    True that, Tom.

    LOL @ "overseeing elections".

    Forget it, you can't rehabilitate his image:

    Yeah, always going around, apologizing for terrorists, bad-mouthing ANY Republican president, stabbing Israel in the back, whining about America...what's not to love?

    Carter...hands down...the worst president ever.

    Not far behind him was Bush Sr. and Clinton.

    It's one of the things he does. An observered election is more likely to be fair than an unobserved one. He has international respect for the work he does. I suppose because he criticized Bush jr or perhaps out of jealousy that they have no comparable elder statesman, some extremist Republicans are doing a smear job on him.

    Oh, another right-wing diatribe; how impressive.
    That's his shocking rewriting of history. :eek:

    I haven't heard him apologize for terrorists - only someone who loves to hate would image that. He's very good friends with Gerald Ford and friendly with Bush Sr (they recently finished a joint tour). He was friends with Nixon as well. He never spoke ill of Reagan. He doesn't think Bush Jr. doing well in foreign policy (something most people, including many Republicans, agree with).

    Pointing out that Isreal shares blame is not "stabbing [it] in the back".

    Have you even read his book or listened to him speak on the subject? Or does all your information come regurgitated by right-wing Carter-bashers?

    I watched Carter on TV say that the Revolutionary War was a mistake. And that if we would have just waited we could have had our independance with out war, just like canada.

    That statement alone makes his the worst president in history.

    Wow if we would have just worked with the Brittish and they would have been just a little more sensitve to our needs. We all could have lived happy under the king for 100 more years.

    Does being treasonous make you a bad president.

    WAIT A MINUTE!! I did go to school when history was taught as facts, not revisionism . . but the New Deal? I might LOOK old, but actually I'm still booming along.

    I was in school when Truman relieved MacArthur from command in Korea. Makes an impression on a young mind . .

    Dr Bob was in graduate school when Truman was President. Lincoln was President when he was in the 5th grade. Thats how he ended up on the top 5 worst list. :laugh:

    Lincoln and the current Bush.

    just bad presidents at a bad time in America's history.

    My main reason for saying Lincoln is that Ol' "Honest" Abe, was early in his life an athiest and later came to a belief in a creating being, but denied the Bible, denied that Jesus was the Christ, and denied that men could be forgiven of sins. He was a garden variety agnostic. He even wrote a book during his early political career that supposedly refuted the virgin birth among other things. It attacked the whole Christian worldview, but a friend of his destroyed it so Lincoln's political career wouldn't be ruined...then he was later elected president.

    Reasons for the current Bush...just watch the news, I'm sick of talking about it.

    Jimmy Carter without a doubt out of his depth in every area. It befuddles me why the media goes to him for foriegn policy and economic council.
    Jimmy Carter is an honest decent man who does a good work at habitat for humanity, but his honesty and decency are exactly what made him inept in Washington.

    Lincoln . As for current presidents, it's a toss between Klinton or Bush Jr.

    How can anyone not pick Grant or Harding?
    Is corruption that easy to overlook?

    My least favorite? Clinton, hands down. While his actions in office were morally degrading, I’d have to choose him because of international policy and his actions towards the military. (I remember him visiting Bosnia and no one from our base camp wanted to take the day off to hear him talk – however we had to).

    Few people could tell you five facts about Warren Harding or Ulysses Grant.

    For most, history is interpreted through the filter of "during my cognitive years." Not meant as a slight at all...but not many of us know a lot about the presidents, outside of the "giants" and those serving during our time on Earth.

    Harding was my least favorite way back on page one, BTW.

    Reposting a link: Click HERE to learn more about US presidents. It's a good concise primer.

    My apologies: I must've skimmed over your post too quickly.

    Regards to you and yours,

    P.S. LOVE the name of your committee - got a laugh out of that!
