| I disagree, I think Clinton was worse than Carter, which would make Jimmy the 3rd worst president. |

That he was. High unemployment, high inflation, and a useless grain embargo against Russia - what a joke. |

Having never grown peanuts, expert agriculturist will tell Jimmy that marijuana is much easier and more profitable to grow than peanuts, Carter could with his legalized marijuana money try to make Ethiopian farmers give up five wife's and become Christians |

Yes, I was- the reason that I consider Clinton worse than Carter is that Carter was honest to a fault, where Clinton has NO redeeming qualities. Carter came into the presidency as the US was going into recession due to LBJs combined spending on the war and Great Society, followed by Nixon and his aborted attempts at leadership. The only reason Clinton didn't look as bad was that he inherited a booming economy, established by twelve years of Conservative presidents and the collapse of the Cold War. Had Clinton been elected in 1976 I suspect his lack of moral fiber would have shown him to be a very close second place to Allah'bama. I'm not sure the country as we know it would have survived to 1981. |

Ray B has a good point of view, Carter got elected by the good ole southern boys who were fooled by his LBJ, Kennedy liberal policies that ruined the ridged, conservative, and uncompromising southern dog Demos who had ran our finances well for 40+ years. |

Carter was way more stupid than he was amoral. He cooperated in emptying Cuban prisons onto U.S. soil and quadrupled the murder rate in Miami very quickly. But at least something like Waco, TX, wasn't in him, and while he may have been stupid enough to do something like give the Chinese the Raytheon missle guidance technology, he never did - but Willie was entirely happy to sell it to them, while also selling them our W88 nuclear warhead technology so the Chinese could return it all in one package (ahem). And Clinton did it while he had his joint pressed against some White House intern's tonsils, which is something else that Carter never stooped to. |
Control is an illusion, because nobody knows what's going to happen next. |

The WIN buttons & campaign was the nutty idea of Ford not Carter.
The simple fact is just about anyone could have beat Ford. I have to admit voting for carter the first time.
I figured he is a Southern Democrat, Governor of Georgia, farmer, Baptist, how bad could he be? When you consider that the alternative was Ford there really wasn't any good choice. |

Quite correct, and a clear temporary brain fart on my part.
Thanks for the correction. |

It hurt every farm in the country, and did nothing to harm the Soviets.
They actually had more meat to eat in the short run since they had to kill off part of the brood herds to compensate for the reduced feed grain for the livestock. It didn't hurt for long since grain can be bought elsewhere.
It destroyed farm product prices in the US for years, which gave the ignorant general public cheap food on the backs of farmers, and made Uncle Jimmy a hero at the dinner table for a short period of time.
Easy to be a hero if what you do only hurts a few who have very little voting power and gives the rest something for nothing.
Raise taxes on the top 2% perhaps? |

On this occasion, they entered the White House together and left together. The White House entry log read, "no description". The logs show Holder and Napolitano were there to meet with President Obama in the East Room."
