I am depressed, too! My SON is older than he is!

For those too young to remember, let me list the highlights of the Carter presidency, in which every year seemed like 7 years...sort of like DOG YEARS:

Giveaway of the Panama Canal.
Fall of the Shah, and the Iranian hostage crisis.
Gas lines and rationing.
Mortgage interest rates of 12% and more.
We were told to turn down our thermostats, wear sweaters, and NO outside Christmas lights.
Draft dodgers pardoned.
Hostage rescue disaster in the desert, due to poor equipment.
Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and in retaliation Carter pulled us out of the Moscow Olympics.
Bribes galore, including the President's brother Billy taking presents from Libya.

AND, after all of this elightful stuff (and probably more which I have blessedly forgotten) the Peanut comes on TV and gives his "national malaise" speech, in which he basically tells the American people that it is our fault for having a poor attitude!!!

No wonder when that Miracle on Ice happened at the Winter Olympics the American people were so thrilled...they had gone four years without a darn thing to be proud about!

Why is it the only 2 fru-fru RAT X-presidents can't keep their stupid mouths SHUT?? Trying too dang hard to clean up their legacies. They are both tap-dancin' on my last nerve...
