Here's Jimmy's biography on the Carter Center website:
"Jimmy Carter served as President from January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981. Significant foreign policy accomplishments of his administration included the Panama Canal treaties, the Camp David Accords, the treaty of peace between Egypt and Israel, the SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union, and the establishment of U.S. diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. He championed human rights throughout the world. On the domestic side, the administration's achievements included a comprehensive energy program conducted by a new Department of Energy; deregulation in energy, transportation, communications, and finance; major educational programs under a new Department of Education; and major environmental protection legislation, including the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act."
Quite a list of accomplishments.
Isn't he double counting peace between Israel and Egypt by mentioning the Camp David Accords? I guess when you have to reach, you have to reach.
Given that the hard ground was plowed by Nixon with SALT I, SALT II can't be regarded as a landmark accomplishment. And Nixon was the one who plowed the ground opening relations with China.
He forgot some "accomplishments":
Gas Shortages
Hostage Crisis
Double Digit Inflation
Double Digit Interest Rates
The Invention of "The Misery Index"
A Birth of Islamic Radicals
Gave in to Communism
The "Malaise" Speech
Warned All Americans About the Dangers of Rabbit Attacks
Did I miss any?
Why didn't they include hostages in Iran for over 400 days, gas lines and rationing, double digit inflation and unemployment, and the highest misery index ever seen in the USA??
Those WERE his accomplishments as far as I'm concerned. Yessir, Jimmy, a record you can be proud of!!
P.S. Thanks, Jimmy, for giving us Ronald Reagan to clean up your 4 year mess!!
