Amos:

You got it backward. Hayward was not deemed the worst president and trying to claim someone else is a worse president.
Carter is and he us dumping on GWB.

If you watched the news, Carter was backing off of his criticisim of Bush already.

But then, you would repeat what three year old or Howdy Doody said if it was negative.

Carter backs off criticism of Bush's administration, policy

May 21, 2007

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter said today that his remarks about President George W. Bush's administration being the "worst in history" because of its impact around the world were "careless or misinterpreted."

Speaking on NBC's "Today," Carter appeared to retreat from a statement he made to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that said: "I think, as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history." The comment was in a story published Saturday.

Carter said today that when he made the comment, he was responding to a question comparing the Bush administration's foreign policy to that of former President Richard Nixon.

"I think this administration's foreign policy compared to president Nixon's was much worse," Carter said. But he said he did not mean to call it the worst in history.

"No, that's not what I wanted to say. I wasn't comparing this administration with other administrations back through history, but just with President Nixon."
