Carter excelled at victimology. The Iranian mullahs knew that his blustering was no more than empty rhetoric.

Ah, Mr. Malaise. Remember his energy policy? Turn down the thermostat and wear sweaters. He even turned down the temp at the Whitehouse and appeared sweater clad before the American people. Time and again, on issue after issue, his basic message was, "we are helpless," and time and again, as President, he set the example of that helplessness. Bad as Clintoon was, I still think Jimmuh edges him out as our worst modern President.

"Time and again, on issue after issue, his [Jimmie Carter's] basic message was, "we are helpless," and time and again, as President, he set the example of that helplessness."

And when Clinton failed to do anything in '98 when Hussein kicked out the weapons inspectors, it reinforced to Hussein that the U.S. would continue down the road of helplessness when challenged.

Thank God that President Bush continues to exhibit the backbone that Clinton never had.

Middle Easterner's do not know how to respond to a world leader who keeps his word.

Oh, I don't know about that... maybe it's apples and oranges. Jimma was bad but Clinton is EVIL! And that witch of a wife too. At least Jimmah belived in God. I'm very contented with the political landscape right now for the following reasons:

1) We will have a referendum on this war on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. It really doesn't matter whether the congress votes on it before that or not. Possibly better that they don't because I think the pipple are ready to stack the deck and send congress to battle stations if you know what I mean and I think you do.

2) President George W. Bush knows that some things are too important to be decided by referendum. Therefore, however the political poker here at home turns out (and I have full faith in our leader at stud poker), there WILL be regime change in Baghdad before April showers bring May flowers.

Clinton may not have been the worst President, but he was certainly the worst man who was ever President.

I can't remember who said that, but I thought it fit.

We proved him wrong, though, using the ballot box as it was intended.

Re: #54
No, you are wrong. Carter was inept, Clinton was corrupt.
