Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter delivered a shocker at an American University panel in Washington Monday: RAW STORY has learned he told the crowd he was certain Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election.

There is "no doubt in my mind that Gore won the election," the erstwhile President declared, saying the 2000 election process "failed abysmally."

He also snubbed the Supreme Court for getting involved, saying it was "highly partisan."

RAW STORY reviewed a video clip of the event late Wednesday. The comment came in response to a question from a student who asked Carter how he felt the last two elections were handled.

In the question and answer session of his talk intended to discuss the Baker-Carter commission report on election reform, he also savaged President Bush's handling of FEMA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Carter founded FEMA in 1979.

When I founded FEMA "we put it together with three specific commitments," Carter remarked. "One, that it would be led [by] highly trained professionals in dealing with disasters. Secondly, that it would be completely independent and not under another agency that would submerge it. And third, that it would be adequately funded."

The former president said the key reason for creating the agency was to respond to governors who asked for a consolidation of the 16 bureaucracies previously responsible for emergency relief efforts. Carter said he hoped that the changes he ordered would have remained permanent, allowing for a more effective response to a hurricane now claiming upwards of 1000 lives.

Carter agreed with Bush on one point: "I think that now is the best time not to look back on blaming about Katrina, but to try to correct the defects that have evolved in recent years and make sure it is not repeated."

Gore is a fucking idiot but he wouldn't have invaded Iraq because he's not a Haliburton guy. He would be a stuffed suit for the Democratic party which would raise taxes and grow the govt. even more. But compared to Bush's damage, this would be cheaper. LOL!

Current Roth Army Member Cathedral says to tell Jimmy Carter to shut his fucking pie hole before i put filling in it.

Nobody gives a shit what peanut head has to say about anything, unless he admits he ~SUCKED~ as President.

Jimmy Carter is a great man and an American hero. Not to mention the last TRUE Christian President this country had.

He got a bad rap as President for things that were way the fuck out of his control. Who the Hell could have done a better job at a time when the country was trying to recover from the double damage of Vietnam AND Watergate?

Nobody has to speculate on whether or not Jimmy Carter will help the poor in a crisis. He does so all the time, through Habitat for Humanity and other charitable organizations, obeying the commandments of Jesus Christ to "do unto the least of these as you have done unto Me".

[Cathedral]

I didn't say he was a bad guy, not at all.
I happen to admire his moral values, he just needs to shut up and stop stirring the pot with shit he can't prove.

And if he can, i'm all ears...

Jimmy Carter is an expert on elections. He's been sent to monitor foreign elections on behalf of the UN many times. He recognizes the patterns of election fraud when he sees it, and the many levels of fraud in Florida 2000 have been well documented.

Can you name any other time in history when this country was recovering from a long bloody war AND a major constitutional crisis at the same time?

Actually, if it weren't for the lies perpetuated by Cheney, Rumsfeld, and other BCE'ers during the Ford administration (exaggerating the Soviet threat and obscuring that nation's financial condition which was already terminal by the mid 70's), President Carter might have benefitted from an economic recovery in the late 70's.

Well, no argument here.
If he can produce proof that the election went to Gore then let's see the proof and give Gore his term.

I got no problem with that and if he can prove it i don't think the voters will mind it either.

Fair is Fair, so let's get it out in the open and send Bush back to Crawford ASAP.

Just think, the Iraq War could be over tomorrow, but we gotta have the proof to make a slam dunk case against the BCE crook, right?

Proof?

You want proof?

Get in line.

We've ALL been waiting for proof from this delusional democrat with a penchant for playing Jesus.

[Warham]

Watergate wasn't a major constitutional crisis, unless you consider Monicagate a constitutional crisis as well. Then we can say that George W. Bush has had to steer the country after not only that constitutional crisis, but also 9/11, a difficult task.

And the Vietnam War was a settled matter after 1975. Troops had been pulled out by 1973. Carter was elected in 1976. I believe Gerald Ford took the hit for that more than Carter ever did.

Just admit that Carter was the one of the foulest presidents ever, and we can move on.

Jimmy Carter was an embarassment as a President.

He must have forgotten that.

He still embarasses us as a Nation.

Shut up Peanut Boy.

Go back to hammering things into wood.

Use that hammer on your head if you get a chance.

It has also been well documented that the Reagan camp held negotiations with IRAN to delay the release of the American hostages until AFTER Reagan was inaugurated.

What a bunch of fucikng losers.

The Republican party line is:

"We don't give a fuck for the common man. We will only do what is necessary to earn us more kash and give us more power, while stomping the average citizen into the ground and fucking them in the ass".
