Caption Contest: Worst president visits nearest challenger
posted at 3:31 pm on March 18, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
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?

President Carter was dismayed at how poorly the outgoing Bush administration familiarized President Obama with the White House. “This one is the door.”

Seen here in strained thought, Former-President Jimmy Carter is only left to wonder- with all these comparisons to the Great Depression, and it still isn’t as bad as when he ran things- why don’t people talk about the lost four years of his administration? Oh… look! Shiny!

Jimmuh walked into the National Security Adviser’s office, looked around, and said “woops…wrong Jim Jones!”
Ed, I think you got mixed up when writing the headline. Jimmuh is no longer the worst president. He’s now Number Two on that list.
Come to think of it, the senile old fool always was Number Two in my book….
MrScribbler on March 18, 2009 at 4:20 PM
Hopefully Obama’s man called in Carter to get his views and then intend to do the exact opposite. That’s the only good that could come from such a meeting from such a swift sword as Djimmah Carter.

Contemplating the stench on his finger drawn from his freshly picked naval, Carter ponders his former glory days screwing America as hard as he could, feeling confident in the fact that Obama is going to complete the job he started.

“Shhh . . . don’t tell the voters (or Iran) that I’ve been named President Obama’s national security advisor.”
Anyone at the RNC paying attention to this electoral gold, or is the Man of Steele busy bashing “fascist” Republicans and Rush Limbaugh? Seriously, how hard can it be to defeat Obama in 2012 with all the ammo he’s passing out in just three months in office?
