1 Carter received a standing ovation at Brandeis. 87% of the Jewish vote went to the Democrats in our last Federal election.
Also the 15 who resigned were not staffers as you said. They were members of the Advisory Board. They do not work for the Center. At the time of their resignations there were over 200 Advisory Board members, so about 6% resigned.

2 So then, John Ryan, that means you agree with Jimmuh that the Jooos have to die?

3 Carter wasn't a good president, but the worst president ever is clearly George Bush.  It's not even close.  He is a train wreck.

4 Politcal Critic: Tell me how old were you from 76 to 80?
Why? Because either A: you are too young to know WTF you are talking about (in which case I can forgive you): or B: you are an idiot (no hope, you can't cure stupid).

5 Once again, THIS Peanut would have been a better president than the other peanut !!

6 Even though both said they didn't mean any harm, Carter's apology is much better than Kerry's, because Carter actually acknowledged making a mistake.  Kerry used passive voice and apologized that people misunderstood him.  Carter used active voice and apologized for phrasing something in a stupid way. So Carter took responsibility, and Kerry didn't.

On "Worst president ever," Buchanan and Harding our generally accepted as the worst. I'd agree from an immediate damage standpoint, they are pretty bad.  Both caused immediate harm to the country and no lasting benefits.  Looking at long long term ideological damage to the country, however, I'd pick Woodrow Wilson as the worst president ever.  Anyone who claims Bush is the worst ever has not taken a proper US history course -- probably a high school freshman.

7 Buchanan and Harding didn't continue trying to damage the country decades after they were out of office as Carter is doing. And neither one empowered an enemy like Iran, as Carter did through his abject incompetence before, during, and after the hostage crisis.

8 John does have a point here; the Jews are proving incredibly stupid of
late, and I'm beginning to question their sanity as a group since they
seem to suffer from the same madness as has infected lefturds in
general.

9 Actually 40%-50% of Israeli Jews qualify as "self-hating" by
neocon "right" American political standards, because of their
positions on the settlemets, etc.
 
Carter should NOT have apologized however-the Pals have a right
to resist UNTIL Carter's reccomendations are in the process of
implementation.

10 Carter, when asked what the biggest regret of his presidency was answered that sending 8 helicopters instead of 10 to rescue the hostages in Tehran.   That's his biggest mistake.  The rescue operation, he said, would have worked if they had 2 more helicopters.  LOL.  Worse president in our history doesn't even begin to describe him.  And you can add worst EX-president as well.

11 Ken Poop:


Why am I not surprised that you think dem neocon Jooos forced Carter to apologize?


Sig Heil!

12 Ken Hoop: since Pali "resistance" means sending out babyhunters to look for Israeli soft targets, you have put yourself in the position of advocating terrorism against the Jews. Sieg Heil, indeed.

13 #6 wooga: Interesting choices. I know Harding had Teapot Dome and similar scandals, but why Buchanan?
Also, I presume you chose Wilson for the whole League of Nations thing and the precedent it set.
#3 Political Critic: Under Carter, the inflation rate went from 4% to 20%. The friendly neighborhood 6-for-5 every week legbreaking loan shark actually had competitive rates with major financial institutions. Morale in the military reached a nadir. As others have pointed out, Carter's toothless response to the hostage taking set the stage for a lot of the problems we are having with the Saracens today.
Bush has had lots of problems--no argument there.
The war has been run on the cheap, apparently with little or no long-term planning at the start, ROE's which are more dangerous to our troops than to the enemy, not to mention the constant effort to portray this as Vietnam redux. The ROE problem is apparently being solved. The others, well, we'll see. As was pointed out on, I believe, Protein Wisdom, lack of failure in Iraq is not an option for liberals. This is because if we succeed in Iraq, it will cause people to again look at Vietnam and to uncover truths which are unpleasant to liberals.
As to the economy, it is way better than under Carter, and I say this as someone who has not been employed full-time since May (anyone who wants to hire a 52 yr. old chemist please drop me a line). Bush inherited an economy perched on top of the .com bubble just before the venture capitalists who had funded said bubble started asking hard questions about what they were getting for their money, thereby causing the bubble to burst, thereby causing 1929 lite. The company I worked for at the time manufactured electronic materials primarily used by circuit board manufacturers, so I had a ringside seat for the collapse.
IMHO, Carter beats Wilson for worst. Wilson may take second depending on wooga's reasoning. Clinton is right up there, rounding out our top/bottom three. This is on the basis of both his domestic and foreign policies. Before someone starts ranting about the surplus, re-read the section above about the .com bubble. It was all smoke and mirrors. Add into that the fact that the Republican-controlled Congress stopped Hillarycare in its tracks and forced welfare reform down Clinton's throat, and you have the reasons for the surpluses (or were they only projected surpluses, I forget). His foreign policy seemed to consist mainly of kowtowing to the UN and European sensibilities. Hence the rating at the bottom.

14 All you anti-Israel lefturds should remember that it was created as a state by your beloved, Communist founded UN.

15 The UN is proof that majority rule is stupid. Those that are qualified should rule and those that are qualified should be the ones allowed to vote. Elections are getting to be detriment to a countrys' stability. Would you ask a class of 1st graders to pick their teacher? The winner would be the one who promised the most candy. Our national elections are turning to be just that.
