lol, Jimmy Carter unloads on Obama (1 Viewer)

[SaintsInDome2006]

Carter is a very mixed bag.

The greatest accomplishment in US mideast foreign policy - Camp David Accords.

Lost Iran.

And people never mention this but Afghanistan went to hell under his watch too (and to some extent Nixon's).

OPEC oil embargo.

More or less he was 1-3 in the biggest ME developments in his time but they are also maybe some of the biggest ME developments of our time as well, they continue to have impact.

As I wrote earlier, it was Anwar Sadat who decided to make peace with Israel. It's not like Carter brought them together. He played host.

So, perhaps a Lies about Carter thread would be necessary to clear up this injustice to No. 39?

Carter continues to be such an embarrassment and seems to have zero self awareness about what an absolute failure he was in office. As a former President, it is also extremely undignified to criticize the current President even if it may be justified.

good point. It's a political no-no. I can't recall the last one whose done it.I'm betting Carter has been snubbed at some point by Obama (or more than one). Carter is known to be petulant.

For anyone who wants to bash Bush, he declined to criticize Obama on his ISIS/ISIL strategy. So he's got that going for him.....which is nice.

Maybe neither would want to admit it but it wouldn't surprise me if Barry and Jr. spoke oh every so often.

Tell us something we do not know Tim.

Obama as one of the best POTUS in regards to foreign policy. This is a classic line.

That's what I think. It hasn't been perfect, but I think overall he's been outstanding. I've explained why several times before.

I'm going to have to side with Leon Panetta over you on this one.

It's certainly an unpopular view. Virtually nobody agrees with me on this. Well, maybe Michelle does...

So either you are right and are smarter than virtually everyone, or you are wrong, and, well, you get the idea.

I think I know which way I would lean.

Exactly what I was going to post. Carter gets too much credit for the CDA when in fact both sides had already agreed but they even met about what they wanted to accomplish.

"Well, Barry, you got quite a predicament over there in Syria...reminds me of an old saying..."

You don't need Carter to tell you what he thinks. The snafus speak for themselves:

There are still dummies that think this guy has done a good job.

 

[HellToupee]

Right or wrong this is the same crap Carter pulled with Bush. Very undignified for a former POTUS

 

[NCCommish]

As for drones, Carter told the Fort Worth newspaper: "I really object to the killing of people, particularly Americans overseas who haven't been brought to justice and put on trial. We've killed four Americans overseas with American drones. To me that violates our Constitution and human rights.

Amen Jimmy Carter
