Jimmy Carter still thinks he's president

So I see his picture in the paper today, all serious and pensive like a sitting president, and he's been trying to broker a big Mideast peace package by, among other things, talking to the leader of the terrorist group Hamas. Must miss the Anwar Sadat/Menachem Begin days but I'm beginning to think we have a budding syndrome on our hands here just waiting for a name, ex-presidents who can't just retire and go away and hit the links but

get involved,

perhaps in his own mind he still sees himself as a great president, dunno, maybe this is one symptom of the syndrome as yet to be named but it annoys, geez guy, gas lines were high, 'member? and you took in a whole boatload or two or three of rogue criminals from Cuba courtesy of ole Fidel, go home and rent a classic movie, know what I'm sayin'?

RETIRE ALREADY!!!

  1. Maybe there's a guru who could fix that syndrome yet to be named.

  4. Hey you know I just thought of something. One of the running themes at my blog here is that everything can be psychoanalyzed so maybe he really in his heart knows he sucked at leading the country and he's reliving those years to get them right, I mean if he in his mind anyway can forge permanent peace in the Middle East, kinda like a man ruins his marriage but then goes out with someone who looks just like his ex-wife and he's good to her for the rest of their life together, it's a kind of pseudo-resolution so Bush ain't really president, Carter is, Hill and Obama are really running against him...making sense?
