Sorry. When I saw how the copy looked I had to try to clean it up. Here it is again----

Unfortunately this administration has made everyone who doesn't agree with it unimportant. That is the problem. Millions of people are being left out of the decision making process and that is bound to have repercussions. That is reality.

Bush was the 1st appointed POTUS in history, presided over the worst attack in history, he has borrowed more money from foreign creditors then all other POTUS combined, together, in history, he presised over the worst human disaster in history, he is responsible for the greatest strategic blunder in Iraq in History. Bush will end up like all Tyrants do, at the end of a noose. The American People are cowards. Never Forget Nine Eleven Remember? Where is UBL?

[muzzlebush]

I think the Bush administration is doing a good job of keeping to its well-scripted party line by calling President Carter irrelevant. In the eyes of George, ***, Carl and the rest of the current gang of thugs running our country, anyone who is not directly involved with lining the pockets of them or their supporters is irrelevant.
I do find the concept of calling a Noebel Peace Prize winner irrelevant even more laughable given Carter's efforts for peace in the Middle East and Bush's efforts to inflame the area.

Let's list Jimmy's accomplishments:

Gave away the Panama Canal.

Attacked by "killer rabbit" while fishing - had to be saved the secret service - Yes google this!

2nd president to be openly critical of a current sitting president ( Bubba another president from the south started this tradition ) Except for Jimmy & Clinton I don't recall seeing another president seek out the limelight on the world stage to make bizarre criticisms of a sitting president.

Lost election to that idiot Bonzo actor Ronald Reagan.

Made our military a laughing stock during his four years. Embarrassing failed Iranian rescue mission where we left our helicopters behind in the desert.

Bush's Economic Success is a Fraud.

The government is spending hundreds of billions more than it is taking in each year. That spending gives the economy a bump. It's a great scheme to make the economy look strong now, but it robs the future.

Check the national debt figures.

Unnecessary war in Iraq + HUGE increase in national debt warrantless spying on Americans condoning torture incompetence in Iraq limiting of stem cell research = WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

One more thing. The fed has hidden M3 for the past 6 or 8 months. They still have the data, they just don't publish it. They need a bit of secrecy to make sure folks don't rip money out of the banks & buy gold just yet.

Nevertheless, you can get a reconstructed figure for M3 that has a .99999 correlation with the old M3 at this URL:

So you have an economy that was growing 4% but is slowing and a money supply growing at 11% annualized.

That spells "WEIMAR REPUBLIC".

Carter is losing it. First he goes raving partisan at the '04 Convention (I was shocked), and then he alienates those vested in the only meaningful part of his legacy with his "apartheid" book, now he, being the worst recent president in memory, tries to claim someone else is "the worst" thereby making him second worst(?).

Isn't it out-of-bounds for the worst to declare a new "worst". Aren't they disqualified by common sense "conflict of interest" rules?

fast2K:

Your rose colored glasses are skewed by a sea of green. The fed has been exploding M3 to keep the markets from crashing, the dollar is at multi-year lows & the trade imbalances are at record levels.

Take a good look at the dow in euros or any other non-devalued, non-trashed currency & the scenario ain't so rosey. The fed is pumping up the dow to mitigate the effects of the housing collapse. The inflation numbers have been heavily massaged. We're getting set up for an inflationary Weimar republic here. That's the big picture.

Ever since his one term in office, Carter has been trying to boost his standing among historians and the American public. He has certainly been involved in some good activities, such as Habitat for Humanity, but his diplomatic adventures overseas have usually ended in failure, such as his debacle in North Korea.



While he was President, Carter allowed the Soviet Union to advance around the globe; our American hostages to be taken in Iran and held for over 400 days. During his four years at the helm, our military declined significantly and morale was poor both in the armed forces and throughout the country. In the Carter years, our economy was in shambles with the misery index of a high inflation rate and a high unemployment rate making economy conditions miserable. Interest rates were out of control, taxes were high, and Americans were facing soaring prices and a lack of real buying power.



Carter left all of this mess to Ronald Reagan, who, fortunately, was able to turn around the economy, the military, our standing in the world and the mood of the American people. History should always view Jimmy Carter as one of the worst U.S. Presidents of all-time, not based on opinion, but on his lousy record.
