Presidential Leadership, by James Taranto (WSJ) and Leonard Leo (Federalist Society) have Carter listed tenth worst today, better than Nixon but moving down fast. Worst, Buchanan then Harding. Nixon and Carter are the only two in the bottom ten. Clinton is in the middle as Average, but falling, and Reagan listed as Near Great and rising.
Ack! I almost voted for Anderson, but I decided not to throw my vote away, and went with Reagan.
Got to vote for Tip O'Neal's opponent, too, in that election. That didn't do any good, though.
If the MSM was even remotely honest, all they had to do was tell the truth about Governor Bill Clinton.
Asking the MSM to tell the truth about Clinton, or other Democrats for that matter, is impossible today. Just watch the MSM go ga-ga over Hillary in the months to come. FOX News, the WSJ, Internet, talk radio, bloggers and Free Republic are the few sources for learning the truth.
Better late than never. Don't worry you have lots of good company.
We are a military family. Thanks for your service.
Carter's tenure was the nadir of this country, whose recovery began on January 20, 1981.
Truly a turning point in history.
The "Trouble" with Jimmy Carter is that he's still breathing oxygen.

Have a link to the article? Searched Ianian.com but couldn't locate. Thanks
Reagan and Tip O'Neill were two Irishmen who disagreed on nearly everything except that it was nice to have Irish blood in ya.
That didn't hurt him a bit. ;)
Nice maps!
The second map gives a hint of the states we have trouble with now.....shaded in lighter blue....upper midwest, northeast, Pacific coast, New Mexico....
You must be ignorant of what Bill Clinton did but was never charged with doing (in your face treason).. Carter was a malicious fool, Clinton was an intelligent malicious malefactor, globally and domestically. George Bush leaving most of Clintons appointees in their positions was as stupid as something Carter would have done..
"I'm a Unite'er and not a Divide'er", was something Carter might have said.. Leaving Tenant as head of the CIA was stupid and it took 6 years to get Porter Goss in there too, still that mess is not cleaned up.. The only thing Bush has not done stupid is listening to Cheney and Rumsfeld.. Colon Powell almost screwed that up too.. for sure Colin Powells son (head of the FCC) screwed up that bureau.. cBS investigated THEMSELVES, remember, while the FCC dithered on the 300 million dollar budget they have (2005)... The FCC is a useless money pit.. FEATHERBEDDED too..
Bush ain't too smart.. The "powers" that ran Bush against Al Gore and sKerry are the smart ones.. Those same "powers" WILL get Hillary elected too.. Wait and see.. In 2008 the "power" will select a RINO to run against her AND SHE WILL WIN..
A sound rap in the chops.
I felt the same way. I used to give Carter the benefit of the doubt and assume he was just an incompetent oaf who was in over his head. But his constant coddling to terrorist and brutal thugs and dictators worldwide, and his relentless bashing of our efforts to rid the world of this scum, make me think of him more as a treasonous POS who belongs in the crapheap of history.
Jimmuh was actually a blessing from God in disguise.
As with many blessings, you have to pay first before you get your blessing. Jimmuh, all by himself and in his own idiotic way, single handedly set the table for the current demise of the rat party.
Wasn't the top Federal income tax rate at 70% also during his tenure? If not, what was it? Because when Reagan got in, that is the first thing he did, reduced it to 35% or something, the dems freaked out!!
The painful sequence I remember, never mentioned by the press, is that Iran bought some new high end jet fighters from the US, many billions of dollars worth paid in full. Carter decided to 1) cancel the sale after the jets were built, and 2) not give Iran any of their money back.
Where in the Bible does it say you can treat people that way and not get what you got coming?
