What Else Did You Mean?

I was a young teenager when Jimmy Carter was President. I wasn't aware of the damage he brought to this country during the Iranian Hostage saga. It wasn't until many years later that I realized, with shame and embarrassment- just how bad a President Mr. Carter really was. I wouldn't use the term "Irreverent" to describe him. He was more "impotent". Choosing to take no action because he could not make a decision, Carter opened the first doors to radical Islam's emboldened mindset to destroy America. Like it not, he is trying to alter history and alter his legacy.


ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday his remarks were "careless or misinterpreted" when he said the Bush administration has been the "worst in history" for its impact around the world.

Speaking on NBC's "Today," Carter appeared to retreat from a statement he made to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for a Saturday story in which he said: "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history."

Carter said Monday that when he made the comment, he was responding to a question comparing the Bush administration's foreign policy to that of Richard Nixon.

"And I think Richard Nixon had a very good and productive foreign policy and my remarks were maybe careless or misinterpreted. But I wasn't comparing the overall administration and I was certainly not talking personally about any president," Carter said.

Oh I see. Thank you Mr. Carter for clarifying this. I wasn't really sure what you meant.

I think someone finally punched Carter in the face and told him he has gone too far now.
