2. Jimmy Carter is the most honest and ethical

President we have ever had. Period. He has especially been that since he left office.

I am not dissing Obama, who I do respect and admire, but at this point he is not at the same level as Carter.

I'm old enough to remember Carter's Presidency. He was treated very badly by the press, and given almost no credit for his actual accomplishments. He is the one President I wish I could meet.

I've been in the same room when Obama gave a speech, so while I didn't directly meet him, I've sort of. Also been on a rope line and shaken Bill Clinton's hand.

I would walk across the street to spit on any of the living Republican Presidents.
