Chef Jim Posted October 29, 2008 Author Posted October 29, 2008 Today on Limbaughs show he is now tying Obama to FDR and was playing old FDR fireside chats. Now I am not old enough to remember anything much before DDE but I guess he is now looking to attack the extreme socialism of FDR That extreme socialism was the slippery slope that led to the nanny state we have today.
IDBillzFan Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I don't think Jimmy Carter was a great president, but his approval rating was no lower than 28%, whereas Mr. George W. Bush is hovering in the low 20s. I also think that after he leaves office, there will be significant (as yet unknown to the public) evidence and dirty laundry that will show just how damaging his administration was. Approval ratings? You DO remember the results of Carter's effort to get re-elected, no?
Chef Jim Posted October 29, 2008 Author Posted October 29, 2008 no, but if someone is saying "no, this president is worse than that one," show me a way to make a simple comparison from 1 to the other History.
/dev/null Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 ok, let's split hairs. Bush has the record for the lowest approval rating ever recorded by a sitting president, 19% (2/16-19/2008 - during the Iraqi insurgency, and 09/16-19/2008 - after the economy tanked) He also has the record for highest approval ratings ever

DC Tom Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 the worst president and administration in modern history Carter was worse. And I lived through that. As well as Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush. None of them "took" my country away from me. It's still my country, no matter the bonehead in the White House. People's failure to realize THAT is why America is so !@#$ed up as it is.

In all fairness, where Carter failed on the economy he more than made up for it with his true strength: foreign policy.

JimmyPage Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Given the fact that the Democrats got us into this mess, it's only right that they get us out of it. true But they won't get us out of it. They'll spend us into a bigger mess then this banking scandal. One of their brilliant theories is that we can and will pay for the welfare education and medical costs of anyone and everyone who decides to walk across the border, including every anchor baby they dump on the US taxpayer. Oh and wait I forgot...we give them a full stake in our social security system too. Brilliant !!!!!

Come one, come all, we'll take care of you, we'll show you true freedom, a world where the government solves all your problems, in spite of your desires, and without you having to ask. Better here than there, I say!
elegantelliotoffen Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I had no idea that Jimmy Carter's presidency is not considered a part of modern history. Or maybe "modern history" is defined as "anytime in the past eight years." Or maybe you just think Jimmy Carter was a great president. As bad as Carter was GWB is still head and shoulders above him in the history of sh------- presidents.
