So, Carter, maybe to build up some business for his new set of audiobooks, decides to publicly slam President Bush and his administration as "the worst in history".
Quoting:
"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history," Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette...
Heh?
Then he goes on to question the faith-based initiative.....I honestly know little about it, and if Mr. Carter has studied their budgets, grants, and allocations, and can give some facts to back up the following claim, I'll take him seriously. Until such time, I scratch my head at the following.....
"The policy from the White House has been to allocate funds to religious institutions, even those that channel those funds exclusively to their own particular group of believers in a particular religion," Carter said. "As a traditional Baptist, I've always believed in separation of church and state and honored that premise when I was president, and so have all other presidents, I might say, except this one."
What's being a "traditional Baptist" got to do with it??
Anyhoo......here's the article for your viewing pleasure and neck exercises.
Compare his summation to:
--21 percent interest rates
--13 percent annual inflation
--odd/even day gas rations and gas shortages (did you know that the actual highest price for a gallon of gasoline in U.S. history, adjusted for inflation for today's dollars, happened in 1981. That would be thanks to the recently-dissolved Carter Administration.)
--Americans being paraded in our own embassy half a world away while we sat and did nothing.
Oh, and for those of you who think the Israeli/Egyptian peace accord of 1978 was the beginning of peace in the Middle East.....
----Anwar Sadat dies three years later. Hosni Mubarak, his successor, is still in power and has no sterling history of democracy, freedom, ah...well, you read the history of his implementation of "emergency law" in Egypt right after the Sadat assassination....
----No dominoes ever fell to create a better chance of peace.
Carter vs. Bush 43?
George W. ain't the best President we've ever had, but there's NO DOUBT he's NOT the worst President.....the worst was in office during my childhood.
And so my post comes full circle, but now posted as a question of disbelief....
Jimmy Carter----Presidential CRITIC??!!?!??!!!
It's easier to deal with if you remember that opinions are like belly buttons -- everyone has and is entitled to one. lol I wish I could remember which president said that a man should be shot the day after he leaves the Presidency -- but it would sorta squelch his criticism.
