“Former President Jimmy Carter says the political unrest and rioting in Egypt is an earth-shaking event and that President Hosni Mubarak probably will have to leave office.”

Maybe Jimma will go over there and quiet things down by giving a speech or appearing on television. /s

He has so much to be thankful for, but he just can’t sit quietly and shut up

Well, Jimmuh was instrumental in allowing Iran to fall under radical Islam.

Why not Egypt to?

Once Egypt falls back, how long before Jordan, Saudi Arabia and eventually, every gain our Troops fought and died for in Iraq disappear as well?

If this is anything like what Jimmy experienced, Barry will have to leave office too.

Jimmah Carter must be so happy. First he give away Iran and now his protege gives away Egypt.

Let’s see how the next several days go.

With Obama in office, it’s like a rewind to the Carter years - he loses Iran to anti-American fanatics, and the same thing will happen to Egypt under his idealogical twin brother, Obummer.

*sniff* Jimmah must be so proud.

It is that kind of deep political thought and analysis that has made Jimmy Carter one of America’s worst Presidents.

The man lacks the common sense to know when he should just sit tight and shut his yap.

Some reporter came calling, and he just couldn't resist, being the respected elder statesman and self-acknowledged expert on the middle east that he is.

I think Jimmy is reminiscing. He’s got the Ayatollah’s picture out, popped the blue pill, and opened a jar of peanut oil.

Jimmy Carter commenting on Egypt is like OJ speaking out against Domestic violence..Jimmy should just shut his trap..maybe Chrissy Matthews while he is not busy trying to figure out where the heck the Panama Canal is can give him a call and tell him to shut his trap

I am really surprised that Jimmah has not raced over to Cairo to help in the matter of peace to his beloved Egyptians. He comes out with a stupid statement that sounds more like his wife or daughter wrote it for him.

Carter is very much to blame for continued problems in the middle east. Obama will prove to be as inept. If only Hillary would shut her pie hole about “Must transition to Democracy etc”, the USA would not look so stupid. Democracy has no chance in the Arab/Islamic world.

Just like old times, eh Jimmy? When we're all sitting in gas lines again, like I did during your miserable presidency, we'll surely be thinking of you and your best Bud in the WH.

Here’s a thought for any leader, ask old Jimmy what he would do about an issue and then do the opposite.

Jimmy’s been waiting more than 30 years for someone to come along and orchestrate a foreign policy screw-up worse than his Iran fiasco - short of the Muslim Brotherhood, he’s got to be the happiest person on the planet as a result of this mess.

He’s just so happy that he’s no longer going to be the worst president every, only the worst president of the 20th Century.

Carter told a Sunday school class that he teaches that the unrest is "the most profound situation in the Middle East" since he left office in 1981.

Iraq isn't on Dhimmi's map of the Middle East, I guess.

I kinda wondered if it would be possible to tell when Dhimmi developed dementia. Amazingly enough, it is.

Just like 1979, isn't it Mr. James Earl Carter, of Plains, GA?. You engineered the fall of the Shah of Iran and replaced him with a bunch of 7th century theocratic murderers.

Now, your protegee, Barack Hussein Obama (oh, oh, oh) of Chicago, IL via Nairobi, Kenya, just can't wait to take down Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, and a bunch of other Arab countries. He wants you make them part of a new Islamic caliphate like he was told to do in his madrassa days in Indonesia.

Barry will surpass his Mentor, the worst president America ever had. The Donkeys, RINOs, and MSM will clap and cheer and take up the “Death to America, death to Israel” mantra. Good job, Obamabots.

You know, I thought I had forgotten this old murdering buzzard. I knew some Iranians the U.S. forcefully repatriated to Iran after the Shah fell. They were convinced they would be killed when they got back by the IRGC. I had no reason at the time to doubt they were right, and I have never heard what happened to them.

It really causes my blood to boil when we as a nation elect such embarrassments as this. A man whose actions are directly responsible for the murder of innocent people.

Some folks don’t believe that true EVIL exists in this world; that nothing should be seen in terms of black and white. Well, the direct or indirect murder of people one doesn’t know because your politics can justify it IS the blackest of black. Yes, it IS evil.
