The biggest and most arrogantly obnoxious
loudmouths ALWAYS happen to be the most inept and/or the most flagrantly criminal. Let's start with Jimmeh Carter and oooooo, say, Terry McAuliffe as two prime examples.
The gibbering old goober is actually correct on this one. What he doesn't mention of course is his role in causing America's national mood to change. After all, it was his stabbing of the Shah of Iran in the back and throwing him to the Islamofascists that caused them to take the US Embassy staff hostage. And then it was his utter paralysis (save for one horribly botched rescue mission that had no chance of succeeding) while the fascists paraded the hostages before the world every night that caused them to believe that America was weak and that terrorism was an effective way to get what they want.
So yeah, Jimmah, our mood did change, since the policies you followed during your Presidency, the absolute worst Presidency in American history, directly led to 3,000 of our fellow countrymen being incinerated in attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon on 9/11/01 by the very Islamofascists that you and your protege , who spent 8 years worrying more about where his next blow job was going to come from than he did worrying about when and where the next attack on the US was going to happen, encouraged.
Kerry and Carter, both traitors.
I guess the Iranian Hostage crisis was considered a "nuisance"
That would have been back in 1976.
Jimma Carrrrter. He's the one that signed an amnesty bill, and added some secret provisions to help out some friends. Kerry being one. IIRC.

I have yet to hear a sufficient explanation as to why that idiot is still in good health.
(btw: that's some screenname y'got there) :)
Wrong!
Jimmah epitomizes stupidity
Semper Fi
Carter the man who allowed Americans to suffer speaks up! A guy builds some crappy half fallen down homes for people knows any thing?
Okay, Jimmah, you can come out of that tree, now.

LONDON (AP) - President Bush has exploited the Sept. 11 attacks, and a timorous American press has not held him to account, former President Jimmy Carter said in an interview published Monday.
Carter was asked by the Guardian newspaper why he failed to win re-election in 1980 against Ronald Reagan after Iranian radicals held U.S. citizens hostage for 444 days, while Bush may win re-election despite misgivings over the Iraq war.
"The basic reason is that our country suffered, in 9/11, a terrible and shocking attack ... and George Bush has been adroit at exploiting that attack, and he has elevated himself, in the consciousness of many Americans, to a heroic commander in chief, fighting a global threat against America," Carter said.
"He's repeatedly played that card, and to some degree quite successfully. I think that success has dissipated. I don't know if it's dissipating fast enough to affect the election. We'll soon know."
Carter said Bush has the advantage of being commander in chief in a time of war.
"And it's just become almost unpatriotic to describe Bush's fallacious and ill-advised and mistaken and sometimes misleading actions," Carter said.
"The press have been cowed, because they didn't want to be unpatriotic. There has been a lack of inquisitive journalism. In fact, it's hard to think of a major medium in the United States that has been objective and fair and balanced, and critical when criticism was deserved."
Carter criticized Bush for abandoning arms control efforts pursued by previous U.S. administrations.
"All of those long, tedious negotiations that were done by Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Nixon and me and Reagan, to control the spread of nuclear weapons have been abandoned by Bush," Carter said.
Carter was defeated in a landslide in 1980 by Reagan, and the feeling of national humiliation over the Iranian hostage drama undoubtedly played a part. The Iranian hostage-takers waited until the day of Reagan's inauguration to release their captives.
Carter asserted that the hostage crisis was less damaging to U.S. interests than the recent war in Iraq.
"The entire Islamic world condemned Iran," Carter said, while today he said there was massive Islamic condemnation of the United States "because of the unwarranted invasion of Iraq ... which was a completely unjust adventure based on misleading statements, and the lack of any effort to resolve the Palestinian issue."
