Yeah, I guess you are just an unlucky idiot, President Carter.
President Reagan took away all of your glory, having negotiated with the Iranians just prior to Inauguration Day for their release, right?
Wow, you were a really ineffectual president. At least you had an economic termed coined in your honor, “Stagflation”.
What more do you need to know: Iran released the hostages as Ronald Reagan was taking the oath of office.
OK, so I’m trying to get my brain around this. Carter is one of those Dims who thinks we should use diplomacy and negotiation with our enemies, rather than military force. But his only regret about his four WH years is that he didn’t use more military power in the form of another helicopter to rescue the hostages.
But Reagan NEGOTIATED to gain the hostages’ release, even though he didn’t have ANY helicopters at the time.
No wonder that rabbit was such a big threat to Carter.
