It just occurred to me exactly what Jimmy is doing here!

You see, since Obama has easily surpassed peanut brain for worst President ever, Jimmy just realized that he will become even more irrelevant than the 30-day Presidency of William Harrison!

So, he needs to do something, apparently something stupid, but SOMETHING to remain off rock bottom of former US Presidents!

When will this guy learn to shut up.

He's a pathfinder. After him, Democratic ex-presidents (assuming Obama does leave office on time) will run their mouths for 20 to 30 years after their term ends. Do you think that a Hillary, or a Lizzy Warren, or (had they been elected) Kerry or Al Gore would support their GOP successor, or at least keep a mostly respectful silence?

It's part of the spiral down in public conduct that we've been seeing since Carter.

As long as Obama remains in office and Bill Clinton doesn’t slash some whore’s face, Jimmy still holds unquestioned domain over the title of “Worst Ex-President”.

Jimmy Carter would be a perfect fit at the American Consulate in Mosul.

If all the Jews were kicked out of Israel, the Hamas thugs would still be the same murdering scum they’ve always been. They would continue to oppress their people while making war on western civilization.

Carter is such a quick study. Even the Gaza residents are ready to tear Hamas officials limb from limb, and here Carter tries to float the idea Hamas has finally arrived, and needs to be recognized as legitimate leaders.

I’m not sure where this guy buys his six-packs of stupid, but he’s obviously been drinking quite a bit of it.

He [Carter] recognized Arafat as a legitimate political leader. How has that worked thus far?

There must also be an opportunity for the teachers, police, and welfare and health workers on the Hamas payroll to be paid

So, Hamasians, go ahead and pay them. Use the surplus from your inventiveness, creativity, effort, and productivity to create money, and pay them.

Oh, wait...

Carter used to be a non-threatening incompetent boob of a president.

Now he’s showing how the path of leftism always leads to a very dark and evil place.

“When will this guy learn to shut up.”

When he’s lying horizontal in a box in the Capitol Rotunda.

Two little letters is all jimmy’s comment deserves. That would be LOL! I know it’s three letters but in my world it is really only two different.

Went through what it took to be an engineering officer on the first Nuc sub so you would think he isn’t stupid, so how come he’s such a dunce?

Part of bio from Naval History and Heritage command http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq60-14.htm

When Admiral Hyman G. Rickover (then a captain) started his program to create nuclear powered submarines, Carter wanted to join the program and was interviewed by Rickover. On 1 June 1952, Carter was promoted to Lieutenant. Selected by Rickover, Carter was detached on 16 October 1952 from K-1 for duty with the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Division of Reactor Development in Schenectady, New York. From 3 November 1952 to 1 March 1953, he served on temporary duty with the Naval Reactors Branch, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, DC to assist “in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels.”

From 1 March to 8 October, Carter was preparing to become the engineering officer for the nuclear power plant to be placed in USS Seawolf (SSN 575), one of the first submarines to operate on atomic power. He assisted in setting up training for the enlisted men who would serve on Seawolf. During this time his father became very sick and died in July 1953. After his father’s death in 1953, Carter resigned from the Navy to return to Georgia to manage the family interests. Carter was honorably discharged on 9 October 1953 at Headquarters, Third Naval District in New York City. On 7 December 1961, he transferred to the retired reserve with the rank of Lieutenant at his own request.

When will Carter learn to recognize a group of people who would blow him up after building a tunnel into his basement?
