This wasn’t the only thing that made Carter a one term president. His total lack of competence in dealing with the economy didn’t help him any. Either way, in the end, we got Reagan. Some stories do have happy endings.

Well, the hostages were the fault of Carter. Desert One, sealed his fate, but in truth, it wasn’t his fault. The US military, which couldn’t pull off Mayaguez for President Ford, wasn’t up to the mission.

Navy Helicopters did not have filters, to keep the sand out of the air intakes, for desert use.

Disagree. Carter was going to be a one-term President from the very first “Sweater” fireside chat.

The initial feeling of the public when the Desert One was blown, was that Carter was at least TRYING to something, besides talking to whackjob muslims, to get our people BACK.

The one who SCREWED himself OUT of the Presidency was Teddy “The Swimmer” Kennedy when he went out and immediately denounced Carter to the press.

Carter's poll numbers actually went up after the disaster in the Iranian desert.

As bad as Carter was (and the American people knew it), he was in the race with Reagan until the end. With 10 days to go 'til the election, the race was essentially dead even and Carter was on the rise. The reason?...Ronald Reagan had not closed the deal with the voters.

Then came the debate and the rest is history.

Yep Carter was responsible for turning my parents from life long democrats to republicans in less than 4 years. He was, by far, the worst president of my life time or even my parents (although Obama my eventually take the crown).

If I remember correctly the mission was a failure because Carter couldn’t make up his damn mind whether or not to give the go signal, and they sat out in the desert for hours waiting - He finally gave the go order after a sand storm had started. Idiot.

But I remember Carter coming on TV and telling us that Desert One was “an incomplete success.” How long until Hussein uses that term to describe his programs?

From the article: “As a president, Carter was weak; as a former president, he’s a disgrace.”

Barry Hussein Obama, the Kenyan born Muslim Marxist, is already a disgrace. Beyond weak. Beyond inept. Obama is an enemy of America and all we hold dear.
