right. And i'm sure as you think as jeb bush says, "history will be kind to gw bush." too right?
Funny thing about those who bitch about carter, they tend to not have a clue as to why they think he was a bad president beyond being told not to like him.
for us who lived back during those dark times, right after the fall of saigon, a few things stick out about carter.
He couldn't even control his own democrats in congress who allowed our military to become a hollow force.
Bullcrap republican talking point every single time a Dem is president.
apacherat said:Something to do with the olympic to show the ruskies that he was upset. That's right, boycott the olympics because the soviet union invaded afghanistan. What a strategic move that was.
And this was a terrible thing why?
apacherat said:Allowing the shaw of iran to be overthrown which was to be the birth of radical islam and would lead to the birth of al qaeda.
So when the Shah left Iran for cancer treatment, we should've gone to war with Iran?
apacherat said:Associated with the later, the iranian hostage crisis where 52 americans were taken hostage in tehran and unfortunately carter couldn't get their release.
Blaming Carter for that? OMG... The Reagan Iran contra/hostage deal strike any kind of chord in your memory? Probably not.
apacherat said:But what carter is best remembered for which the vast majority of all americans opposed, carter gave away our panama canal. We built it, we owned it and we protected it and we operated. It was our canal ! And carter gave it away. That's why he was the worst president until barack obama came around.
Giving back land that belongs to the country it resides in makes him a terrible president in your opinion. :facepalm:
apacherat said:Guess what ? I didn't have to google anything, i was around back then and since i didn't fry my brains on drugs like most on the left did back in the 60's and 70's i still remember.
Conclude with a really stupid whiney generalization that all liberals where hippies. Every sentence you continue with only makes your post that much more irrelevant garbage.
