"You have to know how poorly Barack Hussein Obama has performed in office when the phrase the "worst President ever" has already become a cliché. 

Obama's first term is frequently compared to the devastation of Jimmy Carter's first and only term. It left Carter a rejected, embittered man, frequently critical of those who succeeded him."

I know, I know, we already know this but, I just like seeing it in print. It feels good, reel good!

I enjoy reading it. Facts are always fun.

At least old Jimmy had his peanut crop to keep him in beans after he was dumped. If Oblowhard tries to go back to Chicago in November I don't think Rhom will greet him with open arms. There's only room for one at the top of the heap.

There's another difference. I think Jimmy is actually a decent human being. I don't feel the same about Obama.

Jimmy screwed things up by accident and Obama is doing it on purpose.

Once out of Office, not sure Obama is going to stick around. I have a strong feeling an indictment will follow him in his not so distant future!

I voted for Carter, Yes, I was a little stupider than I am today.

Yeah, he can pardon all his henchmen; but he can't pardon himself.

Wishful thinking. The last thing he'll do as president, is pardon himself and head straight over to the United Nations as a global organizer.

The two choices for president in 2012 have both tried to keep secret their fiscal backers as well as their true policy intentions backed by their detailed methods of implementation. 

When I was a young man the two presidential contenders were Dwight Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson.    Eisenhower was a seasoned military man and a true patriot. Stevenson was a well regarded Governor, someone who you could trust with guarding your money, your possessions and defending your civil rights.

I had a hard time deciding between the two since they were both so well qualified.

Ah, yes. Ike and Adlai. Adlai, for the day, was as liberal as they came. Ike, for all his ability to organize, ( D Day was a prime example ) was really a bad President, pretty damned liberal in his own right.

I remember watching him on TV as a boy, trying to wrap my head around the scope and importance of the war he had won, which propelled him into office.  At the end of the day I think his advice warning against the military-industrial complex was spot-on, just as much as the need for our interstate highway system.

Hindsight says he could have been a Donk just as easily as a Republican. His brand of politics had been dealing with both parties in Congress. After WWII, he was everybody's fair-haired, nearly-bald, son.

Yes, he was wanted by both the DIMS and PUBS as a candidate. He was actually pushed for President by the BIG Eastern Rockefeller Country Club PUBS to keep Mr Republican, Mr Conservative, Bob Taft from the nomination. I can not but believe we would never have traveled so far down this road to liberalism and/or socialism, if Bob Taft had become President. The only good thing Ike did was get the Truce in Korea, though why he didn't pull out after the truce, is beyond me.

FDR had begun packing the SCOTUS with liberals, Truman continued it, as did Ike, and we wound up with Nine Liberal Unelected Divines For Life, and the country has been on a downhill slide to oblivion ever since. The Warren Court among many of its 'accomplishments' let the known Commies get away with murder.

Ike helped drive some of the final nails into the coffin of states rights. A pox on him.
