    Carter human? so what is Bush?

    Jimmy Carter had a hell of a lot to deal with picking up after the elephant parade of Nixon and Ford. He may not have been the best, but he was human

    ======================================================

    And Bush isn't? Human, I mean? I didn't care for many of his policies, but he has kept us safe for 8 years. Of course, you LIBBIES won't agree with that, but we haven't had a 9/11 again since. Also, may I remind you that we wouldn't have had a 9/11 if Clinton had taken care of Osama Bin Laden when he had the chance!!! Yes, he let him slip away in 1999. The media likes to hide those kind of facts when it hurts their Libbie presidents.
