Jimmy Carter's opinions

Former president Carter's revision of his remarks about the Bush administration being the "worst in history" is typical of his history of inept thinking. He's done it many times before. When it comes to the worst administration in history, Carter is certainly in the running. He did nothing about the terrible recession on his watch but blame the American people. He did nothing about the militant Islamic revolution in Iran that set up the hostage crisis and put Iran on the track to terrorism. And he gave away the Panama Canal to China's influence.

It has always been understood that former presidents do not criticize sitting presidents. They can certainly be available for counsel and advice, but that as far as it should go, particularly when the taxpayers are paying his way. Carter doesn't get it, nor should he have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize. He's simply a meddling self-absorbed fool who needs to shut up.
