Barack Obama Is the New Jimmy Carter: Niall Ferguson

"At best case, we're going to re-run the 1970s, only with Barack Obama instead of Jimmy Carter in the White House," Ferguson said.

Trump: I Always Said Carter Was the Worst President (Except Last Week)

“Look, he’s (Obama) been a horrible president. I always said the worst president was Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter goes to second place. Barack Obama has been the worst president ever.”

Barry Carter.

Today on The Laura Ingraham Show, host Laura Ingraham presented a remix, of sorts, juxtaposing portions of former President Jimmy Carter’s 1979 “Malaise Speech” (also known as his “Crisis of Confidence Speech” or, perhaps, his “Generally Terrible Stuff Speech”) with recent comments made by President Barack Obama.

Barack Obama repeats everything Jimmy Carter said in his "Malaise" speech.

I always thought that the worst US president has been George Bush.

The worst President has always since his administration been Buchanan. Carter and Obama are vying for 2nd/3rd worst.

Out of curiosity, George W. Bush is considered to have been a good or bad President by the American opinion?

You have been listening to too many lies from the media folk who hated him BEFORE he was elected. George Bush did some things wrong. (Opened up the flood gates of spending. Created New Government Bureaucracies. ) But he did some things right. (Take out Iraq before they could develop a Nuclear weapon, and initiate an infection of Democracy in the middle east.)

The worst President is Barack Obama. Till this inexperienced nitwit showed up, Jimmy Carter was the worst President.

I think it's unfair to Buchanan to pin the Civil War on him. From my reading, Lincoln had more to do with it than did Buchanan.

He is considered to be a good President by the normal decent members of our society, but the Parasites and arrogant "Aristocracy" of our society hated him from the very beginning. Since they control access to what gets broadcast, their opinions are overrepresented around the world.

The media is ENTIRELY in the Hands of Democrats. The two main media hubs (New York, Los Angeles) are Heavily Democrat, So anyone hired comes from that demographic, and all Media employees are Union, and therefore virtually the same thing as a guaranteed Democrat.

It is like a football game where the referees wear one team's Jerseys under their referee clothes. They will call every play in favor of their favorite team, and you will NEVER get the truth out of them.

I always thought the worst President was Hitler. Or maybe Napolean.

Oh, you mean U.S.... Herbert Hoover. He bungled the recession of '29 so badly he caused black Tuesday and then bungled his response to that to cause the great depression.

Barack Obama is trying really hard to match Hoover, though. If he has his way, we'll be in a depression for sure.

Hoover was a "Big Government" kind of guy. He implemented all these socialist ideas in an effort to "Fix" the economy, and all it did was create uncertainty. Roosevelt continued and made worse these same policies. Silent Cal took the opposite approach to the economic downturn of the early 1920s, and the result is that we don't remember how the country nearly went into a depression then.

I disagree with Diogenes. Bush did what he thought was right, unfortunately it wasn't.

1. You can't engage in war while lowering taxes.
2. You can't engage in 2 wars while lowering taxes.
3. You can't spend like there's no tomorrow while 1 and 2
4. Initiated TARP bailouts
5. Policies lead to one of the greatest trends of job out-sourcing
6. Fell off a Segway
7. Choked on a pretzel or chip

At the start of his first term we were entering an economic downturn. We remained in an economic downturn and at the end of his second term, started the entering of a recession. Either it was conservative policy or Bush that lead us there (talking pre-Obama presidency). We were there regardless.

Anecdotally: 2000-2008 is when I personally experienced the greatest hardship of my life and I think many others did too such that there was a huge swing to the left and Obama got elected. I do not, however; believe there will be a huge swing to the right now. I feel we need to get to a moderate, central position to survive. There are great ideas to be had from both sides and both sides need each other.
