Even with all the misquotes and gaffes being given - the main topic of this thread was that President Jimmy Carter was being touted as the worst President and that Obama was making him look good.

Once again, look at George W. Bush's approval rating when he left office. It was 22%. Jimmy Carter had a 45% approval rating when he left office. The conclusion is simple (as is George W. Bush) - George W. Bush was the worst President in US history.

'Nuff said - case closed.

Hate to upset you with FACTS, but according to Gallup....Bush had an approval rating of 34%, and Carter had an approval rating of 34% also.

It should also be noted that Harry Truman was in the low 30's when he left office but is not now considered a bad president.

Time will tell...it always does. So, for me the "case" is not closed for years unless you are simply a party person and it suits your need. I am for sure, anti Obama, but NEVER would make the kind of comparisons being made here.

I agree. Usually, a person's performance is rated alot different once history has had time to judge. Over 30 years have passed since Carter left office, and he is still rated the worst President in history, barring known.

Obama knows he's slipping bad and that's why he's out on his taxpayer paid $1.1 Million Dollar "Magical Misery Tour" bus tour to all the parts of the country where he is losing his support. I can't say more than that or all you liberals will say I have a racist streak, so I'll let the politicians and pundits say it. Everyone can add it up for themselves.

RICHIE....I am about as anti Obama as anyone...been touting his weakness since before he was the candidate, and then he appeared not to have a chance against Secy Clinton...he got the nod and won the election. Remember there are a lot of hard core voters who because of many issues will vote for him NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS OR WHAT HE DOES.

Those groups are very large and will be bussed to polling places, etc. In order for anyone to defeat the current President...

1. The Republican party has to be very careful not to shoot themselves in the foot. Those in that party who have divergent views better use their head and realize that a NON VOTE...or any kind of inside bickering they will get 4 more years.

2. There has to be a turnout. 2008 reminded us of what happens when we are not happy with either candidate. As I said, there are votes he has in his pocket no matter what he does or says.

3. He has a ton of money, and while I think he is a failure as a President, he is not a failure as a campaigner (fact is he has been doing that since the inaugration)

Bottom line is NO MATTER if the unemployment is high...NO MATTER what is happening, there must be togetherness and attendance on election day.

At this point, no matter how the lame stream media tries to spin it, he's in deep doo-doo; in my opinion, of course.
But, maybe the movie being made (free campaign video) of Rambo Obama jumping the fortress walls and beating Bin Laden in brutal hand to hand combat and then holding his severed head up so the Qaeda loyalists are demoralized, will give his campaign a boost when it's released in Oct. 2012

It'll probably look similar to this.

Richie, have the waitress pour you another bar brand bourbon while you re-check your facts.

The President does not have a $1.1 million bus tour. The $1.1 million is the cost of the bus. Top secret stuff on it.

However, do not get your conservative feathers ruffled about this. There is a second identical bus that will be for the use of the Republican candidate - and they also get Secret Service protection - the same as the President.:eek:

The picture is from Clash of the Titans and is Harry Hamlin? Dang, another synapse just sparked on that one.

:22yikes: lol...thanks Lion
