So if Obama has a great time with the economy it's due to George W Bush


I guess that means Hoover paved the way for FDR to do what he did
He sent the military to get the hostages out. The military fucked it up. Then Reagan started secret negotiations with the Iranians to get the hostages out while the GOP publicly said no negotiations with terrorists, so Carter had no chance to get them out after Reagan turned traitor.

Again Lyle, exactly what could Carter do to end the embargo?

And I already explained about the economy. If you want to argue he did a bad job using facts and evidence then go right ahead, otherwise you're just blowing bubbles.
