Can't Something be Done About Jimmy Carter?

The worst President of my lifetime is a gift that just keeps giving, to our enemies. As President, Carter allowed our one ally in the Middleeast to be deposed by radical islamofascists. During his presidency we had double digit inflation and unemployment Anyone remember the "misery index"? Since being thrown out of office by the Reagan revolution Carter has attempted to improve his image with Habitat for Humainty. I would sum up thie "feel good" organization using words from a recent Hillary speach, never has so much been done to help so few who need it so little. I'll explain the ineffectiveness of Habitat at another time. Even the most liberal among us sidesteps the Carter presidency by awarding his the title of "Greatest Past President".

After his stunning defeat in 1980 Carter had to keep his head down for a while. Emboldened by Clinton's 1992 victory he reappeared. Sadly, and to the detriment of the entire world Carter decided to insert himself into the negotiations with North Korea. Thanks in part to his involvement we now have a nuclear North Korea. Over the years Carter has embraced many a ruthless dictator. Castro is one of his particular favorites and Hugo Chavez benefited greatly from Carter's endorsement of his sham of an election.

I have always believed that it is little incidents in ones life that reveal character and here is my most recent little story about Carter. When the Pope John Paul II died Carter's people contacted the White House. Carter was volunteering to lead a delegation to attend the funeral. When Carter learned that the President would be attending personally he was no longer interested in going. If Carter could not lead the delegation there was no reason for him to attend simply to pay homage to a great man. Carter is a small self serving individual who never met a socialist dictator he didn't like and who should never have been President of the United States of America.

Now he is singing the praises of Hamas, on Friday, Carter said that although Hamas were "so-called terrorists," so far "there have been no complaints of corruption against [their] elected officials." Excuse me Mr. Carter, how could there be complaints about corruption in an organization that has yet had any offical power? Hpwever if Carther has his way members of Hamas will be elected soon. Carter apparently thinks being a terrorist is just another political party. No surprise since his Camp David accords gave the "father of modern terrorism" Yassir Arafat the status of a elected world leader. Carter also said sometimes you have to learn to work with terrorists and glossed over the declaration from some in Hamas that Israel has no right to exist.

No wonder that rabbit attacked him!
