How pathetic.

Jimmah Carter is now eighty-seven years old and still thirsts for revenge against the American electorate that kicked him out of the WH more than three decades ago. He regards Obama as his unfinished presidency & really thinks his loser of a grandson has now given the Romney campaign its death blow. He sends his proud congratulations!

To grow to an old age and still be consumed with such hatred! I thought that at one point a Christian (as Jimmah boasts he is) reconciles with the world and with his Maker, and lays aside the soon to be petty & forgotten spites of a life far shorter than the eternity that will surely follow.

Again, what a pathetic old man Jimmah is in his declining years. And what fun to watch.

I got one question ...

I saw a news report that said it cost $50K to get into the meeting where Romney spoke ...

If Carter’s Grandson is unemployed, who gave him the $50K to attend ???

It's likely the video was not shot by one of the guests. Here is the full video:

.......................”Agents told Kessler that Jimmy Carter treated them and others who served him with utter disdain.

“Inside the White House, Carter treated with contempt the little people who helped and protected him,” and told agents not to look at him or speak to him — even to say hello — when he went to the Oval Office, Kessler disclosed.

“For three and a half years, agent John Piasecky was on Carter’s detail — including seven months of driving him in the presidential limousine — and Carter never spoke to him, he says.

“At the same time, Carter tried to project an image of himself as man of the people by carrying his own luggage when traveling. But that was often for show. When he was a candidate in 1976, Carter would carry his own bags when the press was around but ask the Secret Service to carry them the rest of the time.”

On one occasion, disgruntled agents deliberately left Carter’s luggage in the trunk of his car at an airport, and Carter “was without clothes for two days.”

At his home in Plains, Ga., Carter once tried to attack and kill a small dog with a bow saw. Agents had befriended the stray dog, a terrier, and given it the code name Dolphin.

When the dog ate some food Carter’s wife, Rosalynn, had put out for their Siamese cat, Carter “got the bow saw off a woodpile near the family room patio” and “tried to kill the dog,” one agent who was there told Kessler.

Dolphin dodged the attack, but Carter insisted that agents remove the dog from Plains. The orphan dog was given to the press corps.

As president, Carter needed to have the “nuclear football” at hand to enable him to take action in case of a nuclear attack.

But the president — code-named Deacon — refused to allow a military aide with the nuclear football to stay in a trailer on his property in Plains. The aide had to stay in Americus, a 15-minute drive from Carter’s home, a top military official confirmed to Kessler.

“Because of the agreed-upon protocols, in the event of a nuclear attack, Carter could not have launched a counterattack by calling the aide in Americus,” Kessler writes. “By the time the military aide drove to Carter’s home, the United States would have been within five minutes of being wiped out by nuclear-tipped missiles.”

Carter was “moody and mistrustful” and sought to micromanage everything, agents told Kessler. He insisted that aides ask him for permission to use the White House tennis courts — even when he was traveling on Air Force One.

Early in his presidency, Carter proclaimed that the White House would be “dry,” and only wine, but no liquor, would be served at state dinners.

The word was passed to get rid of all the booze on Air Force One, at Camp David, and in the White House. But on the first Sunday the Carters were in the White House, they ordered up Bloody Marys before going to church.

Kessler discloses that Carter “would regularly make a show of going to the Oval Office at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. to call attention to how hard he was working for the American people.”

In fact, “he would work for half an hour, then close the curtains and take a nap,” Robert B. Sulliman Jr., who was on Carter’s detail, told Kessler.

“His staff would tell the press he was working.”

As the Carter administration drew to a close, Carter and his staff became more paranoid. They believed that people were stealing things and eavesdropping on his conversations in the Oval Office.

Before going on a fishing trip in Georgia one morning, Carter accused a Secret Service agent of stealing fried chicken stewards had prepared. In fact, White House aides Jody Powell and Hamilton Jordan had eaten the chicken.”............. [more]

That was back when the people thought he would redistribute money he took from others, not them (also before they understood what hopey-changy really meant).

>>Now Carter is the second worse President with Bozo (Sorry but I have no respect for this President) being #1 now.

My tagline in ‘08 and ‘09:

(Obama: Carter’s only chance to avoid going down in history as the worst U.S. president ever.)

I hate being right.
