Hmm, Jimmy Carter not quite ready to depart. Neither is Rahm Emmanuel's tenant. From Mediaite:
Rahm Emanuel may be leaving the White House, but that doesnÂ’t mean heÂ’s going to be back in his house. Chicago Sun-Times columnist and talking in the third person enthusiast Michael Sneed is reporting that the tenant Emanuel leased his Chicago home to has no intention of moving out now that the Chief of Staff is returning from Washington. We can only imagine the barrage of four letter words this development has incurred. From the Chicago Sun-Times:
“The upshot: Sneed has learned the tenant, Robert ‘Rob’ P. Halpin, 59, who holds the lease with his wife, Lori, until June 2011, refused to budge.
‘I’m told Rahm and a close lawyer friend made several polite phone calls to Halpin last week, but he bumped up against the wrong guy,’ said a top Sneed source. ‘Halpin reportedly conducts his business from the house and his two kids are in school. He doesn’t want to move.’
In a telephone interview, Halpin, who described himself as an industrial real estate developer in the midst of heading to Louisville on business Monday, told Sneed: ‘Look, according to the lease I am not allowed to speak to the media about the house. But I can tell you I have no plans to move.’”
To make matters worse (and, presumably, Rahm even angrier) the lease was apparently renewed only six days before Mayor Daley announced he wasnÂ’t going to run for reelection. Ouch!

Unlike most posters, I have a great deal of admiration and respect for Jimmy Carter. During his reign, he successfully managed to create an environment that resulted in interest rates in excess of 20%, and municipal bond rates of 14.50 - 15.00%.
This period was unfortunate for America, but from an investor standpoint, purchasing the long bond (30-Year Treasury) over 13.50% in January '81 was a wealth creator. Also, the ability to purchase municipal bonds, even with the 10-year call feature resulted in a great deal of wealth creation for investors.
Also, purchasing the long bond in an IRA/SEP was a layup that resulted in tremendous growth, and many availed themselves of Carter's seeming inability to avoid rash decisions.
Again, screw you Jimmy Carter for your ignorance and ability to screw America, but also thanks for helping every member of my family to include the children attain a measure of independence never thought possible.

Let's meet the Carter's:
President Carter mentioned his daughter during a 1980 debate with Ronald Reagan, when he said he had asked her what the most important issue in that election was and she said, "the control of nuclear arms". Once, when asked whether she had any message for the children of America, Amy replied with a simple "No".

Carter held the esteemed position of Worst President of My Life for all these years. I thought it was pretty much impossible for anyone to be a worse president than Carter.
Until now. I now see it is actually possible for us to have a worse president than Carter. God help us.

I keep trying to think of something good to say about teh jimmy...
He attended the United States Naval Academy. Upon graduating, he was picked by Admiral Rickover to serve in the nuclear fleet aboard a submarine.
uh...he had a submarine named after him?
Appropriately so. In a time when the Navy honoring presidents by naming aircrat carriers after them, Carter's name was attached to an attack sub. During the ceremony, Carter sung the praises of Rickover.
During the Three Mile Island crisis, Carter visited the facility. When he said the plant and the area were safe, he spoke as our head of state, head of government, and someone who was once among the world's best nuclear engineers. For all the things he did as president that I still criticize, I'm still glad he was the guy in charge in 1979.

Yeah, I think that I kind of vaguely, sorta kinda remember that and thinking that she was sort of cool.
Didn't help later though, when some supercilious little 9 year old brat got tons of coverage for a letter she wrote to Yuri Andropov (!?) and then all of us were consigned to writing "Heartfelt Letters" to world leaders we'd never heard of, about topics we hadn't the first clue about.
Gawd.
Enough to make a people pleasing, 10 year old Deety feel pretty icky.

I was a wee babe back when he ran the nation. My mom worked in hospital finance, my dad a power project technician. We couldn't afford to buy a house because of the interest rates. So we lived in a double wide on a rented slot. My dad used to lament how HUD would help those making less than us buy real houses without paying the huge interest of the day. Good times, good times.

Jokes and puns aside, no decent human wishes ill to Carter. As a human being, I wish him well.
As leader of the free world, he was an unmitigated disaster. As steward of the Oval Office, he was an incompetent idiot. The damage he did went far and wide.
And you know how he got elected? He campaigned in the center. He offered a homespun, outsider approach to DC, and promised he would "change" the way things were done. He lurched from one disaster to the next until it became absolutely embarrassing even to the Democrats.
Jimmy Carter did have one positive effect that we should thank him for -- he turned former Democrats like me into Reagan Republicans.

165 Firehorse-
USNA graduate status does not confer immediate Honor, Ipso Facto. However it is a very respectable achievement.
I put Carter's military service in the same catagory as John McCain's- that is to say, I HIGHLY respect the men for their Military service. That does not necessarily translate into respect for their Political Service.
1979? Three Mile Island crisis is your reference? ok. Who do I want to handle it... A Nuclear Engineer as opposed to say...a Community Organizer? Ok. I'll buy that- I pick the Nuclear Engineer as well.

Dear Lord,
Please be kind and merciful to Jimmy Carter. If it be thy will, allow him to stay and be an example to others.
(An example of what, I won't say...)

Jewish doctors, horribly disfigured under their masks and black leather surgical gowns, enter the room to give unnecessary rabbit plague shots. The contents of the large syringes can be seen to glow and pulse with a strange green luminescence. They advance slowly. Somewhere, perhaps behind the blood-spattered walls, a terrified baby is screaming.
Nightmarish music swells to a crescendo.

184 USMC8541 --
Wholehearted agreement with everything you said. Let me copy, paste and add to the list:
A crisis in Community Organization -- Who do I want to handle it... A Nuclear Engineer as opposed to say...a Community Organizer?
I'd pick the Nuclear Engineer for this, too.

Polynikes, 174 --
Thanks for the correction, and sorry for the misinfo I typed above. Carter didn't actually serve in the nuclear fleet. (Right there in Wikipedia.)
As far as the Carter to Obama comparisons, I think they're all moot and the two, as presidents, cannot be compared.
Carter is a Tier One president, and I'd say he ranks somewhere between #40 and #43 among those in the top tier.
Obama, on the other hand, is at the top of Tier Two.

Neil Boortz said he should check into a retirement home weeks ago.
Just in time to beg sympathy votes for his pets. btw, does Carter blaspheme that his own superior legacy is greater than Obama's first 2 years?

Carter is what you get by scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Obama, on the other hand, is what's underneath the barrel.

Neither did Paul Castellano. I don't think Meyer Lanski or Carlo Gambino did either.

Yeah, well, now we know.
Whatever the Presidency is, it certainly ain't "rocket science."
Before he got all militantly and globally, anti-semitic, I kind of dug him as an ex-Prez.
Struck me as more of an engineer type.
(Yes, there is a preponderance of witty, socially adept, engineer types here on AosHQ. You are not normal.)
I can't imagine why anyone ever imagined it was in his soul to be a politician, much less a leader.
He has no people skills!
