on-the-foot documentary about the smartest Prez


When was the last time you heard "energy policy"? Reagan? Bush1? Clinton? Bush2? Guess why you pay 4 plus for a gallon of gas.

The best thing about Demme's take on Carter is that Jimmy speaks for himself. He meets, greets, answers, and argues. Without writers and the 72 hours between 'performances' our current monkey Prez challenges himself to.

Jimmy proves he can brilliantly think on his feet, on his feet no less, nearly thirty years after he governed our nation. GW can't think his way through a performance in a toilet.

Choose reality. GW cannot recite his full name.

None of those people that you mention are alive. So, I guess if you want to split hairs, he's saying that Carter is the smartest President who is ALIVE (in his opinion).

There are no problems that cannot be solved with a can of brake clean and a lighter
