That Bush is the worst president in history? I DO!
He said: "the worst in history" in international relations, taking aim at the White House's policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.

Too bad that Jimmy Carter became president at a worse time. The whole American economy is in shambles, unemployment is soaring, inflation is high, American policy detested globally. All of these mess he inherited from the two terms of mismanagement created by the Nixon administration (Gerald Ford don't count as he only briefly took over the presidency after Nixon was impeached). Sure, Carter made some positive improvements. But his one term in office wasn't enough to fix all of the problems created by almost a decade of mismanagement made by the previous administration. This damage repair continued up to the Reagan administration.
When GW Bush assumed the presidency from Clinton, the American economy was in a very good shape. The Americans enjoyed better Health Care benefits. The US budget surplus was in the hundreds of billions. The American global policy wasn't so bad. Now on Bush's second term, everything looks very bad. The budget is in a deficit (trillions of dollars). The Iraq war was a whole unending mess. The administration is embroiled in countless scandals. The US had lost its stature as an honest broker of world peace. Diplomacy is at its worst. Surely, the next US president(s) will have the huge task of cleaning out all the mess. It will be very bad if they too will get the blame for all the current administration's failures and the problems this administration had created, which will take years and years of recovery.
Many say that Harry Trumann was also one of the worst US presidents. But Trumann's case was also similar. Trumann took over the presidency after Franklin Roosevelt suddenly died, and he also inherited the massive domestic problems that the US faced in the aftermath of World War 2.

Carter did not win a Nobel Peace prize by being an idiot! He usually does not criticize current Presidents, but like everyone else, he is upset over the way the Republicans have controlled the United States government over the last 7 years. He didn't speak out about Reagan, Bush Sr., or Clinton, but America has gone to hell in a hand-basket under the blundering leadership of the current Republican adminstration.
To put it bluntly, Carter has been a lifelong political leader and humanitarian. He KNOWS what he is talking about.

It's a tossup in my mind between him and James Buchanan who did basically nothing to prevent the Civil War.

Coming from Carter that is rich. I have a MA in history and teach at a small 2 year college. Historians are already saying that Carter and Buchanan are toss ups at the worst president ever.

No one that survived Carter pays any attention to him.
When judging presidents, Carter is always voted the WORST PRESIDENT.
And for good reason.
He was even much worse than Clinton & LBJ.
Even the Democrats make fun of Carter.

Nope
Carter is no room to talk considering his presidency.
No one worth their salt who studies presidents even ask that question tell they are after they are out of office and most of the time they wait until they are dead for a while.
Each president had their feets of clay moments.
FDR rounded up people and put them into camps and censor all mail going in and out of the country.
Bush hasn't done that.
So Jimmy should stay to what he does best build homes and grown peanuts.

Mr. Bush is the kind of leader who comes along in history and ends empires. Our country may never recover from the damage he has done. But I look at it fatalistically--if this country and its society were so defective that an incompetent and corrupt man like Bush could become leader, its own evil and the evil of its people and the evil of its institutions doom it, and rightly, to extinction.

Anyone that agrees with Carter needs to be removed from the general public because they are a danger to not only themselves but those around them.
