But more than that, it was Ted's turn to be president and Jimmy screwed it up for him and I don't think he got over it.

I know that never in my lifetime was I ever sharp enough to handle what he's doing.<br /><br />Jimmy's mistake was pissing off his own party. I once saw a political cartoon that perfectly described it. It was multi-panel cartoon and showed two groups of streets toughs meeting in an alley. One was comprised of big guys led by Ted Kennedy. The other a bunch of wimps led by Carter. However, when the brawl had ended the Carter clan had so badly beaten the Kennedy clan that you actually felt sorry for them. That's pretty much what happened so Jimmy never really had a chance. Of course, it didn't help for him to say that the reason he felt he was capable of being president in the first place was because he had met John Kennedy and realized, If he can do it, I sure as hell can.Mr. Charlestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497415823443875308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576200516116402874.post-13473664222890446662009-07-28T09:19:37.870-04:002009-07-28T09:19:37.870-04:00Personally I, and I know that many will disagree, ...Personally I, and I know that many will disagree, think that maybe with the singular exception of Teddy Roosevelt Jimmy Carter was far and away the most intelligent and intellectual president of the 20th century.<br /><br />I always wonder when I think on it, what his presidency would have become had not Ronald kiss my ass Reagan been doing back door illegal international diplomacy with the ayatollah Khomeini.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576200516116402874.post-86036536810089773602009-07-27T21:00:41.619-04:002009-07-27T21:00:41.619-04:00Thanks JJ.

I understand mills being raised in Cabbagetown with both grandparents working at the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill and growing up in the nearby mill housing. <br /><br />President Carter is indeed one of the most gracious, humble and smart gentlemen to ever grace our state and the Country. I worked on his gubernatorial and presidential campaigns. His wife is quite special in her own right.The Peach Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587235197620014751noreply@blogger.com
