You know, and I'm serious about this, to this DAY I still have a hard time talking about Jimmy Carter. I was in high school when he became our President, and it is the only time in my life that I felt like running away to Canada. We all know how all of us feel about Slick Willie, but Carter was (imho) so much worse because he was so much more devious. When you looked at x42 you could see what he was in plain sight. But Carter, well, I'll just end with what I've said here. Not a very easy subject for me even now.

Jimmy Carter is a poor excuse for an American. I am glad that he helps to build houses, "Habits for Humanity" or I would know nothing good about him at all.

Thanks for the maps. Do you have a map of the 76 election? I think comparing and contrasting 76 to 80 would be telling as well.

That is true!

The Shah bought AWACS, but Carter didnt deliver them to Iran.

Good golly. You mean to tell me Gerald Ford won every state west of the Mississip besides Texas?

Yep. I remember a close friend being mad as heck and mad at me because I wasn't as upset. Had either Texas or Ohio + Wisconsin voted for Ford, we wouldn't have suffered through four years of Carter.

The media had demonized Reagan so that I still wonder if he could have beaten Carter had he won the nomination in 1976.

Ford was not your most competent president either. The Nixon pardon was ill-timed. He tried to deal with inflation by having everyone wear WIN (whip inflation now) buttons. LBJ's comment that he played football too many times without a helmet seemed appropriate during the pivotal moment of the debates when Ford let Carter run to his right with the dumb-a**ed statement that Poland was not dominated by the Soviet Union. Plus there was a lot of southern pride involved-- they hadn't had one of their own in the White House since 1921.

Interestingly four of the last five presidents have come from the south, two of the four have been absolute disasters and the one non-Southerner has been, hands down, the best president in at least the last century.

Carter should be proud he shares a distinction with Arafat. It speaks volumes about the legitimacy of the award.

Carter easily the worst president ever.

he loved Arab dictators and hated Jews (unless dead or apostate)

Carter hated the Shah.

That is very true!

Shah wanted Reagan or Ford to win the election!
