A bit before my time, but didn't Carter get made fun of constantly for being "that peanut farmer?"

Yeah.

The first reasonably honest man in the White House since Grover Cleveland, and Americans didn't have the common sense to respect him. The religious right crucified him for admitting to getting turned on by looking at a woman who was not his wife, and thus began the Protestant Reign of Terror in a nation which previously had been known for its religious tolerance.

While a dozen Republican presidents before and after Carter talked about deregulation and reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy, Carter (a Democrat) was the only president of the 20th century that actually deregulated some things and reduced the net size of the federal bureaucracy. Even so, on no evidence whatsoever, neo-cons call him a "pinko" and they get away with it, since the memory of the average voter lasts about 25 minutes. During his tenure, however, the best they could do was to ceaselessly ridicule him for growing a crop with a funny name, even though it's a food that 90% of people enjoy.

Yes, President W. Bush claimed he was a business owner and was good at bankrupting them.

[Bernie Sanders]

Let's not forget the Republican candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina who brags about her good business sense, but got FIRED.

Running a government is NOT like running a business. You can't FIRE the Senators, Representatives or Supreme Court Justices, if you believe they are failing.

That's the LIE that Republicans continue to spout out about, how business people make better leaders in government.

Teddy was a rancher. Bully for him!

"The government is us; we are the government, you and I."

Teddy Roosevelt was one American who believed a revolution was coming.

"He believed WALL STREET FINANCIERS and powerful trust titans to be acting foolishly. While they were eating off fancy china on mahogany tables in marble dining rooms, the masses were roughing it. There seemed to be no limit to greed. If docking wages would increase profits, it was done. If higher railroad rates put more gold in their coffers, it was done. How much was enough, Roosevelt wondered?"

Yes, and today he would be considered a Socialist or worse. He broke up monopolies and was into protecting our wilderness.

What a pinko, heh?

Reminds me of a candidate who's running for President.

I respect Carter.

[Israeli] President Reuven Rivlin refused to meet with former US president Jimmy Carter during his upcoming visit to the region, due to his stances over recent years seen as "anti-Israel." In recent years, Carter has become one of the most prominent critics of Israel, notably when during last summer's war with Hamas he denounced the IDF's Operation Protective Edge in Gaza as illegitimate.

Let us not forget that Jimmy Carter was no pussy

"President Carter served as a Lt. Commander aboard a nuclear powered submarine, and qualified as a commander of a diesel powered submarine.

In 1943 Carter was admitted to the United States Naval Academy. Upon graduation in 1946, he began his career in the submarine fleet serving until 1952. Promoted to a LTJG, he completed qualification for command of a diesel-electric submarine. In late 1952, he was admitted to the US Navy's fledgling nuclear submarine program led by then-Captain Hyman G. Rickover."

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter got in a shouting match Wednesday with Sudanese security services who blocked him from a town in Darfur where he was trying to meet representatives of ethnic African refugees from the ongoing conflict.

The 83-year-old Carter walked into this highly volatile pro-Sudanese government town to meet refugees too frightened to attend a scheduled meeting at a nearby compound.

Carter was able to make it to a school where he met with one tribal representative and was preparing to go further into the town when Sudanese security services interrupted.

"You can't go. It's not on the program!" the local national security chief, who only gave his first name as Omar, yelled at Carter, who is in Darfur as part of a delegation of respected international figures known as "The Elders."

"We're going to anyway!" an angry Carter retorted. "You don't have the power to stop me."

U.N. officials told Carter's entourage that the Sudanese state police could bar his way. "Let's go, or somebody is going to get shot," said one U.N. official, as an increasingly tense crowd gathered. Billionaire businessman Richard Branson and Graca Machel, the wife of former South African President Nelson Mandela, tried to ease Carter's frustration as his U.S. secret service security urged him to climb into a car and leave.

"I'll tell President Bashir about this," Carter said, referring to Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.

Carter later agreed to a compromise by which tribal representatives would be brought to him at another location later Wednesday. But the refugee delegates never showed up.

Most ethnic Africans appeared too frightened to speak in Kabkabiya, a North Darfur town that has long been a stronghold of the pro-government janjaweed militia.

Branson, who along with Machel was traveling with Carter, said some refugees had slipped notes in his pockets. "We (are) still suffering from the war as our girls are being raped on a daily basis," read one of the notes, translated from Arabic, that Branson handed to The Associated Press.

The note said that on Sept. 26, a group of girls had been raped, and a refugee had also been shot two days ago. Branson said it had been handed over by an ethnic African man.

The Darfur conflict began when ethnic African rebels took up arms against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government, accusing it of decades of neglect. Sudan's government is accused of retaliating by unleashing the janjaweed militia of Arab nomads - a charge it denies. More than 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million driven out of their homes in four years of violence.

The visit by "The Elders," which is headed by Nobel Peace laureates Carter and Desmond Tutu, is largely a symbolic move by a host of respected figures to push all sides to make peace in Darfur.

"We are here in Sudan because we want to listen to the voices of those who have not been heard and want to explore ways that we can lend our own voices to peace," said Tutu, in the Elders' arrival statement for the mission to Sudan.

If you think that firing employees is the best way to run a business, then you dont know how to run a business. Inspire not fire.

"Senators" aren't "employees" ... more like upper management. And yes, corporations FIRE upper management all the time.

Whether that is the "best way to run a business" is a completely different matter.
