Oh my God, just based on the fact that the "Man" is a global warming activist is frighting. The biggest terroists that we need to face these days are the activist, the Health and Safety freaks, Big Pharma, and those that think that their way of thinking are enough to keep eroding our "Rights." Go back to farming Mr. Carter you've done enough damage to this country already by pardoning "Cowards." The blood of our brothers are still soaking the grounds and I in turn would give my blood so that their Honor can be Blessed.

TELL CARTER TO SHUT UP; HE WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT,WE EVER HAD.

Yes, Carter screwed up when he built military bases in the Middle East and we are still paying for that mistake.

I believe he is now truly a man of peace and thats a legacy he can be proud of. Do you think history will remember our current President with kindness? He's just a shill for Big Business and a poster boy for the military-industrial complex.

While I do think Carter needs to shut his mouth, Global warming is an issue and if you don't think it is, you need to go in for a round of electroshock. if anything we need to look to undo the mess this current administration has created and which will easily go down as one of the worst administrations in us history. The stuff these guys have pulled is mindblowing to me.

Carter always was and will remain an idiot. Why anyone wastes time listening to this cowardly little weasel is a mystery.

I agree with Carter. Al Gore should run for president. He's smart, an environmental activist (can't see how this can be construed as being negative or frightening), he has good family values, he has experience, and he should have been president in 2000! Believe it or not, I think he is waiting for his nobel peace prize award and then he will annouce he is running for president. Go Al!!!

The worst President we ever had is in office now along with the worst Vice President.

How in the world does Jimmy Carter come to believe he's now a "kingmaker". I'm a liberal-progressive and a supporter of the Democrat party, save for in 1980 and 1984. Does this abject failure who ushered in Khoumeini and did nothing while his "Theofacsist" replacement for the Shah reigned over 444 days of "America Held Hostage". And he now writes sophomoric tripe about "Our Endangered Values", siezing on the chance to rub in the fact that we finally have a worse president, whose Middle East woes can be traced to Carter's utopian notion that self determination justified precipitating the Shah's fall for the people's will for the Ayatollah.

And, I had to add this: Carter ran on imputing the crimes of Nixon on the most decent of men, Ford. "I can give you a government ... that's filled with LOVE, competence and compassion."

Since his failure on the presidential stage, the president of "LOVE" has been frantically trying to show his competence when relieved of the burdens of the oath of office.

Watching this silly man officiously injecting himself into state matters, making no-brainer pronouncements, and hurt his party by association is aggravating enough. But this hubristic delusion of ascent to kingmaker status goes over the top.

Jimmy Carter, anyone familiar with Al Gore knows he is the most qualified man to stand for the office you had no business holding. Al Gore is a man of deep conscience, with thorough knowledge of the matters comprising the rigors of the presidency. Don't tarnish him by association with your failures and poor judgment

I've supported liberal-progressive causes and candidates from the Democrat party with the notable exception of Reagan v Carter. I saw the fuzzy, undefined peanut farmer coming when hearing the hypocrite effuse with such trype as "I can give you a government that's honest and that's FILLED WITH LOVE, competence, AND COMPASSION."

Well, Reagan's domestic program's hurt many of our most vulnerable. But ideology be damned, he lead and deregulation and tax cuts unleashed our economic engine while monetary policy under Volker completed a tour de force in removing Jimmy's "crisis of confidence" pep talk from memory.

Now this failed President, having penned a few sophormoric books, having a photo-op as part of Habitat for Humanity, and receiving a Nobel Prize that Anwar Sadat took a bullet for, seems to think he has risen to the heights of King-maker.

Anyone familiar with Al Gore's personal qualities, background, depth of understanding of the gammut of matters attendant on the rigors presidency (No, not just global warming) should know he is the most qualified person ever to have sought that office and the most qualified person available to fill it now.

We do not need a failed president who I, with support from Joshua Maravchik in Feb. 2007 "Commentary" deem also our worst ex-president, tarnishing Al Gore by association. Jimmy Carter, I and others find you hurtful to the Democrat Party . Please don't insert yourself into the election and especially, I beg you not to speak at the convention.

Carter may have been a so-so President at best by many people's estimations - but he is easily our greatest living President and greatest ex-President for his work with stewarship of the earth and the promotion of fair and democratic elections around the globe.

If Carter endorsed Gore - Gore has my vote, should he choose to run, although he probably would have it regardless.

The world needs more Carters and Gores and fewer Bushs and Reagens.

Have you considered talking to his wife? Gore needs a diet and support from his family. As Dan Marino might say "hey look at me, I'm back to my campaining weight." Seriously, the Clinton's and Gore's would need to summit and do it again the same as before. Oh, the nostalgia. Carter, Clinton, Gore, Obama, Richardson and Edwards should band together after the primaries to ensure the Republicans do not steal another election. They could all take key positions within our government and share in its success. Clinton, Gore or Obama = Pres & VP, Richardson = Secretary of State, Edwards = Attorney General, Carter = Mentor, Coach and Cheer Leader, America = return to leadership and respect worldwide.

It makes me sad to think how different things would be now, if Gore had been allowed to serve. The Supreme Court robbed America of a glorious beginning to the 21st century. Instead they will be responsible for bombing us back into the Stone Age. Tragic.

Keep bugging him, Jimmy!

I truly hope that Al Gore changes his mind. He is the only person who can fix the broken nation that is America.

The whole world needs Al Gore back in the White House!

Run Al Run!

I think Gore has my vote!

So many of you guys (who are posting here) are so utterly rude and dislikable. You don't deserve a good leader. You deserve the rotten scoundrels you've been getting (Clinton, Bush 1, Bush 2) Telling any former president to "shut his mouth" is simply disgusting. Yep, go ahead. Elect McCain or Guiliani or Clinton or Obama. They will not stop global warming. They will not get us out of the Middle East. They will not fix the healthcare system. They will not abolish our unfair trade agreements. And they are exactly who you, the American people, deserve.

TELL CARTER TO SHUT UP; HE WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT,WE EVER HAD.

Carter, the worst president we ever had ?? Are you kidding or are you just indulging heavily in the hallucinogenics. You mean to tell me that in these wretched times in which we're being dragged through the sewer internationally by this arrogant incompetent simian posing as president (who's about as popular as Satan), that you have the audacity to pin that worst ever distinction on Carter. My advice to you buddy is to either get a brain, stop drinking the kool aid or do some genuine honest research and while you're at it, keep an discreet eye open to the disaster being perpetrated on our country and the world by a coward who shouldn't have being elected dogcatcher much less president.

It is sad that Gore does not want to run. He is much better than that Clinton lady and much better than Obama. Gore can win, he would just have to promote how different i could be (should have) under him. Gore has my vote! PLEASE RUN!

Carter was no idiot nor was he the worst prez. The fact is he was trying to do good things for this country for the long run. Doing that caused some "suffering" in the short term. God knows we americans can't handle THAT. If you think otherwise just look where all these so called "great" presidents have gotten us. They gave the people what they wanted. Gratification for the short term with disregard for the future.

Starting with Regan who ripped the solar panels off the White House roof and got us deep in bed with the OPEC and turned this country into a debtor nation. Good JOB!

Gore has my vote.

I hope those who bandy about the label for Carter of worst president ever remember the likes of "W" first. At least Carter was building bridges in the Middle East between Israel and Egypt and with the Soviet Union, instead of what we currently have. Carter had to clean up after Watergate/Nixon/Ford, remember??? The next president will have to clean up after an even bigger mess.

Re-Elect Gore in 2008

Why would you attack a man of peace? Regardless of his administration look at what he has accomplished since then. The guy does more with his free time than any of you would even think about, and he does it for the benefit of others. A man with his amount of dedication and selflisness deserves to be heard (Nobel Peace Prize recepient at that!)

Carter didn't usher in Khomeini anyhow, only someone silly would believe that. Our meddling with the right of Iran's sovereignity and self-determinitation with Operation Ajax set that course into action.

What's wrong with an activist anyways? Were our founding fathers not activists? Was Martin Luther King Jr not an activist? Was Gandhi not an activist?

Gore's focus on the environment could free us from our reliance on oil (ONE of the reason why I'm here in Iraq) which would solve more than one of our problems, not to mention the big money that is playing puppeteer with our current presidency.

I say: Go for it Gore!

Clara, chill. This is America, where we don't worship our ex-presidents, especially the ones that are an embarrassment.
Carter is NOT the best ex-president ever. He has endorsed a number of fraudulent elections and helped tyrants consolidate their power. From Fujimori to Chavez, Haiti to Africa. His observers are a bunch of communists (I know, I've met some of them and debated a few and seen some of them in observations--not very sincere). Oh, and it's no small thing: Carter is an ANTI SEMITE. Carter is for Gore? Then I KNOW I can't vote for Al. I'd vote for Barack before Al, and Clinton before Gore, but I'll vote for Giuliani or McCain before any of them.

Who are these morons calling Carter the Worst Presidnet Ever? EVERYONE knows that title goes to George W. Bush...not even a close contest.

Pure black and white conservative thinking:

"Oh my God, just based on the fact that the "Man" is a global warming activist is frighting. The biggest terroists that we need to face these days are the activist, the Health and Safety freaks, Big Pharma, and those that think that their way of thinking are enough to keep eroding our "Rights." Go back to farming Mr. Carter you've done enough damage to this country already by pardoning "Cowards." The blood of our brothers are still soaking the grounds and I in turn would give my blood so that their Honor can be Blessed. "

Say what you want about Jimmy Carter,
he was an honest man. That's a whole
lot more than can be said about the
current resident in the White House.

"TELL CARTER TO SHUT UP; HE WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT,WE EVER HAD."

Actually, he polls better than Bush. Carter did not invade Iraq with a lie.

"""Clara, chill. This is America, where we don't worship our ex-presidents, especially the ones that are an embarrassment."""

Hey, Curt. Pull your head out.
Jimmy Carter is respected all over
the world.

You want an embarrassment. Look
no further than the current simian
denizen of the White House. Just
for a laugh check out Shrubs international approval ratings.

Oh, that's right, world opinion don't mean squat to some people.

There have been worse presidents than Jimmy Carter - remember Richard Nixon - "I am not a crook"?

The Unites States of America needs a LEADER to guide this country back onto the right track and there is not a single candidate yet that has the type leadership qualities that will be required past 2008.

Al Gore or Colin Powell are the ONLY people that that have a chance. ANY OTHER CANDIDATE will create the same problems that Bush has and the United States Of America as we know it today will no longer exist.

Wow. This comment section is a perfect example of how we end up with the people we do in oval office.

Ignorant, closed minds, relying on media hype or heresay instead of fact - bah, it makes me sick to my stomach.

Jimmy Carter may not have been the nation's best president, but he is a good man, with good intentions and a good message - what are you people, in 5th grade?

I am by NO means a fan of "W" either, but the day I start acting like I'm 12 years old by name calling and slinging around incorrect information and my own unsubstantiated accusations, then PLEASE take away my voter card.

I wish Al Gore success in ANYTHING he does to help this country, in any capacity.

While Carter may have had his serious faults as President, he's one of the finest MEN on the planet. The guy builds houses for poor people, for God's sake. Gore already has my vote, I hope he runs.

Many seem to forget that during those years of the Arab Oil boycott in 1973, Carter vehemently proposed major conservation and environmental controls in order to save the nation from oil dependence on foreign sources. He was ignored and even mocked by the press and the public who cringed at the costs. Now look at us, mired in an oil war, and spending money like water to get us out of the miserable hole we're in globally. Thanks John q. public!

I particularly liked the "cowardly little weasel" comment in reference to a President who served in the military with distinction. Sounds oddly familiar to the cowardly John Kerry, the cowardly Senator Murtha, the cowardly congressman from Georgia who was crippled in the Vietnam war while neo-conservatives Bush, Cheney Wolfowitz, Libby et al were getting drunk at Happy Hour, flunking out of school and getting DWIs. The audacity of the neo-conservatives discrediting and calling Americans who fought for their country COWARDS is truly enlightening. Shut Up and Go Fight My Wars for ME!

Ah yes.....

Such intense hatred, such ignorance of our own history.....

I also was disgusted with Carter by the end of his four years. I found him appallingly feckless, but you know something?

I know who appointed Volker in the first place, too.....

Oh, and one other thing.....

Reagan's prosperity was built upon deficit spending, just like every liberal president before him going back to FDR.

"Conservative" my backside!

Pfft!

Gore won legally last time and SHOULD HAVE BEEN President. The world would have been better and the US where is should be - STRONG, RESPECTED AND LEADING THE FUTURE. All I can say is we lost the best then. I HOPE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT GORE RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!

Spewing hate. That's what the hard right base are best at right now. Rather worry about a president for THE SEVENTIES, than the chump we have right now. Sad, sad, sad...

Good lord, are there really people who think Carter is a worse president than Bush? Sure, Carter didnt grab the reins in the way that he should have, but he is a decent, caring, intelligent man.

Bush, on the other hand, is a catastrophe in every sphere. The painful consequences of his decisions on war, energy and inaction on climate change will reverberate for decades.

I dont know if Gore would be allowed to make the changes necessary if he were president. But i'm doubtful anyone will. People, open your eyes. If even a quarter of the possible effects of climate change and "peak oil" materialize, we are in big, big trouble.

Al Gore please Run.........We need you. I will VOTE FOR YOU! and only you. I will not even show up for anyone else.

Sheesh- what better way to lower a candidates chances to win- have Jimmy Carter endorse them. That loses him potential votes right there.

Michael Richter, do you seriously think the cold war would ahve ever ended unded the likes of Carter? Face it, contrary to what all the liberals said, Reagan did not bring us to nuclear war but rather eded the cold war due to America's superior strength that USSR simply could not match. It was a very prudent policy that clearly paid off. We are far better off withthe likes of Ronnie than all the Jimmys of the world!

How about Rumsfeld and Cheney? These same fools that were shaking Saddams hand 20 years ago and the same fools that have authored our pains in the middle east for the last 40 years.

Al's the best qualified human to run this country and Jimmy's got it right.

These are inspiring words of wisdom from our nation's only President to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Look for Bill or Al to be next.

Run Al Run!
Carter/Clinton are loved globally.
GWB polls worse than Saddam.

Run Al RUN!

Carter was not great but he is GREAT. Listen to him AL. Listen to AMERICA'S calling. We need you. RUN ALL RUN!

Carter was in infinitely better President than either of the Bushes or Reagan.

Al Gore would destroy any Republican they could throw at him.

""Carter? Face it, contrary to what all the liberals said, Reagan did not bring us to nuclear war but rather eded the cold war due to America's superior strength that USSR simply could not match.""

Misguided hero worship.

Reagan did not bring down the USSR.

What brought down the USSR was an
unpopular war of occupation and the
expense and internal conflict
resulting from the war.

Sound familiar?

Carter's legacy was destroyed by traitorous maneuvers by Regan. Ronald set up a deal with the hostage takers that delayed their release until he came in to power. In addition, Carter has done more with own two hands post-presidency, than Bush has ever done.

Who's side should we believe re: global warming? Scientists, and their science, or Oil coporations and their profits?

Carter builds houses...he doesn't bomb them. Idiots abound.

GOD BLESS JIMMY CARTER!!

If we only listened to him back in '77.

Jimmy Carter delivered this televised speech on April 18, 1977.

Tonight I want to have an unpleasant talk with you about a problem unprecedented in our history. With the exception of preventing war, this is the greatest challenge our country will face during our lifetimes. The energy crisis has not yet overwhelmed us, but it will if we do not act quickly.

It is a problem we will not solve in the next few years, and it is likely to get progressively worse through the rest of this century.

We must not be selfish or timid if we hope to have a decent world for our children and grandchildren.

We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now, we can control our future instead of letting the future control us.....

The citizens who insist on driving large, unnecessarily powerful cars must expect to pay more for that luxury.
We can be sure that all the special interest groups in the country will attack the part of this plan that affects them directly. They will say that sacrifice is fine, as long as other people do it, but that their sacrifice is unreasonable, or unfair, or harmful to the country. If they succeed, then the burden on the ordinary citizen, who is not organized into an interest group, would be crushing.

There should be only one test for this program: whether it will help our country.

Other generation of Americans have faced and mastered great challenges. I have faith that meeting this challenge will make our own lives even richer. If you will join me so that we can work together with patriotism and courage, we will again prove that our great nation can lead the world into an age of peace, independence and freedom.

While Carter builds houses for the poor and Al Gore, tirelessly. tries to save the world's environment, the Shrub and Darth Vader are busy destroying the middle class, our military, America's good name and driving us into the worst finacial crisis in the nation's history. The scum currently inhabiting the White House doesn't give a crap about the American people unless they're in the top 1% of income.

Okay... I am to young to know anything about the policies of Jimmy Carter. But one thing I do know is, the worst President ever is in office now. #2, Al is waiting his turn. He has said that he is just not at the point in his life right now to be President. Maybe not, but has anyone thought about him being Vice President again. Right now Hillary Rodham Clinton is the best candidate in the race. I think that it is time for another Clinton-Gore administration (with Hillary as President) and let him come back to claim the office he truly won in 2000, when Hillary has finished her second term.

Mr. Carter is indeed a respected statesman and America should be proud to count him as an ex-president. His presedency was tarnished because of the CIA orchestrated Iran hostage crisis. This was done to because Mr. Carter rightfully fired Senior Bush as head of CIA immediately after taking office. Bush called in favors he had built up over the years in the CIA and middle east to create the hostage crisis and increase the price of his filthy oil, his main business. He then promised Reagan that he could solve the problem if he was nominated vice president, hence the Iran contra and arms for hostage. Bush Sr also intentinally sabotaged another democratic president, Bill Clinton. George sent troups into Somalia the November after loosing to Bill for no good reason and we all know what happened. Mr. Carter tried to break the hold that Corporation had on our government and he became the loneliest president as a result. Thank you for caring about the citizens of America and the world Mr. President and your valiant service in the military. Please run for President Mr. Gore, your country need you.

Clearly Gore is the man of the hour.
He pegged both Iraq wars, he truely understands technology and Science. His speeches since 2000 have been spot on - outshing any other potential leader - plus he has stacks of experience - while being one of the few politicians with a relatively clean and honest track record.

The supposed negatives are either grossly distorted or vacuuous.

The negatives on all other contenders from both parties are very significant and troubling.

Carter was probably the smartest man to ever occupy the White House. It's a shame he didn't do very well - although he's a long way from having been our worst president: an 'honor' reserved for our current president, without question. But while Carter didn't do the best job when he was in the middle of it all; he's done much better as a good man, now that he stands outside looking in.

And he's right - Gore should run. There isn't a better man or woman in either party - a better human being - who is within spitting distance of the presidency. I believe that Al Gore is a genuinely good man: the fire he's endured has tempered and improved the man he was in 2000 - and he was the best choice then. Now, he is the stuff of legend.

If Gore runs, I'll carry his coffee and make his cold calls. There isn't anyone else in either party I'll work for. Nobody else worth caring about. Nobody really worth a damn: just politicians, all of them.

Gore/anyone in '08.

JF

If Al Gore throws his hat in the ring, he will win the presidency.
What sweet vindication.
Gore-OBama in '08

That would surely get Hillary out of the picture. Fine with me. She is stubborn,oportunistic, and arrogant.

I will ignore the stupid comments made about Carter here.

Yes. Run Al, run. Run far, far away and take your global warming hysteria with you.

Many previous politicians tend to support or encourage support of other people with same or similar values as their own. I am not surprised that Carter would support and encourages Gore to run again. In a way Gore is like Carter. And Carter is like Gore. The big question is, does the country want to have Gore as President? If so, and Gore decides to run, will he be a carbon copy of Carter? If I were everyone else, I would think long and hard about this. Some of the things Carter had done when he was President, we are still paying for it today. Think about it.

Lots of absurd comments here mixed with some real insights.

Carter was a great President in a very bad historical time.

The fall of the Shah was not the result of actions by the Carter White House. The Shah's rule was never legitimate. He overthrew an elected government and consolidated his dictatorial rule (with CIA support) in the Eisenhower era and his regime fell apart during the Nixon and Ford eras. America should never helped him seize power or been allied with his dictatorship. We are still paying for this foreign policy mistake and may never again have truly good relations with Iran.

The inflation crisis was the result of OPEC policies as they rippled thru the economy after the embargoes. The set-up for that situation developed over decades of oil industry actions and American foreign policy decisions. The worst development resulting from the inflation crisis was the collapse of usury laws concerning banking, credit cards, etc. We still need to go back to usury regulation for lending.

Gore would be a great President but like Carter I think he will not run in 2008. I am personally supporting Edwards although all the Democratic candidates are far superior to any of the likely Republican candidates.

Those denying global warming are fools or are making money from destroying the ecosystem of the planet. The economic costs of global warming will likely destroy the entire global economy. This is the greatest threat ever faced by modern man.... period!

Mr. gore violated his oath of office when he refused to authorize vote fraud in Florida, which gave us Bush and the subsequent wars. What reason would prompt a man who spent millions to become president, and then abdicate after he had won, by refusing to fight the Bush machine? Something fishy there, almost as if he knew disaster was imminent, and didn't want to be on watch when it happened. Gore was always a reluctant politician, one got the sense he was a senator only because of his father. We need a strong leader who is not a sociopath like Bush/Cheney, and a leader who understands that more political games such as are being played by the current crop of pols will destroy the nation...

There´s no way Carter was a worse president than Bush number 2 has been. First off, many blame Carter for the economic woes of that time. Presidents have very little control over the economy. Second, Global Warming is real. If some people think calling Gore an envirnonmental activist is a bad thing, then call me the same thing. We need an inhabitable Earth dummies before any of that other material stuff like big homes and SUV´s matter.

Its so funny to see the comments of vile hatred at the beginning of these comments and realize that they are from professional Republican Party hacks that are paid to cruise the comments sections and mislead on facts. Carter was hardly the worse President, George Bush 41 & 43 have that award hands down and will probably hold that title for the rest of our lives. AL Gore should've been our President and I pray he runs again.

It's a riot to read the posts of the many trolls heaping their rotting refuse on Jimmy Carter, when we have the WORST PREZNUT IN HISTORY ruling this once great nation.
Calling Jimmy names does NOT distract from the sad tragic facts surrounding the current FAILURE IN CHIEF!

President Carter's endorsement of the man who received the most votes for President in 2000 is consistent with Carter's principled position on world issues and his refusal to accept the status quo in American politics --- ie. special interest corporate money decides elections.

Those who have attacked President Carter in this thread have the same analytical ability as those who support the current President who will undoubtedly go down in history as our worst President ever. It is appears that finally the American people have seen through the smokescreens, apin and personal attacks to view this administration as the most incompetent and corrupt in our lifetimes. Those who attack Carter and Gore in the comments above are among the 32% of the population who continue to support George w. Bush without regard to reality seen clearly now by the majority of our citizens. If they want to see real losers --- look in the mirror.

Two biggest loosers in American history of politics..Carter - Gore
Both of which to out to be also major liars to push their own needs..Making money ..Clearly a low chapter in history..Never in history has an X President talk about the standing President during war time as Carter has done against Bush.He should be tried as a Traitor

I could only get through the first few comments - I hope it gets more intelligent and less angry. I guess this is why I don't watch ABC News.

Stephen Crockett, thanks for that insightful reminder of the historical setup for Carter's administration. I wish more people would take a longer term view of our history and the implied patience it takes. Unfortunately, we are a nation of the sound bite and quick gratification and the instant poll. A.D.S. in the large.

It's (almost) amusing to see people blame Carter of all people for perceived troubles today when Bush and co. are ignoring any of the priorities that a great nation should be paying attention to (energy independence, health care, loss of the middle class, ...) and ensuring that we will be in the bottom of the economic pile in the next 20 years due to their bankrupting of our nation through the trillions that will ultimately be spent on this so-called "war on terrorism" and the selling of our assets to the countries of the Far East.

There's going to be a lot of nostalgia for the Carter years by the time the Bush Dynasty is through with us.

This dialogue is good for us all. It's embarrassing, sometimes, because we blurt our passions, but here they are in black and white. Even the haters are probably reading the other comments. Dialogue and education erode the full metal jacket, and the best dialogue is among those who disagree, but listen. That's the whole American experiment.

What if Mr. Gore agreed to run in an Obama/Gore ticket? I think he has the humility to do that, and Mr. Cheney has assigned unprecedented power to the VP office. VP Gore could use that power to continue to make the environment his primary cause. He would also lend wisdom to Obama's youth and vigor.

Go Gore!! I at least think that you are mostly honest and do care about America.

Look folks, no president is perfect...a few like Nixon are really bad and simply criminal; some are basically good people, but lack sack, like Carter; the seemingly-innocent, but somewhat brain-dead, Ford pardoned Nixon and thus kept to his secret deal so he could be vp & president; Reagan was a senile old man who was really dumb and had incredibly stupid policies, Pappa Bush, son of a Nazi sympathyzer, was controlled by "big oil" and Saudi princes, Clinton, a so-called liberal who brought in NAFTA and couldn't keep his pecker out of a two-bit whore's mouth, and finally, the most corrupt, criminal and stupid of them all, George Bush with his illegal pre-emptive war and hatred for American freedoms. I say cut off all their heads!! We need 100% public financing of elections. The people need to take back America from the corrupt politicians, lobbyists and their criminal backers, corporations. Viva la revolucíon!

Wasn't Carter the one who warned us about enrgy shortages and too much dependence on foreign oil? Obviously ahead of his time, since most people preffered the feel-good ignorance of Reagan.
But it's obvious now that Carter does more good every year than Bonzo did in his entire phony existance.

Hmm, let's see the Democratic field continues to bloody each other at the start of the nation's longest campaign for president unwittingly engaging in a policy of mutual assured destruction. Then an untarnished white knight with universal name recognition and sky high approval ratings comes in and takes the trophy. Make sure to watch Al Gore at the Oscars on Sunday night...

Anyone who categorically denies global warming is a sad pathetic fool. Just think, you are disagreeing with virtually every scientist on the planet. Oh yes; you know better than they do because it is nothing more than a liberal conspiracy. The right wing in this country is truly astounding. Stop politicizing global warming and say something intellegent for once in your life

I wish Al Gore would run. He is a thoughtful, intellegent person. This is in stark contrast to the simpleton warmonger we currently have. I think Obama or Edwards would also be fine. Not Hillary Clinton please; she is an opportunist.

You idealogues need to back up and attempt to view reality without tainting it with your perceived desired world. President Carter destroyed the US military and the CIA. He also enabled third world "liberation" movements which never actually liberate unless you believe in the dictatorship of the proletariat. As for Vice President Gore, what do you believe contribute more to global warming, inbred rednecks driving their pickups, soccer moms in their SUV's, or could the world doubling it's human population in the next 20 years, or perhaps 30% of the rainforest being cut down ever 10 years, or lastly the Red Chinese pouring out an ever increasing amount of pollution while the US shuts down their environmentally sound heavy industry? Think about it! The far left and the RINO republicans share the same goal of knocking down this great country so we'll be ready to join the New World Order, one world government, or whatever you whant to call it.

President Carter needs to lie low and enjoy the rest fo his life. He tried to be a good President but it turned out to be a miserable 4 years. He's done some good things since leaving office but recently has opened his mouth and said the wrong things. He needs to stay out of the political arena...his choices and decisions in politics are terrible! Al Gore, No way...I'd vote for Al Sharpton before I'd vote for Gore and trust me...I'd never vote for that idiot. VP Gore is a mean spirited man who has his own agenda for life and that is to appeal to people's fears and tell them the world is going to burn up. The only way the world will burn up is if Jesus Christ himself makes it. Gore's a loser!

Ah yes, "the only way.. is if JC himself makes it!" sez the Flat-Earth society. Wow. We don't believe in that there sci-e-ence kerfluffle. It must be more comfortable for some to keep one's head buried in the sand, but there's an obvious and marked lack of oxygen to one's brain in that circumstance, as clearly shown.

Amazing to me to see people say Gore is "mean-spirited" when the guy's about to win an Oscar and Nobel Peace Prize for his work to help us all, simply amazing. Pray tell, how many of the current administration miscreants were even considered for such honors, as a comparison? Mmmmm nope, I'd say we're seeing true "mean-spirited" people shown to us during the Libby trial.

More solid proof, in addition to shockingly ignorant Carter information posted here by others, that people believe what they WANT to believe, facts be damned.

There have been many worst presidents in History. What about Hoover for instance? or Dubya? or Buchanan? All Presidents in the last 150 years and all left/leaving a dreaful legacy. Lets just hope there is an FDR or a Lincoln somewhere, and as I see it only Gore or Obama come anywhere near it right now, of the possible candidates.

Worse President in history? Thats not a nice thing to say about Jimmy Carter. Say what you'd like, but Carter did not drag our country into unnecessary wars, wasting hundreds of billions of American dollars. Carter did not drag us into an unnecessary war, costing the lives of three thousand + soliders, not to mentions tens of thousands of American casualties. Carter did not create a civil war in the second largest oil provider in the world. Carter did not provide tax breaks for the wealthy while the middle class continued to shrink. So be careful on who you all label the "worse president" and what not - anything said negatively about Carter must be amplified exponentially in a discussion on G.W. Bush.
