Jimmy Carter has cancer

[Brickjectivity]

He was treated for liver cancer, but it had already metastasized. He's getting treatments for brain cancer now.

 

[savagewind]

I am sorry to hear it. He is my favorite politician and I think he is a good person.

 

[Laika]

That's a shame. I don't know much about Jimmy Carter. I think my dad says he was into environmentalism very early on and went on TV and said americans should wear two sweaters to save on heating and energy. not sure if it's true.

 

[Nietzsche]

Well ****. The one person I actually think could do something about the squabling children in the Middle East is going to die. Someone better shoot Henry Kissinger, because I swear to god if he outlives Jimmy Carter it will be proof that there is one, no god and two Satan is very much real.

Arguably the president responsible for the least number of dead innocent people. Also, only president with a PhD in science.

He may very well be the only person outside the founding fathers, perhaps even only Thomas Jefferson, to have been grossly over-qualified to be President of the United States. He literally has a degree in nuclear-****ing-physics. Say whatever you want about his other policies, there is no man on the planet who was more qualified to deal with Three Mile Island and just nuclear disarmament in general. I personally think his Presidency is over-vilified(on the same token I also think some of his supporters go too far in the other direction).

Carter was the most loserville prez on all fronts, economic, international relations and gave us the Iranian Mullahs, everyone hated him in the end when the toilet paper started to disappear and we all voted prez Reagan in by a landslide. Carter was the worst after Buchanan and Obama is just under him. Better his post life factoids get documented sooner than waiting longer for more of his anti-Semitic b.s..

Truly a well-rounded look at a man, not at all biased or ignorant pile of **** masquerading as intelligent discourse.

 

[ShivaFan]

Everyone had a bellyfull of looking at him after four years of disaster and who wants to look at him now, much less than him and his stupid brother "Billy" and his "Billy Beer". God, we want to look less on his face and forget the misery he brought us. I remember the breakfast cereal on the shelves were not in cardboard boxes but in plastic bags with a little "postit" viz "Tony the Tiger" since we almost ran out of paper, it was right out of the Soviet Union even toilet paper disappeared.

Look at the FFR rates from 1956 to today - I downloaded a few months ago to show others the shaky state of the economy and warning what is coming as folks lose half the value of their "lump sums" and it reminded me of what a **** he was, reminding of when the elderly were losing their homes under this nitwit, property taxes destroying lives and led to a huge tax revolt even here in California, Reagan WON California in the election against this hated Carter by a whopping margin of 16.78%, and check the FFR rates which hit 20% interest rates for a mortgague and car loans 24% under this nitwit Carter who was rejected and despised by Americans as the phony peanut man who ran on the deceptive line he was a good ol' peanut farmer from Georgia but then found out he was a picky and pesty "elite"-wit (a form of nitwit) and a Jew hater.

Btw, Trump is coming on live on national news in a few minutes on the crash -530 that I predicted, and other issues, so I need to tune into that and not old history on a loser like Jimmy the peanut.

 

[Brickjectivity]

Ha ha ha! There you go! Jimmy C is reponsible for the Mullahs and HIV, too. Plus he hates Jews, Mexicans, jelly beans and spanks children on sight.

"People I don't like are all conspiring against MURICA! And drink the blood of jewish children! And are smelly! And its their fault that other parts of the world are ran by tyrants! And are LEFTISTS! AND SOCIALISTS! AND OTHER BUZZWORDS THAT THE RIGHT-WING SEEM TO JUMP ON WITHOUT ANY CONTEXT OR INVESTIGATION! No, I'm not 4 years old, why do you ask?"

I wasn't aware forcing Israel and its neighbours to stop flinging **** and just generally acting like adults made one an anti-Semite. If that's the case, I'm an anti-Semite.

I think he was a good president who was vilified by circumstances mostly beyond his control. That and a few smart, but politically disastrous, calls on policy sank him.

Carter is one lucky guy. There is good news for him! Here is an update: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35022128

This is the first I've heard of this.

I remember how striking it was that he used the Homer Simpson pronunciation, "new cue ler",
despite having a BS in Science, & some graduate work in the nuclear field.

Nucleer is a hard word.

"Jimmy Carter is to Republicans what George W Bush is to Democrats: their very names make their enemies foam at the mouth. And the reassessment is working both ways. For years Carter was considered a failure because he was a single-term president, because he was perceived as weak, and because he refused to take action against America's newly minted enemy, Iran. But, at this distance, the three great achievements of that single term seem even more of an achievement today: he forced through the Camp David Accords, one of only two peace treaties that Israel has ever signed, isolating Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin at Camp David for 13 days until he gradually wore them down; he also forced through the Panama Canal Treaty, a deeply unpopular move that returned the canal to Panama, but which prevented, many believe, a difficult and nasty war in Latin America; and he brought in an energy policy that saw him reduce America's dependency on imported oil by half. He was mocked – three decades before global warming became a fashionable concern – for walking around the White House, turning down the thermostats.

What he's most proud of, though, is that he didn't fire a single shot. Didn't kill a single person. Didn't lead his country into a war – legal or illegal. "We kept our country at peace. We never went to war. We never dropped a bomb. We never fired a bullet. But still we achieved our international goals. We brought peace to other people, including Egypt and Israel. We normalised relations with China, which had been non-existent for 30-something years. We brought peace between US and most of the countries in Latin America because of the Panama Canal Treaty. We formed a working relationship with the Soviet Union.""

I'll go with the major achievement of not starting or continuing a war.
But the USSR detente really belongs to Reagan.

"New cue ler" appears to be a pronunciation endemic to government culture.
People who know better say it that way to fit in, eh.
