Caption Contest: Worst president visits nearest challenger

It’s bad enough to hear that Jimmy Carter dropped by the White House, but it gets worse when you find out who he consulted. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on economics? Hillary Clinton on kissing Moscow’s Без перевода? No, although those would be worrisome indeed. It’s worse than that:
Former President Jimmy Carter met Wednesday with National Security Adviser Jim Jones, White House officials said.
Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo said the private briefing was planned in advance.
I can’t imagine what wisdom Carter has to impart on the Obama administration on national security. How to extend a hostage crisis for over a year? How to look impotent in the face of Russian aggression? Maybe he’s simply valuable as a warning, or a baseline that Obama can easily beat. “Hey, I may be bad at this job, but I’m not this bad.” So far, that’s not terribly obvious.
This pic from Drudge is worth a few chuckles. How would you caption this?

Carter: Lord Obama, I assure you, everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Now return to the teleprompter and await my orders.
Obama: Yes, my master.

‘Not even Carter wished to be tied to the Obama administration it seemed.’
“Remember guys, I wasn’t here.”

SHUSH, Don’t tell the Buffoon I’m here.

Let’s see, what did the TV tell me to do?
Oh yeah!
DRILL HERE – DRILL NOW!

Oh! By the way, there is one thing I want to make clear – what that aide is carrying is called football but in name only. Be sure not to play with it.

One more lesson about the dark side, young Vader, and together we will rule the universe!

Be quiet, very very quiet. We’re hunting for a clue…

Jimmy Carter…in the White House…with the Index Finger.
And many illustrious crimes were soon to follow:
Nancy Pelosi…in the House…with Partisanship.
Harry Reid…in the Senate…with Condescension.
Barack Obama…in the White House…with Hope ‘n’ Change.

President Obama seems to be doing just fine in that arena already.

Appropriate, the worst President giving his mentor pointers on how to fail even more than he is doing now.
