Jimmy Carter was a failed President because he was in way over his head. That is pretty plain for all to see. Beyond that anything else is a cheap attack on a man who's done more in one day with his charitable work post Presidency than the people who are attacking him have done in their entire miserable lives. If that's upsetting to people, then too bad I guess, but that's the facts Jack.

Every so often, Rover says something I agree with completely. Having personally known people who worked with Pres. Carter at the Habitat for Humanity headquarters, I have nothing but respect for Jimmy Carter, the person. In fact, I think you might be a bit too harsh on his Presidential failures - late 70s would have been a tough time for Abe Lincoln or George Washington to be President.

Then how did Reagan pull out the country in the 80's? Just a fluke?

Thank you Lynah, I always try to be reasonable. ;)

The problems affecting Carter's Presidency predated him. The first OPEC embargo happened 5 years before the one in the late 70's. The troubles in Iran had been building for years. The industrial decline and flight of manufacturing jobs had been going on for the better part of the decade. As I recall those days as a youngster it seemed he couldn't find the right policies to steady the ship. Not a searing indictment of the man but in the end an honest assessment would be of a term in office with not a lot of highlights unfortunately.

Flaggy Reagan's "boom" was simply a massive govt stimulus to boost the economy via defense spending. As national defense tends to mostly be done through domestic manufacturing, the effect on the economy was obvious, just like the large deficits were as he simultaneously cut taxes on the top earners. Odd that the very people who claim fidelity to balanced budgets would worship the guy who exploded the deficit over the guy he beat in his first election who actually cut domestic spending when faced with an economic slowdown. :rolleyes:

Says the guy who's OK with a guy that is fabricating wars in Syria, Pakistan, Egypt, and silently continuing a war in Iraq.

What time do the black helicopters arrive, and what's the dress code for wherever they're taking us?

Charitable work is one thing. Acting like he's still president (especially when it comes to sucking up to the Norks) is another matter entirely. As is his relentless, moronic criticism of Israel and his love affair with the "Palestinians." He is a mean, small minded, hyper-partisan hack who invited Michael Moore to sit with him at the Democrat Convention. Those two a*sholes deserve each other.

I'm sure libtards recall with pride the Morning of the Wisconsin primary when Carter went on national TV to announce a "breakthrough" in negotiations with the Iranians to free our hostages. Just in time to save his a*s against Teddy Kennedy. The "breakthrough" in negotiations occurred some months later, as Reagan was taking the oath of office.

Why don't you just number your excretions? That way we'll know which repetitive trope you're referring to without having to read them?

Maybe you can take the lead? Any Opie post usually revolves around references to people who've been dead for 20 years, or elections that took place three to five decades ago. Whenever you'd like to join us in the new millenium let us know and we'll have coffee and pastries ready for your arrival.

And you, like your blood brother Priceless (Mr. "I'm ignorant and proud of it") aren't interested in learning anything that predates your extremely limited world view. Like, the "historical fact" that JFK ordered all US forces out of Vietnam. Santayana was right. But you wouldn't know anything about that, since it occurred day before yesterday.

As to the matter at hand, I don't repeat the same irrelevant "arguments" like you do, over and over again. I try to add something to the conversation. You, on the other hand, are more interested in preening for the admiring gaggle of "sisters and cousins and aunts" that follow you around waiting for another bon mot.

One of my kids attended Emory for undergrad. Carter has a strong relationship with Emory, but it is a curious one. He teaches there and offers a lot of opportunities for students to participate in his many programs, including those designed to fight poverty. But Emory has a very large Jewish enrollment, so he takes a beating in the student newspaper and other forums on foreign policy issues. He has been critical of Israel's continued settlement of the West Bank, and that has earned him a lot of hate mail, but whether you agree with his statements or not, you have to respect his willingness to express an unpopular idea without engaging in name calling and fear mongering.
