The Larry Kane Report

President Jimmy Carter needs to do some self-examination before he starts lashing out at the current President. Maybe the Nobel Peace prize is going to his head.
Mr. Carter is quoted as saying that George W. Bush’s administration is the worst in history when it comes to international relations, and that the current White House has ruined our reputation around the world.

The former President is probably right on both points, but who is he to point fingers?
President Carter was a man ill-prepared for the job who led this country through a period of malaise , economic uncertainty, and abject surrender to the forces of extreme Islam in Iran.

His complacency in the hostage crisis began the vicious cycle of Anti-Americanism in the Middle East. He negotiated a peace agreement with Israel and Egypt , but since then, has tilted against Israel, favoring instead the hard-line Hamas and other militants who won’t accept a peace, He negotiated the Panama Canal deal with a government in Panama run by druglords and murderers. His administration hired the biggesr bunch of political hacks in the nation’s history. Mr. Carter has been a hard working ex-President, but I’m tired of his pot shots, some of which he took at President Bill Clinton during Mr. Clinton’s hours of crises.

For those of you too young to remember, Carter was a President with little talent to inspire the nation, although his instincts on human rights were excellent.

I’m tired of people rewriting history.

Jimmy Carter has every right to speak his mind. But he should look in the mirror before he attacks Presidents, because his four years were neither memorable or impactful.

I feel very strongly about the arrogance of the Bush White House, but I also feel that fair is fair.

Consider the source.
