Biden's missteps in Middle East could cost him the White House, just like Jimmy Carter
Fox News ^ | October 17, 2023 | Liz Peek

Joe Biden’s presidency is tracking Jimmy Carter’s four years in the Oval Office so faithfully it must give his campaign team hives. Recent events in Israel create even more parallels. It was a Middle East crisis that brought down Jimmy Carter’s presidency; the current conflict in the region could prove Biden’s undoing as well.

In 1979, more than 50 U.S. citizens were taken hostage in Iran, and Carter failed to secure their release. Worse, a U.S. military mission sent to rescue the prisoners failed, infuriating Americans. Carter’s foreign policy blunders sank his reelection bid, but they were far from his only problem. His administration was considered weak and inept, and the events in Tehran reinforced those perceptions.

Like Biden, Carter was already in trouble when the hostage crisis occurred. The Georgia peanut farmer presided over sky-high inflation: so has Biden. Carter pushed enormous and controversial increases in government spending: ditto Biden. Like Biden, Carter started with high approval numbers that went pretty much straight downhill.

Doesn’t the fact that Biden can barely function and must be guided and coached to speak and stand where he’s told ‘threaten’ his (handlers) bid for the White House?

This “cost him the White House” rhetoric is beyond ludicrous. The Dems have won. Any election they prefer to claim (see “Speaker Jordan”). Anything we have going forward will be a costly sham that will make 2020 look honest. We are North Korea now, and Fox knows it.

Yes, this is going to do it. Not out of control inflation, open borders, destroying energy independence and draining the SPR, loss of stature and standing in the world, wrecking the country’s institutions, targeting parents, and Biden family-wide and deep corruption. None of that matters, but somehow the Middle East is going to do the trick.

Jimmy Carter didn’t have the National Preemptive Emergency Cellular Network to facilitate ballot infusion during elections in 2020, 2022.

I doubt it. His missteps on the boarding stairs hasn’t cost him Air Force One.

Carter’s legacy is and will forever be the toppling of the friend and ally of US and Israel, and a moderate peacemaker in Middle East, the Shah of Iran, and installing the khomeinist devils in his place in Iran. Forty+ years later, we’re still paying dividends to that hideous peanut farmer’s debacle

“Doesn’t the fact that Biden can barely function ...”

The term “Biden” should be replaced by “the Democrat leadership” or “the Deep State” because that’s who’s running the government now and who voters will be voting for or against in the next election.

Biden is going to cause Biden to lose the 2024 election. Like he lost it in 2020.

How will they get those Covid protocols back? They will so very desperately need them.

He’s lucky not to be tracking Warren G. Harding.

Agree,

It’s a good summary and comparison.

This administration is a disaster.

1. Today Americans are less safe that in 2020, I believe that is self evident to most.

2. Today we are less wealthy (inflation adjusted) than before Covid which was pushed by the Democrats to include Biden.

These last 3 years have been insane.

We can only hope that the next year does not see an even further creep into a world war (Iran, North Korea, PRC), or that our wet dream of destabilizing a nuclear power Russia doesn’t come true and lead to a potential nuclear exchange.
