And don't forget the gas lines! And interest rates up to 17%! Ah yes, I remember Jimmah well.
But it does no good for us to fume and fret over this pathetic tool of the Dems. He certainly has no pride. Wasn't it Jimmah who declared the election of Hugo Chavez just recently all legit?
What needs to happen is for the media, yes them again, to not automatically allow ex-presidents to say any damn thing they want in an editorial. Editorials such as the one by Jimmah do not allow any input as if his words alone had some God given greatness and righteousness to them. The Wapo should have just asked the man if he had checked out his accusations, who did he talk to, like that.
With that not happening, Jeb, or the Republicans, should be brutal with this has-been. Go on and mention that hostage thing, the gas lines, the 17% interest rates of his presidency. A lot of Americans today do not remember that time and the pubs should constantly be pointing out that Carter had a failed presidency and was kicked out by a landslide in the next election.
Carter getting any kind of legitimacy is a sin and it's time to put an end to it.
Talk about a demoralizing time. For the young people who don't remember, it was an extremely depressing season in our history. The terrorists kept pulling Carter's chain, and he was totally helpless before them. Would we ever want to go back to those days?
