Jimmy Carter defines the term naive

This has to be the most incredibly stupid thing that I have seen or heard all day, and people, it's been one of those days.

"When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that's the dictator, because he speaks for all the people." Jimmy Carter

Wow, that really all I can say, just, wow. And this man used to be the leader of the free world. Does he really understand the meaning of the word "free"?

Wow...

Jimmy Carter

Reading Margaret Thatcher's perspective on world affairs and the affect that the United States played in the world during her administration has been really eye opening. She constantly refers to the US as being the world leader and needing to follow their lead in several arenas. It seems very strange to me to have the leader of a major world power talking about the need for the US to step and take the reigns. I know that the US has an impact around the globe, but the degree of the impact is shocking.

In particular she talked about the difficulties that the Carter administration caused for the UK because of their lack of courage in confronting the USSR, their detrimental economic policies that pushed the global economy into a recession and in particular Carter's lack of true leadership skills.

Evidently his naive approach to world affairs continues.
