Nope. Sorry, no can do. I call em' like I see em'. It's no wonder why the country rejected him by such a large margin after his only four years in office. Carter? decent? Nah. Today, Jimmy Carter undermines U.S. foreign policy and the nation at large on an every day basis. This guy continually trivializes the mission of US service men and women and directly helps insurgent enemies by repeating fallacious propaganda as fact, from sources such as Al-Jazeera. Jimmy Carter helped the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il acquire light-water nuclear reactors if they promised not to make nuclear weapons. This fool claimed he was "friendship-building". Please don't tell me you think he's smart. Jimmy basically got hoodwinked. And Jimmy's ignorance brought even more instability to that region and may have directly jeapardized our entire national security. Definitely the Japanese and their national security. Jimmy Carter makes friends with the likes of Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, the late Yasser Arafat, etc. And have you heard some of the stuff he says when he's in their presence?!?!?!
Jimmy Carter gave away the Panama Canal with absolutely no benefit to the USA. This waterway was a key national security asset. And because of Carter...our ability to shift key equipment and naval assets rapidly from one ocean to the other has been greatly diminished. That hurts our national security priorities.
And if you only care about domestic issues, and not about national security, don't you just miss the 21% inflation, high unemployment, gas lines, and incredibly low growth rates? Misery Index anyone? For those who may remember?
Because of these things, Mr. Carter does not deserve a submarine named after him. Actually if you want to name a sub after him you should call it the USS Appeaser for the way he likes to deal with terrorists and human rights abusing dictators.
