Carter Spouts Off Again

Jimmy Carter was a horrible president. He's also a horrible former president.

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) -- Former President Carter said Saturday the detention of terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base was an embarrassment and had given extremists an excuse to attack the United States.

Carter also criticized the U.S.-led war in Iraq as "unnecessary and unjust."

"I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.," he told a news conference at the Baptist World Alliance's centenary conference in Birmingham, England. "I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts."

..."What has happened at Guantanamo Bay ... does not represent the will of the American people," Carter said Saturday. "I'm embarrassed about it, I think its wrong. I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people."

Disgrace?

Carter's a disgrace.

He was a miserable failure when he was in office. Absolutely miserable!

There's no question that Carter was an embarrassment as a president.

Jimmy should stick to building houses. His persistent criticism of Bush is unprecedented. Past former presidents have not made a habit out of openly bashing the sitting president.

As usual, Carter is misguided in his ideas about what's right for the country. Now, in his old age, he has become as insufferable as he is wrong.

Jimmy Carter was a horrible president. He's also a horrible former president.

That made me laugh. I seriously wonder how he looks at his Presidential legacy? Such an appeaser...the peanutbrain!

Sorry. I should have more respect for a former U.S. President. I should...but It's a struggle.

Mary, Let me introduce you to a true American, Larry the Cable Guy. Although this commentary is an old one, it still applies today.
he has this to say about President Carter:

What the hell is this Russia?! Jimmy Carter said Bush is doing a horrible job and said he aint agreed with nothing he's done! Well aint that calling the kettle African American! This sum-bitch has a nobel prize in horrible jobs! This peanut picking lib is either getting alsheimers or else he's forgetting them gas lines back in '75 that was longer than Patrick Ewing's wiener at the Gold Club! Put a tie and a ball cap on a turd and you'd have a better president than this peanut butter butthead. I'm sure Carter's a good fella, but him saying Bush is doing a bad job is as ridiculous as Rosie O'Donnell dancing on a stripper pole! This dude aughta stick to shuffle board and shut his planters pie hole! He gave away the Panama Canal, got us in gas lines and then had terrorists bully us around like we was special ed retards! If it wasn't for Reagan cleaning his clock like we'd all be walking around with dots on our heads and riding camels to work! Granted, Bush aint the Lord Jesus and I railed on him last week over legalizing immigrants but at least we aint got folks in wheelchairs getting pushed off cruise ships! Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy! Looks like ole Carter done drink to much Billy Beer or something cause only a drunk would talk out his ass like this. I like Jimmy Carter, I think he means well but he needs to check his backyard fore he tells somebody else there yard is looking sloppy. That's like a waterhead that just got done drooling in the fries telling another waterhead he aint doing a good job making burgers. Alright it aint nothing like that I'm just saying this Carter mispoke! Like a feller said leaving a drive thru, "What's in my fries?"

It is hard to have respect for Carter.

As a former president, even Clinton has behaved in a more honorable fashion than him!

Larry the Cable Guy calls 'em like he sees 'em.

HAHAHAHAHA

Definitely politically incorrect at times, but there's a lot of truth in there as well.
