Lucas: Biden’s handling of Afghanistan makes Jimmy Carter look good

President Biden is making Jimmy Carter look like Winston Churchill.

Carter, president from 1976 to 1980, is generally held by critics to be a failed, one-term president. He was defeated for re-election by Republican Ronald Reagan.

This assessment is based on four years of an economic crisis that featured skyrocketing inflation, soaring interest rates, an energy shortage, long gasoline lines for scarce and overpriced gas, joblessness and, most importantly, the violent Iranian takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

In that takeover, Iranian militants on Nov. 4, 1979, seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. They were blindfolded and humiliated before they were imprisoned and held for ransom.

Jimmy just hated the American people and their national mayonnaise.

Joseph Stolen wants the American people in ChiCom organ donor camps.

Hey, at least Jimmy Carter respected and believed in America. I think now Biden is worst president ever, followed by Obama. After that, it is a toss-up between Carter, Bush Junior, and Nixon.

Joe Biden makes Jimmy Carter look like Abe Lincoln by comparison. Biden is perhaps the least liked person in the country today, especially with the mandates to hid the fiasco he created in Afganistan.

Benedict Arnold is off the hook. Never mind Jimmy Carter...he’s been off the hook since Obama.

Carter knew how many Americans were being held hostage. Sleepy Jo, Kameltoe and Dr ‘ho have no idea and couldn’t care less.

Good? No. Maybe “less awful” is a way to put it.
