Jimmy Peanut Carter the worst president of the last century at 61% approval rating
This is just too good!
That's to indicate how much we'd rather he do ANYthing other than run the country - into the ground.
(The miserable, incompetent, boob.)
If they asked respondants "who was the worst president in the last 50 years" Carter may not show up because he was so bad, people have blocked it from their memories.
That's an unfair statement.
I don't think you could find 39% of left-wing extremists or Iranian radicals who wouldn't love Jimmy Carter! ;-)
Don't forget kkklinton was also one of the WORST in our history.....seems like the RAT Presidents are slime huh????
1,002 adults nationwide
if you answer yes to "are you older than 18", you get to voice your opinions.
"Such polls are meaningless, because most people could not tell you a single thing that Carter ever did."
He made lots of mistakes, but kicking off the age of Islamofascist terrorism is his crowning accomplishment.
Right on! We were in the process of financing a building, and interest rates soared beyond reach. Got up to 21% +. Inflation was about 14%.
But that's not what I primarily dislike about Carter.
His letting the Iranians almost totally cripple the United States by holding our embassy people hostage was despicable. His failure to act in any positive, intelligent way was cowardly. His dispatching six helicopters that were unfit for desert duty to rescue the hostages was worse than dumb. And the derision around the world and even here in the United States that stemmed from that failed mission was the genesis of some of the problems we've faced in the last 26 years.
Of course, I think that Sweet Old Bill (Clintoon) added fuel to the Mideast fires by failing to do anything except dispatch a few rockets at some tents in Iraq and an aspirin factory in Sudan after the Cole bombing, the embassy bombings, and other such actions by bin Laden. Then Sweet William refused to take bin Laden when offered. Oh yeah, he's right there on a low plane with Cahtah.
By the way, to me, the most humiliating thing Carter did during his miserable four years was to step up on his tippy-toes at the Moscow airport and kiss Leonid Brezhnev on the cheek following a summit meeting. Jimmy was so happy with whatever Leonid had swindled him out of that he had to kiss the man.
And so I was immensely glad when Reagan was inaugurated. Felt like Americans could hold our heads up again.
Second worst. Warren G. Harding has to be the worst of the 20th century.
He gave away our canal!
Tells you one of two things:
1) Polls are useless
2) Most Americans are clueless
Hope it is #1.
"because most people could not tell you a single thing that Carter ever did."
1. Gave away the panama canal to the chinese
2. Abondoned americans to terrorists in iran
3. Broke promises the the Shah of Iran to provide support thereby resulting in the violent overthrow of the Shah and subsequent kidnapping of Americans.
4. Responsible for the worst economy in recent memory
More recently
1. Praised Americas enemies
2. Used his status as an Ex President of the USA to undercut a currently sitting President and adversely impact official government policy
3. Praised elections in terrorist states and those of dictators while condeming elections in the USA as unfair
Thats all I can think of right now, besides thinking of this peanut brain is making me ill.
Hi tied Clinton... that says something.
Most people that answered the Poll about Carter could not have been alive when he was president.
Good point. That was his boldest stand against the Soviets (which they repayed in 1984)... more likely an election year ploy than standing on principle.
Short memories, I'd say...
Yeah......and who's wording the 'surveys', as well.
