When I was a kid, I liked Jimmy Carter. Of course, I was too young to understand what a disaster he was as a president, but I still thought he was a nice guy. I really liked the way he went around building houses for poor people after he was retired by the American people in 1980.
But, frankly, Jimmy Carter has become a meddlesome, annoying, hypocritical old shrew in his old age. Maybe someone should take him aside and tell him it's time for him to shut his trap and head for the peanut farm.
I guess if you really were one of the worst presidents in U.S. history and got your ass handed to you in your re-election bid (the only time the American people get to evaluate your performance) then you would spend a lot of time projecting about the performance of other presidents.
Hell, I can't blame Carter. He messed up domestic policy. He messed up foreign policy. He made America the laughing stock of the world and brought us the misery index in just a scant four years. I'm sure the ridicule he rightly deserves is a lot for the old guy to take. But, as Sister Toldjah points out, this is the guy routinely takes up for and makes excuses for Palestinian terrorists, including the Hamas terrorist organization - while trying to undermine the United States by bringing Cuba to the UN human rights table. Shouldn't he have some shame?
This is the moral bankruptcy Jimmy Carter brings to the table every time he opens his mouth to denigrate the President while siding with the Jew-hating terrorists who comprise Hamas. Via extension, Carter, sadly, is representative of so many other modern day Democrats when it comes to denouncing this administration while downplaying the threats we face overseas, essentially saying that it’s President Bush who is the bigger threat than actual terrorists who want to kill us.
It's time for someone to take tell Carter that the great thing about being an ex-president is that it's time for him to shut up and go play golf.
