Really? The guy must actually be Satan if he's that bad at everything. What an evil dude! Why would you have let him live?
BTW, the guy is 86, has a crippled finger, and you expect him to hammer nails like Mike Holmes? roflmao

I worked alongside Jimmy Carter in 1994, as I said in an earlier post. He was then the age I am now. I can say with full confidence that his hammer-swinging was never what it was cracked up to be.

Maybe not. But I imagine he's been involved in more house builds for charity than most of us on this forum, perhaps even combined.
In the end, I'd rather be a good man than a great politician.
How good are you at ironing clothes or teaching young kids the game of soccer?
So Carter couldn't pound a nail as well as others. Did you do as much fundraising for H4H as Carter did? Were you the best at everything you ever did? :roll:

Funny that you should mention kids' soccer. I coached both my son and daughter on the city rep level, to winning international tournaments.
For twelve years after my arrival to Canada I was single, so I learned to iron my shirts. And pants.
I never demanded the vainglorious attention for my charity work, because that kind of attitude is the sole province of failed poloticians.

Congrats. Anything else you are better than anyone else at?

Nobody said he was not a nice person, just a lousy President. Loved the war he handled Iran. :roll:
NYT/CBS Poll: 52% Say Obama Moving America Towards Socialism
Friday, April 16, 2010

(CNSNews.com) – A New York Times/CBS News poll found that a majority of Americans, 52 percent, think the policies of President Barack Obama are moving the United States toward socialism
Published April 14, the poll surveyed the political, racial, and social opinions of both the general pubic and self-described members of the tea party movement. It found that while tea party participants are generally more conservative than the broader population, they are also better educated and slightly more successful.
The poll found that almost the entirety of the tea party movement – 92 percent – shared the views of most Americans that Obama was turning the United States into a socialist country.
The poll asked respondents specifically whether the president’s policies “are moving the country more toward socialism.” Fifty-two percent answered “toward socialism” while only 38 percent answered “not toward socialism.”
A mere six percent of self-described tea party Americans answered “not toward socialism.”
The poll also found that while tea party members generally shared the economic concerns of the broader population, this did not motivate their strong opposition to Obama. That opposition was based on the president’s policies, not on the poor economy or on other factors, such as the president’s race.
In fact, the racial attitudes of tea party members fell in line with those of the rest of the country, with 73 percent of tea party members saying that blacks and whites had an equal chance of success – a view held by 60 percent of Americans.
Tea party activists are strongly motivated by traditional conservative issues, such as the size of government and federal spending, according to the poll. Ninety-two percent of tea party members said they would prefer a smaller, less intrusive federal government to a larger one – a view they shared with 52 percent of Americans.
Eighty-nine percent of tea partiers thought that Obama has expanded government too much in trying to deal with the recession, an opinion which fell in line with the views of 50 percent of the country.
Tea party activists also agreed with the rest of the country – though in higher proportions – on the issue of federal bank bailouts. Seventy-four percent of tea partiers said the economy would have improved without the bailouts -- a view shared by 51 percent of Americans generally.
When it came to questions of who are tea party members, the poll found that 50 percent described themselves as “middle class” and 26 percent described themselves as “working class.” Only 29 percent of tea partiers do not have at least some college education, a figure that far outpaces the rest of the country, of which 47 percent have no college education.
Perhaps the most important statistic in this election year found that tea party activists were more likely than other Americans to favor the current two-party electoral system 52-48 percent.
The finding that should most worry incumbents who do not share tea party members’ views was that 97 percent of the activists are registered voters.
According to The New York Times, "(t)he nationwide telephone poll was conducted April 5-12 with 1,580 adults. For the purposes of analysis, Tea Party supporters were oversampled, for a total of 881, and then weighted back to their proper proportion in the poll. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points for both all adults and Tea Party supporters, and it is higher for subgroups."

I thought Carter was the worst. Or was it Clinton? Just as I thought Bush was the best.
Quite so, Carter was a good man, but not a good politician. In fact, I remember a few years after he lost the election in 1980; he said in an interview that he knew perfectly well what he had to do to win the 1980 election. He said that if he had bombed, Tehran, Qom (a holy city for Muslims and Iranians), a few other Iranian cities, killed a few thousand Iranians in retaliation for the embassy hostages, he would have won by a landslide. His popularity would have soared to 90%, same as Bush’s did during the Kuwait war and Iraq invasion.
And no doubt that is what a Republican president, Reagan or Bush would have done. He would have resorted to carpet bombing of Iran and as a result, would have been reelected by a landslide. Of course that would have led to rise of terrorism on a scale we have never seen before, compared to which 9/11 would have looked like child’s play. But that would be in the future, in 1980 the Republican, whether Reagan or Bush would have been reelected by a landslide.
It is to Carter’s credit, that he did not resort to such tactics, even though he knew that it would have guaranteed him the reelection.
I se, but you have no problem claiming attention for your charitable work here on internet, where anybody could lie about anything, there is no way of verifying any statement anybody makes here about themselves.
Why was Ford worse, what did he do? He was in office for just two years, what could he possibly have done to be called the worst president? He did issue a full pardon to Nixon (some say that was Nixon's price for appointing Ford the VP in the first place). But on the flip side, Ford did appoint John Paul Stevens to Supreme Court, one of the most reliable liberal members of the Court.
I would say Bush was the worst in recent memory.
