The Best and Worst Presidents (According to the Stock Market)

Voter perception about the economy, household buying power and employment opportunity is more important than the stock market levels. Otherwise Jimmy Carter would have been elected to a second term.

It's not too late! He's still alive and kicking at 95! OK, so he fell down and hurt himself a couple times recently, including a broken hip. But hell, didn't he survive brain cancer?

Well things are looking so bad for the Dem field that HRC is looking to weasel her tired pathetic ass back into things...

And with half his brain irradiated away probably still could locate Colorado, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mexico on a map, something our current President apparently can't do.

Maybe she could get in, not have sexual relations with that young page, and we can have a second Clinton impeachment inquiry. Would be a first for history.
 
I found it fascinating to study the Carter years now as an adult after having my initial beliefs on his administration completely determined by my very conservative parents view of him (which incidentally always confused me because he was the most true Christian of recent Presidents but my Evangelical parents seemed to hate him). I can see how the painful necessity of Volcker's high interest rates to control runaway inflation wasn't apparent at the time and would be attributed to Carter (who to be fair did appoint him), but sadly it seems most didn't go back to figure out what was really going on and my parents hate him to this day. To his credit (and likewise George W's credit) he's been nothing but gracious since, he's a better man than me!

So odd. I had this random thought of Carter and presidents this morning. I think of Carter as a better human being than most of the other Pres's, but a sort of worse President.
