If you were in diapers during the Carter administration, then Im old enough to be your mother.....Im soooooo depressed.

You are fortunate to have missed the "malaise" of the Carter years: inflation so bad mortgage interest rates were in excess of 15%; unemployment in double digits; the practice of buying as much as possible this week because prices were going up next week; and a pervasive attitude in the US that our best days were over.

All that was topped by the helplessness of the Iranian hostage situation--a President who made one half-hearted attempt at rescue and was afraid to confront the mullahs.

Thank God for Ronald Reagan! His policies not only got the economy going strong, he restored the confidence and pride of Americans, empowering us for the future. One shudders to think of what we would now be like without him.

Anyone who wasn't alive or aware at that time may find the descriptions difficult to believe, but they are unfortunately true. I hope no American has to experience any president like Carter or Clinton again.

You sir, are more blessed by youth than you know.Certain of your elders, (under 50 is now an elder),know for a fact that Jimmy Carter will not attain heaven,if God is indeed just. Some few of us, who are uncertain of our souls final destination, have elaborate continguency plans on tormenting him in hell, should we be consigned there.

Only God may have mercy on his soul, for I am not humanly capable of that exaulted level of forgiveness.

I should know better than to click on Carter threads...sorry.
