He was his brother's keeper? Does that count?

He writ sum buks, 'member?

A brain-dead ex-PotUS, one cold winter day,
Decided he had something vital to say.

His plan was to make a big splash and impress.
His facts were all wrong, but he wrote nonetheless.

He set it all down with no close second look
To see if he’d plagiarized somebody’s book.

And then he announced, as if he really knew,
How to end all the problems ‘twixt Arab and Jew.

His grand sage advice then began to be heard,
But it stunk up the place like a broccoli turd.

The problem, of course, is that his brain has gone dead,
And he acts like that rabbit’s still loose in his head.

He just can’t quite grasp how the Middle East works,
And he thinks he can deal with those Hizb’allah jerks.

It’s a flaw in our system that sets up his status,
To give Iran time to point nuke missiles at us.

People listen because he once was our head man
So he ought to know how to develop a plan.

He honestly thinks that he knows how to reason
But has no idea that he’s damned close to treason.

“Let’s all just sit down like most good Christians do
and explain to the Imams what they ought to do.

“We’ll show them that killing and fighting and such
don’t really solve things or accomplish too much.

“Let’s put a tight rein on the Israeli force
since they are the ones that have made things get worse.

“And get all our troops off Islam’s holy soil
and cut back on our use of their expensive oil.

“As for Palestine I say the answer is clear:
just make all the Jews get the heck out of here.

“It’s really so simple, and I just can’t see why
we can’t make it work if we only would try.”

Thanks, Jimmy, for that piece of pie in the sky.
You’d be quite the apple in Chamberlain’s eye.

Why can’t you be quiet, or just go away.
No one wants to hear anything you have to say.

And just for the record, your terrorist friends?
They want us all DEAD! That’s what Islam intends.

Fuck a peanut Carter.

What about when he...., never mind, that was Reagan.
But there is the time that he... never mind, that was Reagan to. Don't forget that he initiated... nope, that wasn't Carter.
Guess he really is a piss poor excuse for President.
God, I miss his gas lines and Ted Koppel's following Carters progress with Iran and the hostages.

My dad, RIP, voted for him twice. said history would treat him better then Reagan. Bet dad would like a mulligan there.

Here ya go, dude

This is a good summation of Mr. Peanut's presidency.

Gee Greg ya beat me to it. You win!

All Jimmah ever presented to the people was a smile. No ideas or any projections of ideas but a great smile. Reminds me of another Dhimmi running for president.

From a liberals point of view, the greatest thing he did was gut the U.S. military.
He also greatly expanded the role of government sponsored welfare.

These are monumental achievments to liberals. Unfortunately for liberals, they are incapable of ever seeing the Big picture.
They have narrow minds and narrow points of view.

They equate military spending cuts with with surplus cash infusions for their pet projects.

The Iranian revolt, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, The PLO, Oil Embargo(s) and the sudden explosive turmoil in the Middle East, liberals saw only as proof of America's evil.
The thought never even entered their minds that had America maintained a strong military presence in those regions, the Islamofacists might not have been so bold.
It's not only that they hate America, they just Can-Not think beyond their own narrow views.

Jimmy Carter DID do a very heroic thing, but it was when he was in the Navy, not as President.

Carter was one of a few of Hymie Rickover's wonderboys in the early days of nuclear powered submarines.
Admiral Rickover was tasked with creating a nuclear submarine force for the U.S. Navy and was given carte blanche by the government to the point that he was the undisputed Master of the program, not even sitting Presidents would over rule his decisions.
In the early days, Lt.Cdr. Carter was one of a very few people who were nuclear reactor scientists/specialists.
One day a reactor on a submarine suffered a casscading failure which caused a huge radiation leak with an imminent meltdown if something weren't done to fix it immediatly.
Carter was the only person who knew nuclear reactors and nuclear submarines (they were both in their infancy) well enough to repair the damage.
They flew him in and assembled a team, which he lead, and Lt.Cdr. Carter and his team went into the reactor and repaired the damage, thus avoiding a disastorous meltdown situation.
Since the radiation exposure was far above the fatal limit, and since radiation and nuclear energy was (at that time) mostly a mystery, the mission was considered by all to be a suicide mission.
He should have died from radiation exposure, but he didn't.
I believe he got the Navy Cross for that.

And although I think he was the worst President ever, I also had absolutely no problem at all when the Navy commisioned the USS Jimmy Carter.

If it weren't for Carters one heroic and redeeming act at that time, it's quite possible that nuclear submarines might never have been developed.
That incident was kept secret for a long time, so imagine what the public outcry would have been had the reactor gone into a critical meltdown and exposed millions of people.

I, personally, have Jimmah to thank for convincing me as a teenager (who was smart enough at that age, to figure out he was inviting disaster with price controls and rationing on gas... The lame hostage rescue attempt and the "Killer Rabbit" incident was just icing on the cake) that the Republicans were the closest thing to a sane alternative to what I've witnessed in the Democratic Party ever since...

I don't know where one joatmoat got his info about Carter but he was not a Lt. Cmdr. He was a Lt. as I have just read. He was only in the navy for 7 years so very unlikely a Lt. Cmdr. As far as his bravery in the Navy, I find that hard to believe as it seems that he spent most of his time on shore. Maybe I'm wrong, so prove me wrong. Enlighten me.

Lemme see now: JIMMAH CAHTUH: A Study in Spineless Indecision and Ignorance in Positions of Prominence.

Because of gross oversight and clerical error, he was admitted to the US Naval Academy despite its policy against enrolling feeble-minded jerkoffs. Through continuing administrative malfeasance, he took a BS degree and commenced his personal crusade to transform the United States into a weak, socialist, third-rate paper tiger.

He followed up his BS degree with work in nuclear physics and engineering, which prepared him marvelously for dealing with lying, posturing, double-dealing, US-hating, Middle Eastern terrorists. His first book, Why Not The Best? looks into the reasons he failed so miserably and consistently as president. He pushed legislation which would protect various animals already doomed by nature and cause thousands of people their jobs. He promoted quotas for minorities in governmental jobs and college admissions, and sacrificed American prestige and hostages for a shot at the Nobel Peace Prize. He was key in abandoning the country’s claim on the Panama Canal, and spent most of his energies meddling in the internal affairs of other nations by criticizing their human rights policies. A poor farm boy from rural Georgia, he rose to the pinnacle of Worst President in the 20th century, all by himself, and is damned proud of it.

Had he not been born in a rural area of America, he would have been a perennial favorite for Monty Python’s “Upper-Class Twit of the Year” award. His mother apparently was not present at his birth, and he has gone through his adult life as an antique, expired consciousness completely unworthy of resuscitation. My secret suspicion is that he is some sort of Neanderthal cross with a jackass.

Jimmy Carter actually believes that Bill Clinton was a great president who never should have been impeached. In fact, Carter remains convinced that Clinton never lied, since his understanding of oral sex is just talking dirty. This assessment of a serious issue parallels his understanding of terrorism, where he believes our position in Iraq is 4th and 20 in the 9th with two in the penalty box and minus two points for hitting low. It’s entirely possible that the bones in his head never stopped calcifying when the rest of his body reached adulthood.

This animated wad of intellectually anemic protoplasm has a credibility rating about like professional wrestling. As a negotiator he is about as clever as Larry, Shemp, and Moe. Damn, I can feel my BP soaring just thinking about the walking advertisement for birth control. In fact, I’m just wasting my time here, ‘cause his mother summed it all up very nicely:

“Sometimes when I look at all my children, I say to myself, ‘Lillian, you should have stayed a virgin.’"
Lillian Carter

I wish I’d made that up, but I didn’t – she actually said it. The prosecution rests.

gene - I too wonder about joatmoat story. This is from Wikipedia:

Upon the death of his father in July 1953, however, Lieutenant Carter immediately resigned his commission and was discharged from the Navy on October 9, 1953. This cut short his nuclear power training school, and he was never able to command a nuclear submarine, as the first of the fleet was launched January 17, 1955, over a year after his discharge from the Navy.

Googling did not turn up any nuclear heroics for Carter. However, I might expect his Wikipedia to contain such shortly (if you know what I mean)

eros total-
Nicely written! I especially liked this one:

I'm afraid this is about as close as you'll get to what happened. Notice the words "Seawolf" and "sodium cooled". Those are the only words on the page related to the event. Take it any way you want to.
An el-tee instead of lt.cdr., my bad.
He did have a moment at one time.

Joatmoaf - Thanks for the link, but still no mention of nuclear heroics for Carter. How did you learn of this secret incident?

He protected America from killer rabbits.

what about his newclear sub he has named afterhim.

WTF! Jimmah a Hero????

Saved a Nuclear Sub, The nuclear Sub program & the United States from a catastrophic meltdown........sounds more like something you would read at Daily Kos or a daydream Jimmah was having at the White House while waiting to find out if the Helicopters made it to Tehran.

Were this story true ...The dimocrats would be trumpeting it to the high heavens so as to place Jimmah at a higher level then Ronald Reagan. So using common sense ,the story is obvious BS. Considering the statement this was a huge secret.....if he recieved the Navy Cross for this , no one would ever know! Also,you would think at least the story would have his correct rank, at least they had him in the correct navy.

If someone want`s to establish a proper legacy for this inept treacherous bastard....put his likeness on Urinal cakes & paint them yellow so people can shower Jimmah with proper respect.

The urinal mints are taken by Jane Fonda...

Looks like from reading the comments on the last few posts we have us a new troll. Oh boy! Another brainwashed brain-dead liberal sycophant to argue with!

Dittos to Dudley. Plus, the Navy Cross is only awarded for actions during armed conflict with an enemy. Were Carter's actions true the libs would trumpet this as routinely as Kerry's 3 Purple Hearts.

A good rule of thumb is that if Jimmy Carter is opposed to what you are going, you must be on the right path...

Well, I never "read" it in any paper or saw any news reports of it, but I did read an account of it about 8 years ago.
It was a U.S. Navy summary of the incident, it was classified but NOT an Official Report.
About 6 years ago I read an even more summarized version in one of Paul Harvey's books and assumed, correctly or not, that it had been de-classified.

Personally, I never liked Carter. I was in the Navy when Mr. Peanut was President and became quite familiar with the struggles the military had to deal with at that time.
The military had to deal with the Vietnam stand down and new orginizational and personell standards the were being put in place.
With the draft gone the Navy set higher standards for new recruits and retention.
It also became far less lax when it came to disciplinary proceedings.
This caused a huge, confusing turnaround in personell. More were leaving than were joining and one of the main recruitment incentives was Bonus money.
In the middle of all that Mr. Peanut decided to cut the military off at the knees so our government could persue more "Noble" endeavors with the money.
Endeavors like allowing full grown, healthy men to apply for and recieve monthly government stipends to the tune of approximately $400 a month, with full medical benifits and food stamps I might add, for being unfortunate enough to contract the vile "disease" of alcoholism.

Be that as it may, I actually did read the summary, and it was a genuine U.S. Navy document.
I choose to believe what the account states had transpired and by that criteria I'm going to give him his due respect in that matter, regardless of whether I like him or not.

For a good background on the beginnings on US Navy nuclear power look up Hyman Rickover. In my opinion the smartest man I ever met in the nav.

vetfromhell........

Back in the late 60`s early 70`s, I was a level III QC test examiner for a company who produced valve components for cooling systems of a Sub`s nuclear reactor. While getting re-certified at a Nuclear lab for active test examiner status, Rickover was touring the facility. I did not get to meet him personally but I discussed my training/testing duties with one of the Navy personel who acompanied him, in conversation I stated it would be nice to be able to take a voyage on a Nuclear Sub to see in action how they performed . He smiled & told me they appreciate the work civilians do to maintain the quality of the materials which go into the subs their people use but unless I were to join the Navy & qualify for Submarine duty I would never leave port on a Nuclear Sub. Kind of a nice way to say ..."You must be joking" Oh well it was a thought!

How come no one remembered that he gave away the Panama Canal? Nice fuckin' move, asshole. Give away one of the most important sea routes in the world to a dictator (Torrijos)because it just wasn't right. You know who runs it now? The Chinese. That's right. Look it up.
