t’s 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.
“He’s 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 Carter’s “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.
Just another case of the pot calling the kettle… shadowy…
Counter-intuitively, he persuaded my conservative Christian parents to break principle and vote Democrat. They were hoodwinked by his faux-Christian veneer. But, back then, it was possible for a Democrat to actually be moral on many issues, so he fooled a lot of good people.
Ok. Thanks. ( a compliment from Carter is usually one of the worst insults or put- Downs possible)
RLMAO
That picture is worth 10000 words... now lets make it go viral.
Wow,, that takes me back a lot of years.

Amazing how he doesn’t leave a trace..
Only a trail of deceit and lies
Jeeeezz.
Thats like Charlie Sheen calling you a cokehead.
Thats like Jim Morrison calling you and alcoholic.
Thats like Gary Busy calling you fried.
Well, it takes one to know one, that’s for sure.
I did. A reader is allowed to paraphrase, indicated by the lack of quotes in my reply. As I read Carter’s comments, my interpretation is that he assessed Obama as a failure. You’re entitled to your own interpretation.
There was a kind of frantic societal backlash against the disgusting moral anarchy of the late-60’s and into the 70’s that caused a lot of people to clutch at anything resembling Christianity. Impersonators didn’t have to try too hard.
Some kinda voice activated channel clicker or something. He takes it in good humor though, because he is basically saying, “if it can understand me, it can understand anyone”.
He is actually using his fried brain as a typecast now... making money off of it. More power to him.
Bwahahaha!
That’s gotta hurt. It’s like a pig calling somebody else ugly!
