Charlie Rose - Jimmy Carter

[Strategery89]

I HATE Jimmy Carter! He ruined Iran. Incompetent Nincompoop.

In fact, he ruined the entire fucking planet; He should be destroyed!

[phoenixbarcs]

@Strategery89 what an asshole statement

[Strategery89]

@phoenixbarcs Look! If he couldn't perform a task as simple as giving the Shah financial and military support, he should have stayed on his peanut farm and read his bible. Now Iran's stuck with a clerical dictatorship, all thanks to that incompetent nincompoop! And thanks to him, you silly Americans are stuck being "allies" with Saudi Arabia, because their the current swing oil producer instead of a loyal , progressive secular Iran under the shahshahnate.

[JamalDOA]

Conversely, Jimmy Carter was one of the best Presidents in regards to foreign policy

[pkring]

Brilliant American. Remember bush was the WORST "president" in U.S. history. Carter was just a weak one. bush was evil. Carter was a Christian.

[wallster44]

Jimmy Carter was one of the greatest Presidents we ever took for granted. This man was (and still remains) 100% behind the American people and he's continued it by swinging a hammer with habitat for humanity as well as his outspoken mantra of caring for our fellow Americans. The political system could NEVER let a man of his character truly lead our Nation. Everything he said about Bush is true and he said it with class.

Late 1970's--Jimmy Carter, Put Solar Panels On The White House (in an attempt to set an example).

Early 1980's-- Ronald Reagan, Removes Those Solar Panels (in an attempt to set an example)?

Forward 30 Years. China Leads The World In Solar Technology.

SAY IT WITH ME PEOPLE......SOOOOLAR....GOOOOD

[Paulhotaling]

@lucychoov it was because they were leaking...george w replaced them

[jw676]

@lucychoov .......Carter had the right idea but Reagan did not....

[suwanee4712]

@lucychoov If we had listened a ltitle more to Carter we might be energy independent today. Instead he was dismissed as a loon for putting solar panels on the White House. Just think about a world where the U.S. depends on the Middle East for absolutely nothing. If we start now, perhaps in 20-30 years we can be energy independent. But how many wars are we going to have to fight during that time?

[jmjfanss]

@suwanee4712

But Big Government was never the answer.

let the free market decide.

[dafarreller]

I love Jimmy!

[aha45]

He thinks its a "good move" for us to have a new president?

Oh Jimmy

[CyberspacedLoner]

I am happy a new era has begun, liberty for modern thinking people has finally returned, a joyous time of celebration.

[CyberspacedLoner]

, scale back occupation activities as to only keep these countries free from too active terrorist networks, prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons by means necessary, maybe strategic bombing, restore the economy to functioning well again, a more critical stand towards China and Russia which are still autocratic

[CyberspacedLoner]

I am happy George W Bush no longer is President of the USA, the first years of his Presidency were bearable, the second term especially the late years were hard to stand, he is finally gone, the long wait is over, the public space and my mind is free from this abominable dumb stubbornly lying distorting fuck, I hope Barack Obama does well, respect the Constitution of the USA better than his predecessor, end the disastrous adventure wars.

[snake063]

Look at the mirror asshole and you will find the worst president ever. Just die already peanut brain!!!

[aha45]

Damn....

[ronpaul2008rocks]

He's 100% right about the most important disaster of the Bush administration -- the US is openly using the tools of the police state (torture, no habeas corpos, spying on citizens) and is no longer the champion of human rights. This is why I am no longer a Republican. If the US is not the champion of human rights, who is? China? Europe? Russia? (Of course the answer here is no, no, no). If it is not the US, it will be no one. This is the great disaster of the Bush administration.

[ColevanFilms]

Now, if only someone would inform Mr. Carter that he was "replaced" in 1981.  Maybe then, he'd stop traveling the world and pretending that he is still in office.

[Nozferat]

I hearby inform you to STFU...

[ColevanFilms]

Amusing.  Thank you.

[Rx4pabulum]

We are now Bush free!!!

[moultriegadog]

Jimmy's Old, give him a chance!

[parakeethands]

he had his chance already! remember Iran in 1979? remember?........?????......th­e worst administration he claims? my oh my! he must be really old...senile, maybe he forgot his own blunders.

[jwhigham]

Wait a minute.........did I hear this clown say that Bush had the most disastrous foreign policy of any president ??? Are you kidding me ??? This was the toolbox that allowed Islam to rear its ugly head and stood around while hostages were held in Iran for months on end !!!

[hondoLS]

Islam's head is not ugly. Extremism's head is ugly. Iran is ugly. What happened in that country was not the fault of Carter himself, but rather decades of American support of the Shah. Blame Nixon. Do you honestly think that the seeds of revolution were sowed by Carter?

[side1981]

That Tool got Israel and Egypt to stop fighting that's way more than Bush has done.

[parakeethands]

yes, that is correct. 1979. looks like history is repeating itself, high gas cost, bad economy, possible trouble with Iran, etc,.....need i say more? oh yeah, and we have a democrat liberal president again to boot!!!!

[rrmfg]

Please also remember that not only did this moron put the mullahs in power in Iran and gave away the Canal Zone (Panama Canal) he also put Robert Mugabe in Power in what is now the hellhole of Zimbabwe. Please remember that the nation hated his arrogant guts by the time he was booted out of office!

[ColevanFilms]

Shouldn't the former president be helping Hamas lauch rockets into Israel?

[TomasuRikabe3]

Don't be silly. Everybody knows that Palestinians have no rights. How else can you explain Israel's actions since 1967?

[egyptahly]

jimmy doesn't have the power or the right to say that about someone who had the same job as him, what are you trying to say mr jimmy....george bush was good enough to secure the country, and to make terrorists run away like rats ....what did you do in your term as a president...mind your own business mr president and if your house is made of glass, do not through other people houses with stones.

[ccm800]

we ONLY were hit stateside AND most disasterously by terrorists UNDER GWB - lest you forget. SO no one attacked since then - no one did before that AND he had the intelligence to thwart it.

[ColevanFilms]

With all due respect and lest you forget, there was also a bombing at the World Trade Center in 1993 under President Clinton. Additionally, we endured attacks by terrorists on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, on two of our embassies in Africa, and on the USS Cole during his administration. Depsite his best efforts and the intelligence that he had on Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, he could not prevent these attacks. No one could have stopped them or 9/11... not Clinton, Bush, or Obama. No one.

[joyfulvulture]

"Depsite his best efforts and the intelligence that he had on Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, he could not prevent these attacks"

oh yes he could have, i remember reading or hearing about that he could've sent a missile on a mosque at some point in which he was 99% sure bin laden was.

he didnt because there was some random saudi prince there... thats soft... too soft.

[moneymac101]

Are you on crack or somethinng?George Bush didn't do shit to secure our country/

due to 9/11,mushroom clouds played the fear card so many times.

[liberal4ever]

Exactly, people love to forget that Bush was in office for 8 months before 9/11. If there's an attack within that same period of time on Obama's watch, do you think the conservatives are going to give him a pass like they're did for W? Not a chance.

[akamal1113]

May Allah SWT curse george bush & hif family.

Ameen

[KiNPiN1835]

what's up with these 1 min trailers?

[sem1conscious]

I think George Bush is a good example that 1 man CAN make a difference.

I've got doubts about how much good Obama can really do for our country, being only one man.

Then I think about how much bad 1 person has just done and I think it's got to be inversely proportionate.

That being said I'm throwing as much support for Obama as I can and believe his heart and his efforts are in the right place.

[balthazar49]

i don't think it is realistic to hold only w. bush responsible for the invasion to iraq and the current state of the u.s. economy, he is too dumb for all this, but technically he is a war criminal and must be impeached

[creten69]

If obama no longer cared about his life,there would be tremendous wonderful change,he has a family.Inverse doesnt work,its harder to fight for good than perpetuate and allow bad.Life is atrophy.EVERYONE needs to sacrifice and fight for what we believe america to be,but the majority wont,its so much easier just to take the money.

[lamouchemorte]

You said it Jimmy!

[lemwire]

U>S>A = U.S.A i love your colors and everything about USA go subconcious go :D

[notscooter952]

Is it just me, or has Jimmy Carter been on a lot of different talk news shows in the past week or two? Good for him.

[TATIANAOUDINE]

he is doing press for a book he just wrote about America's foreign relations
