Carter was quoted Saturday in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette as saying "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history."
The Georgia Democrat said Bush had overseen an "overt reversal of America's basic values" as expressed by previous administrations, including that of his own father, former President George H.W. Bush.
Carter, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, criticized Bush for having "zero peace talks" in Israel. Carter also said the administration "abandoned or directly refuted" every negotiated nuclear arms agreement, as well as environmental efforts by other presidents.
"As a traditional Baptist, I've always believed in separation of church and state and honored that premise when I was president, and so have all other presidents, I might say, except this one."
When former President Carter, who's been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace after his term as President, describes the current adiministration so poorly - this is sending a clear message to the people. The damage created by G.W. Bush during his two terms will take the next President if not the next two presidents years to mend. I think that there are some areas that the American President will be unable to fix because the damage has been done so completely. There's no room to repair the bridges that have been burnt when you look at the reversal of some of the previous policies.
History, I do not think, will judge G.W. Bush very well. He is the President and the office of the President should be protected even from those who would tarnish its reputation.
