President Jimmy Carter - The Carter Center

[TheModelification]

President Carter got the peace prize too. You know Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize twelve days after taking office. Upon acceptance of winning it, Obama was praised by the committee, "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy". . They also gave the peace prize to Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the best known terrorist organization on the globe. This is like giving it to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the KKK.

[svenroser]

Personally,I´m a bit shocked by these ever ongoing hate attacks towards Jimmy Carter.I know he didn´t excactly serve as president in America´s tricky times,but at least he had real ideals,maybe he just couldn´t realise most of them,and he probably would´ve been assasinated if he´d pushed them through,but after him,things got really freaky on a world´s scale.He got accused for not solving what neither president after him has not been able to solve!I only see more confusion ever since!

[44MONTEREY]

Jimmy Carter won the peace prize

but at the expense of the Palestinians, I think.

I agree, PEACE NOT APARTHEID.

ae iranian who hates khoemini and all MUllahs in iran, who is now in exile, i hate from deep of my herath this mad guy called jimmy carter, who supported khomeii 1979 to power, carter helped khomeini to massacre iranian patriots

[JoseAnd911World]

He promised New York not to give up hope when the city was in a financial crisis, too bad he did little for other issues but Carter was okay for president for a while.

[jetmech001]

pathetic old worthless bastard.Reagan kicked your ass.

[Mcfungulz]

reagan was probably the best president on the earth.

[jcsgeddes]

Jimbo Cartier is single handedly responsible for setting up Iran the way it is. Don't like the fact that Iran is developing Nukes? Blame Carter he's the one who deposed the Shah! Hello people wake up!

[Dwhite4490]

Carter has the wisdom to know that as long as any are oppressed, none of us are safe. It not only serves the people of the mideast if we make them safe from poverty, exploitation or ghettoization, it serves us all. This is not liberal claptrap, this is the pragmatic truth. Carter has spent his life working on behalf of impoverished and marginalized. If one looks at his life, over all and in the long run, he has proven to be a man of integrity--not purchased by oil or corporate profits.

[bobbeth6]

Jimmy Carter like most leftist refuses to accept the notion that on balance, The U.S. has been the greatest force for good, the world has ever known. Real evil exists in this world, and must be defeated. You get down and dirty with real evil. If that makes enemies like the collective United Nations so be it. That organization is so corrupt, duplicitous, and amoral that I can't think why we would want their approval for anything we need to do anyway.

[HNK222]

"That organization is so corrupt, duplicitous, and amoral"

Sounds like an apt description of the Republican Party. The irony of a rightwing twit that supports endless wars-for-profit calling ANYONE "amoral" speaks for itself. I guess when your "leader" says he's a born-again christian while simultaneously being the most morally bankrupt president in US history, your worldview tends to be completely corrupt.

[bobbeth6]

Profit? Truth is we've spent considerable treasure in terms of the lives of our best and brightest and national GDP for small return. Maybe the President's ledger accounts beyond $'s and cents.Corrupt and bankrupt? Acting with disregard for reputation and approbation to do what he feels is his duty isn't analogous to those words.Protecting Americans&America has been his focus, fighting real evil. Dem's can't acknowledge the reality of Islamo-facism.A party of integrity and moral clarity?

[bobbeth6]

Want to know who really is amoral,corrupt,and duplicitous in government? read "The Shadow Warriors" by Ken R. Timmerman. It tells how liberals in the C.I.A. and State Department worked to embarrass and misinform the President,subvert the administration policies and disinform the public through the news media and allies in Congress.If the book is accurate these idealogues are TRAITORS as they put their own beliefs ahead of the troops, country, and the president they swore to serve.

[kurohune07]

bobbeth6- What planet are you on? "U.S has been the greatest force for good, the world has ever known"?! WoW You must be mentary challenged. For your information, Mr. Carter is most revered American in world's opinion. I personally believe he is way too good for.

[kurohune07]

You know what I meant was Mr. carter is way too good for U.S.

[kurohune07]

He is way too good for YOU! Yes, This is the world's opinion. I am proud Non-American.

[Dwhite4490]

Well thank you FOX News. Can't you idiots think for yourself and judge someone apart from parroting the ideologues on the far right?!

[bobbeth6]

Even a parrot knows a cracker when it sees one. All this leftist crap about how the U.S. and Britain victimized the Middle East in the 20th century is just that crap. Most of these countries were subjugated by the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. The Islamic peoples in that region are not that far removed being the nationless nomadic herdsman that they were. We gave them a means for political independence, and great wealth. Now we get blamed for their problems.

[soon49]

if only the people who can help, would. The current gov needs 20 million barrels of oil per day and are willing to do anything to get it and make huge profits. reduce consumtion, bring home the millitary. fix roads, bridges, cities, schools etc.

[jcsgeddes]

Yes, yes, that's it... And then the Islamo-Fascists follow our men & women in uniform home and start Jihad in your backyard. BRAVO!

[plenty2see]

britain and the US carvedup the middle East in the 1920s, for the oil ,and put puppet dictators in charge of the countries they created, you people need to readyour history books ok , its your countrys past that has created ongoing troubles for you , not a cple of Presidents, as for jimmy carter having a help them attitude whats wrong with that ,

[kurigalzu]

"The countries that they created in the 1920s"? Then who were those guys that came to power after WWI? The problem is all the people of the mid-east have ever known for 1400 years is warlord governments. Who's running Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lybia, Pakistan. Other nations there just trade in one dictator after another. What Jimmy forgot was you cannot deal with a dictator. Look at how these "leaders" treat their own and remember Lord Acton's cautionary observation!

[charlie3x]

This fool is the reason why the US is reviled across the mideast. Carters' stupidity is the germanation for the radical acts by maniacs in the last 30 years. Only Clintons' brainless assistance in the release of the 911 murderer Mohammed Atta surpasses the Peanut Farmers doltish, foolish presidency.

[747dog]

I am a georgian...I am a country man...i eat cornbread an pinto beans...and i agree with all you in favor of him shutting tfup!!!

[mythexposer]

2nd worst president in American history! #1 was Clinton.

[danlay]

As a native Georgian I am just sick that this fool is from my state. Lets see, he gave away the Panama Canal, overthrough the Shah of Iran and gave us the Islamic militants we have today, dismantled the US military,single handedly created double digit inflation,25% mortage rates,and ,oh yeah, lusted in his heart. I wish this bastard would shut the fuck up!

[2global]

there are always some ppl who wanna save the world.. thats fore sure

[blrp999]

Carter was the worst president in US history. He was a one-termer for good reason. No amount of spin can rehabilitate his image. Just give up and go back to coddling communists like Chauvez. You don't fool anyone.

[johnsmdm]

I agree Rocco, these comment people are sons of bitches..might makes right..rule with an iron rod..we have one chance for Empire, join!

[rocco218r]

The worst president in American history has been hard at work since leaving office trying desparately to rehabilitate his image. However, nothing can take away from the fact that on his watch we had double digit inflation, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, the Iranians seized our embasssy and took hostages, and generally dithered and acted confused.

He is a confused, pathetic old son-of-a-bitch.

[cristinamejia]

I admire very few men, especially in politics!

This man is the best the USA has to represent itself to the world as he swims with sharks and a great example of true christianity.

He has his priorities in order and a worthy example to

follow. The impact one man can make.

[SpiralOvt]

He was president of the united states of america. That title alone is aquired only by doing the exact opposite of the values Cristianity supports by covert means. Good presidents are dead presidents.

[havlicekdj]

I would like to read one day that you who bash Mr Carter, would tackle the issues that he has. do your homework and write the book with facts. We all have a story to tell. tell it.

[johnsmdm]

as a jew I'm telling you that what he said in his book about Israel being an apartheid state was hurtful and abusive as well as mearsheimer amd mandela too..

[rocco218r]

amen! jc's comments in his book were damaging to israel's stand in the middle east. he has always been more pro-arab. what an ass!

[ldkennison]

This guy is either senile or mentally ill. He trashes the current President when he in fact was the worst President in the last century. He hob-nobs with Communists and leaders who plan on destoying America. His books are full of lies and ridiculous assumptions. And then he thinks what he says is important. His goal of peace at all costs would invite a barrage of terrorist attacks. He has never thought clearly, but now his mind is obviously muddled beyond explanation.

[mrtubester]

I never thought much good about his poor job as presidet. His weak responses to Islamic provocations set America up for problems with fundimentalists that haunt us today. But his recent comments about "facts" in the near east vis-a-vie Palestinians really threw me for a loop. This guy must be senile to ignore the admissions of terrorism and their celebration of murder by them, and try to sell us on the idea that a Palestinian state would be anything but another enemy to America.

[ol49rrrrr]

And where has your current President's "strong" response gotten the US? Into a lot of shit.

[MichiganPatriot]

Jimmy Carter is a senile old bastard; the absolute worst president of the 20th century. 18% inflation, the "energy crisis," and the Iran hostages. The only thing he did of note was to bring Begin and Sadat to Camp David. He needs to go away now, sit in his rocking chair with a shawl on his lap, sip tea, and quietly die. He's done nothing since getting out of office except for build houses for those who choose not to work, and damage our country by his senile and socialistic commentary.

[realiteecheck]

You are unfortunately and uneducated 60IQ why don't you get educated before you write anymore idiotic dumbassness. Its funny that you call yourself a patriot, or did you mean parrot

[MichiganPatriot]

Check the facts, you child. The inflation rate in 1980 (Prior to the elections) was OVER 18%.

Research the facts and prove me wrong... but present the facts which you (should) cite when defending your argument. Want economic facts? They're out there. I got mine IN COLLEGE ECONOMICS CLASSES!

Go ahead and check inflation, GDP, GNP, etc., for the past 50 years and tell me which president had the worst monetary policy.

[DBGamradt]

It wasn't inflation it was 22% interest rates that he got blamed for - you do know the difference I'm sure since you took an econ class? It was the director of the CIA Bill Casey who made a deal with Iran as a favor to Ronnie not to release them until Reagan won the election - how else would you explain why they were released the day after Reagan took office?

"Doubt is not a pleasant state, but certainty is a ridiculous one."  - Voltaire

[MichiganPatriot]

Thanks for helping prove my point, lib.

Where's your proof about Casey?... nevermind, the subject here is Carter and his failure.

Re: your theory... what if Reagan didn't win? OH! You are so owned!

[MichiganPatriot]

Oh, and inflation 13.58% in 1980 due to Carter's failed monetary policy. 1983, it was 3.22%. It's been a few years since college.

Yes, DBGamradt, you are still my bitch. Go ahead, keep performing fellatio on Carter. ENJOY!

[rocco218r]

MP...how can people stick up for that old peanut farmer? He should have stayed on the farm in Georgia. He almost ruined the country.

[rocco218r]

this is one time this ohioan and buckeye fan can agree with a wolverine. jimmy carter was a failure; building homes for the lazy is nothing for him to be proud of.

[MichiganPatriot]

Agreed!

And may the best team win tomorrow (later today). Hail to the victors valiant. Hail to the conquering heroes. Hail! Hail! To Michigan the Champions and the Best!

(had to add that in for my team!)

[Garrison628]

I love Atlanta

[dmccoig]

Jimmy Carter is a class act,

I sent a note to the Carter Center asking them to pass along how much I enjoyed reading his book the Hornet's Nest

He (Jimmy Carter) wrote me a hand written note back!

Awesome

I tucked it in the book, someday a person will pick up the book and find the note

Dan

[DBGamradt]

I agree - class and principal! There is still hope!
