Former President Jimmy Carter Blames 'Irresponsible News Media' for Obama’s Low Approval Ratings

If you’re a left-of-center media personality and you use your national TV platform to call a candidate for the United States Senate a “bitch,” how might you be rewarded? Apparently in this day and age, you’re granted an interview with a former sitting president of your political party.

Even though he wasn’t one of the most distinguished presidents of the United States, former President Jimmy Carter appeared on Joy Behar’s HLN program to promote his book, “White House Diary.” During his interview, Behar asked Carter to offer his assessment of Barack Obama’s performance as president.

Pretty funny. The MSM has been rather nice to Obama compared to any Republican in the same situation because they really believe in high taxes and big government.

Someone here predicted back in mid 2008 that Obama would win and that the MSM would HAVE TO turn on Obama within the first two years, let me find who it was:)

Always good for a snicker. He should have joined the other 2 comedians on TV the other night, you know, the most worthless person on tv and the second most useless administrator this nation has ever seen, unless you are a communist working at destroying the nation, that is.

Yes, the media just hasn't done enough to cover up for Obama. It's not like there is high unemployment, and a stagnant economy, and a looming debt crisis, and our enemies still hate us, health care costs are rising faster than ever, and everything he said he would fix has gotten worse. Nope. No problems at all, right Jimmah.

> "Is he also terminally stupid?"

Yes. But he’s smart enough to know he’s no longer the worst president ever.

Still, Jimmy Carter won't give up without a fight. He's struggling to regain that title without realizing that for the first time in his career he's hopelessly outclassed in that direction.

Early on after his Presidency people upon seeing Jimmy building houses with his own hands for the poor and doing other humanitarian things suggested Jimmy might have been America’s “Best Ex-President”. In recent years he has even been able to screw that up.

Jimmy Carter couldn’t lead himself out of a blind alley. His presidency was a giant failure. He has no shame.

And he’s as UNBiblical in his beliefs as any SO CALLED So Bap I’ve ever heard of.

I said the same thing the other day...

If you claim to be a Christian, yet you hate Jews; then you hate Jesus Christ, because He is a JEW...therefore, you are no Christian by the Biblical meaning of that word, which is Follower of Christ.

It really is time for this guy to, er, get personal with God if you catch my drift.

That should be:

“Former President Jimmy Carter Blames ‘Irresponsible News Media’ for Obama’s xxx Approval Ratings”
Someone should remind that old ash hole that Obama’s ratings would be MUCH lower if the lying bastards in the media ever told the truth about him.

The press built him up and they will take him down. I am starting to have a feeling he will be gone by Christmas. Maybe resign for some medical reason or “putting his family first” or some other BS. IO think he will resign before he can get thrown out and it may be coming.

Jimmy’s time in office woke up a generation of voters who in a very short time changed from voting donk to Republican. They were not liberal’s to begin with just voting the way their parents had, but Jimmy woke them up,
zer0 is having the same effect!

You might be right about him being out soon. I think his handlers are very dissapointed in him and that doesn’t bode well for him. 0bama’s narcissism will present a problem...he probably won’t go easily.
