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.
In Southern talk that's one notch above
"Bless his heart"
This is nothing more than Carter trying to resurrect his relevance and credibility. FAIL!
Heck, I've been calling him one ever since he decided to run on the same ticket with Lester Maddox.
Have undocumented workers helped or hurt the Texas economy? Also what was the impact of Katrina refugees? Anyone know or have links?
Notice how many years it took for Obama to fall below the baseline of Jimmah Caautah, in Jimmah’s HO, of course.
Well put!
Ya know old Jimmie is tired of being known as the best “ loser” President.
Can’t blame him for wanting Obama to take his spot as best loser.
2nd Place Best Loser is better than 1st Place Best Loser.
Same with me! I never was interested in politics until I saw what a mess Jimmy Carter made of things. My first vote was for Reagan. I’ve never voted for a Democrat and I owe it all to Jimmy!
I wonder if carter still lusts in his heart.
“How long before the Obamabots start calling Jimmuh a racist?”
Well... Jimmy was the first “First Black President”;
Clinton was the second “First Black President”;
And President Obama is the third “First Black President”, though he can likely lay claim to the skin with the most melanin content of presidents thus far.
Jimmy, Billy’s brother, has so much experience at being an incompetent loser that his opinions must not be ignored. It really takes one to know one.
The article does not reflect that carter called zero an incompetent loser. It says that carter said zero did the best he could “under the circumstances” (bush’s fault), and even goes on to say how proud carter was that his grandson exposed romney’s 47% remark, which carter calls the turning point in the election.
Read the article at Parade. carter does NOT put down zero.
THE BEATLES
“I’m A Loser”
I’m a loser
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end
I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry
I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it’s true, pride comes before a fall
I’m telling you so that you won’t lose all
I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be
Man, how much do you have to suck for Carter to call you a failure?
In all seriousness, the democrats are simply trying to paint the picture that it’s Obama and not leftist policies that have failed.
That’s....’creepy’.
carter DID NOT call zero a failure. Read the Parade article.
Yeah, but it is probably because Obama has managed to far enough Left, fast enough, no has he managed to entirely destroy American defenses.
i wonder...
