Why Does Jimmy Carter Hate America?

Mon, May 26, 2008 at 8:09:48 am PDT

This may be the lowest point of his disgraceful career of failure and appeasement: Carter urges ‘supine’ Europe to break with US over Gaza blockade.

Jimmy Carter is actively subverting the policies of his own country, and lending the legitimacy of a former president to a vicious, genocidal terrorist group.

Britain and other European governments should break from the US over the international embargo on Gaza, former US president Jimmy Carter told the Guardian yesterday. Carter, visiting the Welsh border town of Hay for the Guardian literary festival, described the EU’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian dispute as “supine” and its failure to criticise the Israeli blockade of Gaza as “embarrassing”.

Referring to the possibility of Europe breaking with the US in an interview with the Guardian, he said: “Why not? They’re not our vassals. They occupy an equal position with the US.”

The blockade on Hamas-ruled Gaza, imposed by the US, EU, UN and Russia - the so-called Quartet - after the organisation’s election victory in 2006, was “one of the greatest human rights crimes on Earth,” since it meant the “imprisonment of 1.6 million people, 1 million of whom are refugees”. “Most families in Gaza are eating only one meal per day. To see Europeans going along with this is embarrassing,” Carter said.

He called on the EU to reassess its stance if Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza. “Let the Europeans lift the embargo and say we will protect the rights of Palestinians in Gaza, and even send observers to Rafah gate [Gaza’s crossing into Egypt] to ensure the Palestinians don’t violate it.”

UPDATE at 5/26/08 10:09:00 am:

The worst president in history also blurted out that Israel has 150 nuclear weapons.

The concluding paragraphs deserve special mention:


Last night, before a packed crowd at Hay, Carter spoke of his "horror" at America's involvement in torturing prisoners, saying he wanted the next US president to promise never to do so again.

He left an intriguing hint that George Bush might even face prosecution on war crimes charges once he left office.

When pressed by Philippe Sands QC on Bush's recent admission that he had authorised interrogation procedures widely seen as amounting to torture, Carter replied that he was sure Bush would be able to live a peaceful, "productive life - in our country".

Sands, an international legal expert, said afterwards that he understood that to be "clear confirmation" that while Bush would face no challenge in his own country, "what happened outside the country was another matter entirely".

The infamous Playboy interview...gives us a look at moral equivalence that he still promotes:

Because I'm just human and I'm tempted and Christ set some almost impossible standards for us. The Bible says, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." Christ said, I tell you that anyone who looks on a woman with lust has in his heart already committed adultery. I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times.... This is something that God recognizes, that I will do and have done, and God forgives me for it. But that doesn't mean that I condemn someone who not only looks on a woman with lust but who leaves his wife and shacks up with somebody out of wedlock. Christ says, don't consider yourself better than someone else because one guy screws a whole bunch of women while the other guy is loyal to his wife. The guy who's loyal to his wife ought not to be condescending or proud because of the relative degree of sinfulness.

Don't judge the be-header...his is truly no worse then the barber who cuts the hair on your head...

Jimmy Carter is actively subverting the policies of his own country, and lending the legitimacy of a former president to a vicious, genocidal terrorist group.

This worthless piece of carbon-based protoplasm needs to STFU. He is an idiot whose Mama apparently breast-fed him to the age of, say, ten. Years, that is. He is the worst of what a President can possibly be. I can tolerate even Bill to an extent, but I don't see him actively trying to send the US and/or Israel up the river. Carter figured he didn't have a chance to fu*k things up enough during his four-year reign of misery and foolishness, so he sees himself as avenging his loss to President Reagan in 1980 by undoing every good thing that has happened since January 21, 1981.

I really don't hate anybody, but "President" Carter fits the despicable description pretty aptly. Build a fuc*in' house and STFU, Jimmy. For the good of America! Oh, wait, you don't care about US, that's right.

He knows that when his time comes, America will not give him the same respectful and heartfelt accolades and true feelings of sorrow as what our nation gave every past President on their passing; especially Kennedy and Reagan. I certainly won't miss peanut-boy.

From the European Commission:

Taking the contributions of the European Communities and the EU Member States together, the EU provides more than half a billion euros to the Palestinians each year to promote stability, economic regeneration and reform, including support for staging elections. As the biggest donor to the Palestinians, the EU has the potential to make a significant contribution to the future establishment of a Palestinian State living in peace with Israel.

This may be the lowest point of his disgraceful career of failure and appeasement: Carter urges ‘supine’ Europe to break with US over Gaza blockade.

Jimmy Carter is actively subverting the policies of his own country, and lending the legitimacy of a former president to a vicious, genocidal terrorist group.

I know you Americans love a lot of your ex presidents, but you really need to get a grip of this geriatric twit.

We do? The only ones I would say are "loved" in any universal sense are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan.

After that, possibly Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, and Harry Truman are ones that are admired, but I wouldn't say loved.

John F. Kennedy is certainly loved by many for his good looks, pretty family, eloquence, inspirational qualities, intellect, and Camelot-esque legend, but others feel he didn't accomplish much except help bring the world to the brink of nuclear war.

I doubt many people think much one way or the other about the rest.

I don't know if more people despise Carter than Richard Nixon (who accomplished far more diplomatically than Carter can even dream of), but I would say those who hate Carter, hate him much, much more deeply than anyone hates Nixon.

"The United States must let Iran know that we want to give them fuel and everything they need for a non-military nuclear program. Twenty-five years ago we cut off trading with Iran. We've got to resume trading to show Iran we are friends."

Carter also criticized President George Bush, saying it was a "serious mistake and terrible departure" from the actions of previous US presidents not to engage with countries with which they differed.

Carter's never ending ability to twist and turn history on it's head in relation to Israel and the mideast should not come as a surprise anymore.

First off Al-Carter, the 'palis' located in the Gaza strip INCLUDING the refugees are a direct result of the Arab league's refusal to accept the UN partition plan and the '48 attack on the newly formed nation of Israel.

Futher, the continued isolation of Gaza is NOT the result of an 'Israeli' blockade but rather the result of the UN, Egypt and the rest of the Arab League countries unwillingness to assilimate those peoples in the period between 1948 and 1967.

Note that all of this occured BEFORE the 6 day war and BEFORE Israel took control of the strip. (Something Israel has ALWAYS been strongly against I might add)

Then, Israel pulls out of Gaza lock stock and barrel and in return, Hamas as done NOTHING but show it's contempt for innocent Israeli life by bombarding civilians with rockets and mortars, exploding truck bombs at the various crossings and continued attempts to smuggle bombs and weapons into Israel in order to kill even MORE innocent civilians.

In the meantime even the Egyptians won't open their borders to Hamas and Gaza. That alone speaks volumes doesn't it?

But Al-Carter points the finger at Israel.

Al-Carter is a complete and total disgrace as an ex-president, an American and as just a plain human being. He's insured that his legacy will be remembered as one of mendacity and selling himself to the hightest bidder.

A POX on him and his ilk!

re: #107 Opinionated

That article has a number of theological and factual errors in it. The conclusions reached by liberal theologians and Jimmy Carter may be accurate in terms of expressing their viewpoints, but other than that the article attempts to split Christianity into a binary division. It misses the orthodox (not greek orthodox, but scripturally orthodox) Christian interpretation that has no "problem" with the fact that Christ was a Jew -- that was a neccessary condition of prophecy. The fact that the Jews handed Christ over to be crucified also does not contribute to anti-semitism, it is simply an historical fact. This neither exonerates the jews of that time nor does it exonerate any of us, for the real reason Christ was crucified was because of the sins of all men, so in effect, all of us are responsible for Christ's death. Thus, no anti-semitism should be inferred by orthodox Christian teaching. Similarly, the rejection of the Christians by the jews after the resurrection is not call for anti-semitism, but simply an historical fact that led to the inclusion of large numbers of Gentiles in the ranks of Christianity. Even during the New Testament era, hatred for the jews was not preached, but rather concern that their rejection would lead to their condemnation -- not by men but by God.

That´s what makes Clinton unique and different from the other candidates - the ability to give Europe opportunities to break with the U.S. without actually having to defend itself, and the will to use that ability as a tool to influence U.S. foreign policy to increase her domestic share of power. None of the other candidates can do that, because in one way or another all of them lack any idea of such a special relationship to Europe as espressed by Carter.

I have to disagree with many of the lizards again. Jimmy Carter is not ignorant, senile, evil or even a Jew hater. He is a typical man of the left who is completely and utterly intoxicated by his virtue (David Horowitz's phrase). He thinks he is doing good in the world despite all evidence to the contrary.

And this is the point I was lamenting earlier on the post on Ted Kennedy's diagnosis. We all have to be careful when we become self-congratulatory (in that case about not bashing Kennedy) as it can be a symptom of this destructive affliction of the Left. If we hold a position because it makes us feel good about ourselves, rather than actually doing good in the world - we'll probably end up abetting evil. IMO, that is the best description of Jimmy Carter.

I haven't read the whole thread and this may have already been answered above, but the answer to the question "Why does Jimmy Carter hate America?" is:

Because the people of the United States voted his worthless butt out of office in 1980, and replaced him with someone who has become a legend.

One day, Jimmy suddenly begins farting out toxic clouds of mummy dust. Naturally, he is oblivious to the problem. Hilarity ensues as he travels the world, gassing and besmirching famous landmarks, choking celebrities, leaving chaos in his wake.

I am so sick and tired of people comparing Obama to Carter. It is very obvious that Carter is much more intelligent than Obama. Actually, I think Obama holds a worse position.

What is more disturbing than the former president of the US spouting this crap is the comments the moonbats are leaving that cheer him for those comments. Do I live in a country that is this blind, stupid, and/or bigoted?

180 descolada9  Mon, May 26, 2008 11:18:59am

At what point can we disown this man?

Seriously, he is now advocating treason.

Regardless of how much I disliked some of our previous Presidents such as LBJ and WJC, this guy is by far the worst.

His Presidency was unremarkable and non-descriptive. It, of course, withered before the brilliance of the Reagan Administration, but no one would regard him as anything but an incompetent boob.

Now, however, he is actively harming our nation.

This man needs to be taken aside and explained how an ex-President is supposed to react. WJC, at his worst, does not actively try to hurt our nation.

Carter is an embarrassment to the United States.

Jimmy Carter's activity is wonderful, simply put. He is a usable tool for the general election this year, which will determine the future of this country. Common sense Americans understand his pronouncements are nonsense, and the more he babbles the more it is a reflection on the democrats and Barry the Messiah.

Our national security cannot afford four years of a weak and inexperienced President Obama.

Sleepy John will not win the election based on his minimal interest in the economy. He will win based on the significant dangers we face from rogue states like Iran and terrorists. Plus a resurgent Russia and a China that will compete, both legally and illegally, with the U.S. for basic resources and advanced weapons technology.

The more you can say about Obama " a Carter-like world view and foreign policy" the better.

Keep talking Jimmah. More, more, more ! And please ENDORSE Obama!

re: #173 Western Chauvinist

Then why does Jimmy Carter ignore the ethnic cleansing of Jews from over a dozen Muslim nations?

Why is Jimmy insisting that we give nuclear fuel to the Iranians? Something tells me that even his Arab employers flinched when he said that publicly.

How is it that Jimmy Carter can look at the problems of the Middle East and blame it all on Israel and Israel alone?

Jimmy Carter "negotiated" with the exact same Iranian government for 444 days and got NOTHING. Now almost thirty years later Jimmy is demanding that we negotiate with the Iranians and their terrorist subordinates of HizbAllah and HAMAS again?

Older people remember how he screwed the country up as President Sweater-Malaise. Middle-aged people remember what an ineffectual jackass he was as President. And if he mouths off some more and supports Obama...

Right, Carter does what makes him feel good. And what makes him feel good is worrying about the only people oppressed by Jews, the people sworn on destraction of Israel?

If he is so compationate toward Gazan Arabs of all real and persived victims of oppression in the world, why he does not worry about Egyptian blocade of Gaza then? Gazan certainly are not declared enemies of Egypt.

Now, if you say Carter is not mentally incapacitated, what his single cause politics of the recent months make him?

Carter called the Soviet Union to complain about Reagan. Unbelievable. Cannot imagine what the Soviets thought of that. Certainly incredulous. "Hey, Gorby Comrade. You're not going to believe who's on the phone line ..."
It was all about HIM, never America. He burned so hot that the American people threw him out and voted in Reagan, he began sneaking around behind everyone's backs to get even. His obscene selfishness for the Noble Prize just reminded us all that he hasn't mellowed with age, but is as bitter as ever. What other person would accept an award prefaced with, "We awarded this to you in order to deliver a slap in the face to ..." ?
Correct reply, "Take your !**$?!@**! award and stick it where the sun don't shine!" Nooooo, instead we get Smeagle/Carter stroking it like Gollum, "My preciiiious!"

(*can we have a photoshop please?)


Carter blurting what he knows about Isreal - at least the info from the last time he was privy to top secret details? Unless he gets new feed from sitting members of Congress - the Dems that is. Does anyone doubt he's been ladling out everything he knows to our enemies? And Israel's enemies for years? Why else all the trips to foreign countries? He isn't a power player, he'll never hold elective office again. So why bother talking with him ? ... unless he has something useful to share.

I think there isn't much you and I would disagree on as regards the results of Jimmy Carters positions. I've simply become cautious about assessing someone's motives - especially after converting to conservatism and having all those with whom I disagree proclaim that what motivates conservatives is either stupidity or evil intentions. The most egregious example of this is the treatment of the wholly thoughtful and decent George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as the "Hitlers" of our age.

You seem to believe Carter hates the Jews and wishes their destruction. I think he prefers to side with the "underdog" (as this position increases his regard for himself) and is therefore unconscious and unrepentant about the results of his behavior. I would say exactly the same thing about Ted Kennedy and his role in the suffering of millions in S.E. Asia and millions of others around the world who suffered under communist regimes after America abandon the fight against communism in Vietnam.

205 jainphx  Mon, May 26, 2008 12:43:32pm

208 PloniAlmoni  Mon, May 26, 2008 1:14:56pm

Carter lost his mind a while ago. By the way, it has to be a crime to reveal confidential and classified security information about another country. If Carter learned that Israel has 150 nuclear weapons during his presidency, he can't just walk around saying it in public. How outrageous.

Check out this fantastically fair and balanced Q & A from the Carter Center:

Q: "Mr. President, I would like to ask you, there are many civil rights marches in Gaza every day. What is your feeling about the suffering Palestinian women who lose their sons every day?"

A: This is an interesting question: why do we not hear about the non-violent protests happening all the time in the occupied territories? We mostly read and hear about violence. Maybe if the rocket attacks would cease and the world community were more aware of the brave efforts of Palestinians to protest in a non-violent way, it would have more of an impact on world opinion.
For me, I cannot imagine the grief of a parent who has lost their child in this violence. I hope that, within my lifetime, we will see the day when no more children, Israeli or Palestinian, are buried by their parents as a result of this conflict.

209 eaglewingz08  Mon, May 26, 2008 1:15:42pm

The fun thing will be when Djimmah Car(bombersuppor)ter, endorses the Obamanation. Will the Obamanation reject Djimmah's support because of the anti semite anti american idiot who gave it. If he doesn't then it's fair game to tie the Obamanation to Djimmah, especially if he is given special seating at the dhimmi convention.

I wouldn't worry about Djimmah's stating that Israel has x number of nukes. In a way it's good, Iran has to know that it could be the recipient of a shower of nukes if they dare to attack Israel.
I think the number is much higher. Israel has had a nuke plant since the mid sixties. In forty years, just making a minimum of five bombs a year, the Israelis would have well over two hundred. If they made ten bombs a year, it would be four hundred. Djimmah's figure is based on Israel only making three bombs a year. That seems very low given Israel's security consciousness.

BTW, a man who as President watched members of our own Embassy be tortured and made a mockery of by the Islamofascist Dictatorship of Iran, while he did nothing, or worse than nothing for four hundred forty four days, has no moral authority to call anyone "SUPINE". If he had the least bit of insight he would know that if you look up the word supine in the dictionary, his picture comes with the definition, and that Iran is also in the photo, as the top with djimmah on the receiving end of this missionary position.

Carter has been out of the intelligence loop for over 20 years (well, his whole life, actually) and probably has no idea how many nukes the Israelis actually have, if he ever did. If he thinks they have 150, then there are probably another 150 or 300 that he doesn't know about and never will unless it becomes necessary for Israel to use them.

re: #232 Render

Wow, Render. I'm not sure how we got off to such a bad start. I think we agree totally that the fruits of Carter's labors in the Middle East are rotten to the core*. We seem to disagree on what motivates him. Is there something I've missed? (I only count one other response to my original comment (#193) and confess ignorance on how to reply to two simultaneously. My apologies if you felt singled out and attacked. It wasn't my intent and apparently I've failed utterly at my attempts at clarity).

Thank you for the link - I always like an assessment from someone with firsthand experience. However, I think Stein's article largely reinforces what I said about Carter. He is not stupid. He is not senile. He is not evil (although he surely encourages it by his unlimited support of what he would call the "beleaguered Palestinians"). He is enthralled by what he sees as his "virtuous" support of an "oppressed" people. To the extent that he even damages the efforts of his own country and is an embarrassment to his party (thank God for small favors). As a leftist, he has totalitarian impulses that lead him to use any means, including dishonesty (perhaps stemming from delusion) to achieve his ends.

I hope it is clear that I am in no way defending Carter. I am aiming for clarity on what's wrong with him. He is FOOLISH and SANCTIMONIOUS and his behavior is DESTRUCTIVE. However, I don't think that qualifies him as Jew-hating - or dare I disagree with Charles - even America-hating. Carter is plainly WRONG and dangerously so.

Friends?
Western

*BTW, I strongly disagree with those who would say he deserved the peace prize for "negotiating" the Egypt/Israel peace deal. He essentially reserved the room in which Sadat and Begin accomplished the feat. And according to Stein's article (linked originally by Render), Carter did a lot to hinder the process.

I had the displeasure of meeting with Jimmy Carter along with four or five other rabbis in Phoenix shortly after his book Israel: Peace, not Apartheid appeared on the bookshelves. This man is definitely in the pockets of the Saudi oil sheiks who have funded the Carter Center and helped rescue his peanut from from ruin (he was as effective a farmer as he was a president). He was insistent that Israel must take chances for peace, but when I asked him basic questions about basic Islamic words that might give us an understanding of what the Palestinians had in mind when they talked about peace - he was clueless (Specifically I asked him if he knew what a Hudna was, and he had no idea.. A Hudna is not a "cease fire" with the purpose of promoting a lasting peace - It is a cessation of hostility that is employed until you are able to regain your strength so that you can decimate your enemy). THIS it the kind of "cease fire" that the Palestinians refer to when they talk about a "Hudna" with Israel.

Carter is bought and owned by Arab interests and is a despicable Jew hater. He's already written several books - but others could easily write many volumes about the variety of things about which Carter has no idea - especially foreign affairs.

Ignorance and power are a dangerous combination - one which we saw during his failed presidency.

There are those who worry about a McCain victory as a third term for Bush. I much prefer that than seeing Obama elected, which would likely bring us a second term for Carter. After all, they have many of the same friends.

re: #56 Maximu§

Jimmy Carter is ether:

1) Insane

2) Senile

3) Evil

4) Stupid

5) All of the above.

Take your pick, but its high time the justice dept. launch an investigation to see exactly where his money is coming from....if its from Arab sources, than file charges.


Carter is neither insane, senile nor stupid. He knows exactly what he is saying and doing. So that makes him purely a bitter, twisted and evil antisemite in the Julius Streicher mould, in addition to being the worst President the US has ever had, or ever will have (unless Obama wins in November - then we are certainly into choppy waters).

re: #189 Reluctant Democrat

I don't get what you're saying.

As we speak, Europe is little more than a mob of bureaucrats harbouring an antisemitic consensus. As a political entity it lacks a Constitution that deserves the name. As long as this is the case, an U.S. President who is both an ethnic European and harbouring an antisemitic consensus, would be a risk to the U.S. as well, since the synergy effects in the Atlantic relationship would make her just as erratic as the rest of the mob on the other side of the pond. In such a case I expect incidents of the kind of the Belgrade embassy bombing, only on a post-9/11 scale. There is McCain, who is an ethnic European but whose party is not harbouring an antisemitic consensus, and in the other party which does, there is Obama, who is not an ethnic European, and Clinton, who has both necessary preconditions to integrate herself with the group thinking ideology of the EU bureaucrats.

Dear Jimmuh,
I am British.
The answer is no.
Yours

PS If there are a million 'refugees' in Gaza, from which Arab states are they refugees from. Exactly.

PPS Judging from your speech and conduct lately I would regretfully have to assume that you have gone over to the dark side.
Have a nice day.

Ugh!
I don't really want to be rude about one of your ex-presidents but Ol' Jimmuh seems to be a bitter old man who may well be working directly against American interests and her security. That makes him very dangerous. Isn't this treasonous?
Regards

Carter never had any sense to begin with and the ravages of old age and self-righteousness have certainly taken their toll on whatever intellect he did have. We and other democracies are going to pay the price. He and his media and other left wing supporters turn their backs on history and decorum. Why he would want evil, repressive Islamic and communist governments to triumph is beyond my understanding. Obviously with his split from the Southern Baptists he is determined to undermine Israel any way possible and I suspect he is not a Christian at all.

Of course his actions are treasonous. For an ex-president to give up defense secrets of our own and allied countries is indefensible and he should pay a consequence. He should at least be prohibited from travel to his client countries and if there is such a thing any longer, investigated by the powers-that-be for un-American activities.

150 nukes should give some Arab countries pause. Maybe Israel should drop a hint that Jimmah's number is low.

255 jim_in_phoenix  Tue, May 27, 2008 6:01:42am

Carter hates America because he never got over 1980. Back then there were still enough Americans with enough common sense to vote his backside out of office.

Carter once again proves he's not only willing to put on knee pads for the Islamic scum, he's now willing to swallow as well.

258 krypto  Tue, May 27, 2008 7:41:03am

150 nukes sounds unreal and the sort of claim Carter's huggable Hamas friends or Saudi pay masters would invent.

It's also been a long time since Carter was President, and probably a long time since anyone was stupid enough to entrust him with classified information.

He really might not have revealed any classified information in his latest display of idiocy, but just repeated more of the usual propaganda that comes from his terrorist friends and wahabi paymasters.

re: #107 Opinionated

The article is interesting, but I think there's another reason why Carter hates Israel so much: if I remember correctly, he was hoping for more concessions or support from Israel when it came time for him to run in 1980 for president, and he expected Begin to kowtow to whatever he (Carter) wanted. Begin had a backbone and stood up to Carter and when Carter lost, wasn't it at that time that he decided that Israel and the Jews were to blame for his loss and therefore he decided that all he could do in the name of Judenhasse (Jew-hatred) and the destruction of Israel, he would do?

This sort of rings a bell, but if someone could confirm it, that's what I recall.

re: #259 sffilk

Some other insight on Carter's anti-Semitism comes from Mayor Koch of NY City fame, in a recent commentary.

It appears that Jimmah was anti-Israel BEFORE he was elected. Here's the relevant quote:

"Ford lost to Jimmy Carter. I came to know Carter well.

"When he ran for reelection, he asked me to campaign for him in 1980 - I was by then Mayor of New York City -- and I said that I would vote for him, but not campaign for him because he was then engaging in hostile acts towards Israel. I was popular with the Jewish community and when I would not campaign for him unless he changed his position, he called me to his hotel in New York when attending a fundraiser and said, "You have done me more damage than any man in America." I felt proud then, and even more today, since we now know what a miserable president he was then and the miserable human being he is now as he prepares to meet with Hamas."

Yes, a Barry Obama presidency would be the second term of Jimmy Carter.

During Carter's first term, the Shah of Iran was deposed with the help of Carter, the Ayatollah Khomeini came into power with the help of Carter, and it was a revolutionary regime that was and is a major supporter of jihad terrorism around the world, and Iran held Americans hostage for 444 days (until Carter was out of office).

Jimmy Carter seems driven by a desire to appease the terrorists and/or a desire to harm Israel. This is very important to him. If he has to harm America in the process, by urging Europe to sever its policies from those of the US, that's unimportant to Carter's higher priority goals. He definitely doesn't want Israel to defend itself, whether actively or entirely passively.

Carter's national security advisor was Zbigniew Brzezinski. Now Zbig is an adviser to Obama.

Yes, a Barry Obama presidency would be the second term of Jimmy Carter.

Carter is a bought and owned whore of the Saudi "Royal" family..
He also blames America for reacting to his presidency in a manner that made his the worse administration in most living Americans memory..
He truly earned the disgust and disdain from Americans - and the love and admiration of our enemies --- proved by the award of the Nobel Peace Prize -- for contributing to more war than any modern president.
