Good grief, CNN is trying to rehabilitate Carter/Mondale. Carter is repeating every malicious lie that has been told about this Administration (they spied on citizens without a warrant, the VP exerted pressure to shape intelligance).
They want us all to forget how horrible those 4 year were with Carter blaming every ill in the American people. Do they forget that he botched everything up so badly that people started questioning whether the job of President had become just too much for one man. The reality, of course, was that that particular man was way too small for the job.
Along came Reagan (thank you, Lord), and the questions of whether the job was too big for one man faded away.
I saw that segment with Mondale and Carter....did you notice that Wolfie ONLY referred to Carter as "Mr. President"...and Mondale as, "Mr. Vice President"???
I notice the regularly refer to Pres. Bush as either "Bush" or "Mr. Bush"....
GAG ME.
BTW...I did notice that Mondale "manned up" enough to at least say that there were things in Jimmah's book that he did not agree with...and the rest of the intvu, Carter did NOT look happy...LOL
