    He's the least qualified of all the candidates...and he inherited his fortune and has been bailed out of failures multiple times. He lacks diplomatic skills, military knowledge and sensationalizes issues in a very uninformed manner..He's a bully, a narcissist and a misogynistic playboy from the 70's NY scene. Talks about jobs but actually is only famous for saying "You're fired!" Worst choice of a world leader you could make...look beyond his personal empire..see the man for who he is.

    None of the other candidates have needed to be bailed out (but not all the time, hardly). The rest of what you say may be true, I don't disagree with it. Though those things don't have much to do with his qualifications to be president.

    They said some of those things about Reagan and he turned out to be one of the greatest diplomats as president in our history.

    There is some irony to the Republicans sending out Romney to try and bring the guy down. Romney couldn't defeat the worst president we've had since Jimmy Carter.

    No kidding! Makes you wonder who these Republicans are? Or Romney? He seems pretty much the fool tool with this. Damn near embarrasses me that I thought highly of the man.

    Ah, but is he incompetent at being evil or incompetent at being good?

    I love it that Carter is a fave target of, let us say, anti-liberals. Here's a guy who not only was the most genuine Christian of any president probably ever (and I say that as an atheist), he was a genuine hero (see the whole nuclear reactor incident) and he BROUGHT PEACE BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, which has proved impossible to every other president ever. Plus, I always think it's the true test of a president what they do afterwards. Reagan was senile (because he was while in office), Bush paints himself in the bath, Clinton does some good things but also makes himself millions, and meanwhile Carter sets up Habitat For Humanity, the Carter Center for Democracy (that monitors elections around the world), and when he found out he had cancer, volunteered to be a guinea pig.
    We could use more "bad presidents" like that.

    I think he wants to do good. He doesn't know how.

    Carter was a good man at one point. A horrible president. The two aren't exclusive.

    You make the case he was a good ex president. I frankly don't care, he's done nothing for me (nor should he). He's become something of an awful antisemite.
