No matter what he says, Jimmy Carter is not the best ex-president. And he says plenty. His remarks, from an interview with Brian Williams, are, well, a little startling:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: “The last photo of you with your — fellow former presidents, you were well off to the side on the right. And I thought to myself, well, there’s — there’s a possible metaphor. (LAUGHTER) What is it — about you, you think, the way you’ve– decided to conduct your life and post-presidency? Do you feel listened to? Do you feel — that you receive your due? Or do you feel, in fact, apart from the crowd?”
JIMMY CARTER: “No. I — I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents. Primarily because of the activism and the — and the injection of working at the Carter Center and in international affairs, and to some degree, domestic affairs, on energy conservation, on — on environment, and things of that kind. We’re right in the midst of the — of the constant daily debate.
“And — and — and the Carter Center has decided, under my leadership, to fill vacuums in the world. When — when the United States won’t deal with troubled areas, we go there and we meet with leaders who can bring an end to a conflict, or an end to a human rights abuse, and so forth. So I — I feel that have an advantage over many other former presidents in being involved in daily affairs that have shaped the policies of our nation and the world.”

he must be senile to say that.
then again, he’s always been warped. He doesnt know what he is really saying.
This coming from the worst president of all time… this guy is nuts.
No praise like self praise.
(and that’s all he’s getting, anyhow…)
