I'm proud to say the first Presidential ballot I ever cast was voting this clown out of office. Looking back he played a large part in my choice of party affiliation.

I remember those gas lines earlier than 77...Long lines at my local gas station and only 2 bucks of gas per person...but my pump operator always gave me 5 gal since i was a regular customer...always wondered what people thought we should do about the hostages...Invade Iran?...bomb them?...was one failed rescue attempt...400 plus days, none of the hostages was killed or died while in captivity...Never thought much of the peanut farmer from Ga but only Bush gets my vote for the worst....on many levels but primary was Iraq...

Carter was not a bad president, certainly Bush would rank below him. Carter has been a wonderful former president, doing many good works. I agree that the hostage situation was unsolvable for Carter.

well, if you compare him to bush, he does ok. but i wouldn't say he wasn't a bad president.

Newt was either too stupid to see the mortgage industry collapse in front of him and was speaking with ignorance when defending Fannie Mae as late as mid 2007 or he lied and kept it to himself. Either he's a buffoon or a lying thief. I'm leaning strongly towards the latter. Still he's marginally better than who he’d be matched against.

Having the lowest U.S. Presidential approval rating in modern history, lower than even Jimmy Carter isn’t like a Nobel Peace Prize, it’s earned.

Riot’s right the GOP is going to take this election cycle off or at least that’s what the post card they sent me said.
