I had always thought of Jimmie Carter as incompetent. But to combine that with MALICIOUS intent, disguised as "fighting despotism", well, indirectly, he may have done the US a huge favor. The country was finally compelled to turn to Ronald Reagan.

As a "nation builder" Jimmie was a total failure.

Democrats like Jimmy Carter stir up feeling in me that I do not like!!!!!!!!

Unfair to compare Carter with Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain finally figured out appeasment wouldn't work when Hitler invaded Poland. Carter still hasn't figured it out.

But you are right about one good thing he accomplished-- giving us eight years of Ronald Reagan:

1980 1984

As a failure he was a flop. Maybe his mother was on to something when she said that Billy was the smart one.

I've read somewhere that after Reagan was elected, Carter approached the Soviet Union, through back channels, with the request that they do what they can to minimize the damage he thought Reagan would cause. I believe this was Ann Coulters Treason
