So apparently Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy were big rivals. That’s the sort of conflict where you hope sides would lose. And they are both losers, so yay.
I always wondered why we didn’t get government health care back in the pre-Reagan Revolution days when giant new social programs were devastating the country, and I guess it was because of infighting. Carter tried to do a big health care program similar to Obamacare, but Kennedy blocked it because he didn’t want Carter to have a major success. So Kennedy was more concerned with himself and personal grudges than liberal legislation he thought would help the country? Who would have thought that — other than everyone other than brain-dead liberals, I mean?
Now, we have Obama ruining things because he wants some big legislation accomplishment. This obviously wasn’t the time for a health care bill, but what it was time for was some pretty subtle legislation to help the economy that probably wouldn’t have played well in the history books. The best president would be somebody who wouldn’t care if he was immediately forgot the day he left office, but people like that don’t run for office in the first place.
Oh, and bloated, entitled sociopaths who drown women and run away from the scene of the crime also don’t make good politicians.
I’m incline to believe anything “bad” about about Teddy (but killing a big health care bill would be something good) – but I don’t believe anything that Jimmy says – ever. Tough call here.
If Soros wants a healthcare bill, Obama gives him a healthcare bill…or else.
Cat fight!
Then the rabbit attacked and Billy Beer became like super cool and then interest rates went to 20% and then Jimmy wore a stupid sweater and came on TV and told us all it was our fault… And then Ronaldo Magnus kicked Jimmy in the stones and took every state except DC and MN…hangs head in shame…
the drunk killer-rapist versus the pot head child molester (check out Habitat for Humanity and the “hotels” at Banghkok airport). Psychopath vs. psychopath. Shooting down their dreams over ego. Gotta love it.
@storm Carter probably wants to molest older men and women but in fairness they ,unlike children, are even tougher then a wild rabbit.
Storm1911, Do you have any links for that? News to me… Interesting news…
Carter vs. Kennedy is just like the Iran/Iraq war…who cares who wins just as long as they keep killing each other. Of course in this case one IS dead, and the other is brain dead. However, it seems Kennedy saved us from Obama care for at least thirty years (I guess it would have been called Carter Care back then) so I say lets dig him up and give him a ticker tape parade.
Good gosh, bring up Jimmah and Teddy and there is too much meat to do them proper justice. I liked this line from his spiel (emphasis according to Burmashave):
“He did not want to see me have a major success in that realm of life…”
It’s all about me, Jimmah, isn’t it? That’d be why when you visit the residence for retired Presidents, you always remove pictures of Republican Presidents and replace them with your own. Bitter doesn’t exactly describe it, does it?
Never was a president who was more charlatan than you. Those suitcases you carried through the airport were empty, weren’t they? And those 7:00 AM arrivals at work were followed by a comfy nap, no? Yet, we wonder how a “dry” White House could produce Bloody Mary’s for consumption before church.
Now that rat stinker Ted Kennedy is dead. You’re pretty much knocking on death’s door yourself. There’s not much time to steal Teddy’s mantle, not to mention claim part of Obama’s 40% approval rating as rightfully yours.

Teddy is just a (big fat) red herring. Carter is really just pi$$ed that the Bamster broked his record of Worst President Ever. So he is just adding to his cred as Worst Ex-President Ever. Something tells me that Obama will be able to break that record too, prolly before midnight on January 22, 2012. “I coulda taken over the Gardening & Model Train industries and planted chips in every one of those Lousy TeaBaggers if wasn’t for that Ugly Botoxed Brain-Dead Hag Pelosi” former President Obama tells Katie Couric in an exclusive CBS interview just minutes after the swearing in of President Cheney.
Well now be fair, Frank: Teddy never ran away from the scene. In fact, I’m pretty sure he never ran anywhere. Now swam/waddled? Okay. Funny: I usually don’t appreciate trampling on a man’s grave but somehow with Teddy and the Mary Jo Kopechne thing it never seems like too much.
Do you think if we gave Carter something shiny (like a glittery mirror) to play with, he’d stay amused long enough to stop talking to the press?
Send Jimmah to Iran to negotiate for the release of those 2 remaining hikers/accused spies.
They should love him over there, he practically handed the country to the Ayatollahs.
Comment 4 is incorrect. Reagan only got 90.9% of the Electoral College votes in 1980. (LOL) The following states went to Carter: MD, MN, GA, RI, HI, and DC. In 1984 Reagan won them all but MN and DC. In order not to TOTALLY embarass Mondale, the Reagan campaign did not spend one dime campaigning in MN — Mondale’s home state.
As one who remembers that election in 1980, Carter blamed his loss on Kennedy. Because Ted K. challenged him in the primary, Carter believed that he was from that point onward the underdog in the race. He was wrong. There was much more to it than that. But that’s what he believes.
Anyone remember the slogan “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” To me, that was the moment Ronald Reagan took the lead.
Someone said on the radio that Jimmy Carter just reinforced the image he has of a bitter, nasty old coot. Seriously the guy called him an old coot. I laughed all the way home.
Carters like an old woman chewing on ancient offenses and old hurts to prove how wronged she’s been. I wonder if he’d like a little cheese with that whine?
