Jimmy Carter is solely responsible for the problems we currently have with radical islam. His policies made us look weak to vicious animals who only understand strength and violence.
Exactly, thanks again, Jimmy.

It started way before that. Right after WWI Britain occupied many of the areas and created discord between the West and the Middle East. It was only after WWII that America really started interfering in the Middle East and helping in setting up puppet governments for oil. Many Presidents have had a history of appeasement or turned a blind eye to what is going on. Saddam came into power long before Carter became President. You can't blame that on Carter. Reagan helped Saddam acquire weapons which he used to kill his own people. Mr.Cheney and Mr. Rumsfield even shook hands with that man when they needed him and then dumped him.
Politics make strange bedfellows and however much you twist the facts the truth remains the same. All presidents have committed major blunders.

Come on now. You can't blame everything on Carter. There have been a lot of mistakes made since his time.
Reagan shouldn't have helped Saddam.
Bush 1 should have told Saddam if you take Kuwait we will kick your posterior.
Clinton should have taken out UBL when he had the chances.
Bush 2 should have been covert taking out Saddam.
These were all bi partisan mistakes.
And the UN should have taken care of all these things so we didn't have to.
No you can't blame everything on Jimmy.

Wouldn't be our faults if we voted for him? Are unintended consequence assignable to blame Presidents? Tough call. Carter was punishment by the Nation to the Republicans. In hindsight everyone should agree that Ford would have been better.

The United States will suffer from now on because of Jimmy Carter.
Not all of these freaky judges were appointed by Clinton, the worst ones are Carters.

i find it hard to connect Carter with any of the events we face today .
I do happen to feel he was not a strong enough politician to accomplish his goals and was bulluied by congress .
He had many plans that had helped his state and attempted to cut budgets and spending that was wastefull .Congress put an end to this as they thrieve on pork .

The peanut head strikes again! He was such a waste of a president, tops my list as the worst U.S. President, and a very damaging figure since he left office.

He was by far the biggest failure as a president in my lifetime. His foreign policy set the world back decades.
