ts been a disastrous couple of weeks for President Barack Obama. His signature legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, is a slow-motion train wreck. His poll numbers have tanked.
Now, things have gotten so bad for Obama that former president Jimmy Carter has called President Obama incompetent in the family-friendly pages of Parade magazine.
Hes done the best he could under the circumstances, Carter said of Obama in an interviewed published on Thursday. His major accomplishment was Obamacare, and the implementation of it now is questionable at best. (RELATED: Jimmy Carter: America no longer has a functioning democracy)
Carter presided over what was, until the current recession, the longest period of economic stagnation since the Great Depression. There was runaway inflation, high unemployment and an ongoing energy crisis. There was a hostage crisis in Iran involving the capture and imprisonment of 52 Americans for 444 days.
In the summer of 1979, Carter gave one of the least effective speeches any president in the history of the American presidency. The deeply unpopular Crisis of Confidence speech became widely known as Carters malaise speech.
Carter lost his 1980 reelection bid to Ronald Reagan by an electoral vote total of 489 to 49. He won only six states, along with the District of Columbia.
Besides for the redneck Jimmuh, it’s an RC Cola.
Its gotten bad when Jimmy Cater calls you out for incompetence! Next the French will give Obama the Jerry Lewis award.
Blind hog finds an acorn.
Broken clock is right twice a day.
Worst president is smiling since 0 bummer was elected.
The French are unhappier about “gay marriage” than we are. Mirabile dictu. Cheese has lots of calcium and maybe that’s good for their backbones after all.
“He is actually using his fried brain as a typecast now... making money off of it. More power to him.”
He’s fried like a fox.
SECOND worst now. SECOND worst. And bidding well to be a distant second.
Go get ‘im Jimmuh!
I can relate. I don't know was more responsible for my move to the GOP (from whence I've since departed) Carter or Reagan. Probably 50/50.
The illegals have hurt the economy IMHO. You can't get a job some places unless you speak Spanish. All the Katrina refugees are just sucking dollars out of the treasury and looks like we are stuck with them.
A coke made in Mehico? They taste better. : ) Everyone in the world should by there own soft drinks of choice. UNfazed.
It takes one to know one!
“Thats like Gary Busy calling you fried.”
Hey now, come on... Gary has never been the same since the motorcycle accident... sans helmet. The drugs were for pain relief...
WW, FDR, LBJ, Jimmuh, Hillary, Romney, Barry all variations on a theme SOCIALISM/TOTALITARIANISM (force).
At a tea at his house the year before, Perkins had sat beside Justice Harlan Stone, and he gave her a tip. She had confided her fears that any great social insurance system would be rejected by the court. Not so, he said, and whispered back the solution: The taxing power of the federal government is sufficient for everything you want and need. If the Social Security Act was formulated as a tax, and not a government insurance, it could get through. - p.229; The Chicken Versus the Eagle; The Forgotten Man - Amity Shlaes
The portrait of Boring and Gay.
Indeed!!
You can sense the unspoken "bless his heart" there, if you know the speech pattern.
HE did! Dickey Betts!
He didnt have any peers. And he just relegated ZerØ to the bottom of the peerless heap. Which is, of course, his rightful place.
When Jimmy Carter says you’re a loser, to a fellow dem, you know you’ve hit rock bottom.
Valerie will just feed the Resident another joint and have him watch b-ball with his good buddy Reggie while she writes up another script for his tele-prompter.
