President Bush, A Matter of Character and those personal qualities are noted in that work.

He was and still is an egomanic.
