Jesse Jackson wants to cut Obama's nuts off

Jimmy Carter was a simple minded peanut farmer and a PUSSY. I'm sure you only liked him because of NORML

I make a reasoned post full of facts and evidence and you reply by calling Carter a pussy. It's the facts and the evidence that'll get you every time.

Cold War and Iran Hostage.....Jimmy Carter = Pussy


And it's not just the way he acted it's the results he got. Reagan did the whole Iran-Contra deal but he got the RESULT of free hostages and Americans were mighty happy.

Jimmy Carter was an awful President!

Carter did an amazing job with Iran. If he'd sent troops to keep the Shah in power that'd be the equivalent of George Bush sending troops to Iraq to keep Saddam in power. He would have lumbered the US with a hugely expensive occupation facing an insurgency supplied by the USSR and China in a country four times bigger than Iraq with a ten times bigger (by number of people) insurgency. The country was already bankrupted by one needless dumbass foreign war in Vietnam and couldn't have managed another.


Reagan negotiated with the Iranians before the 1980 election and gave them arms in exchange for the release of the hostages, an epic act of scumbaggery that he eventually had to admit to :



Let's start with the part that is the most controversial. A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.


They were released during his inauguration. American networks showed a split screen of the hostages getting off the planne and Reagan taking the oath.

Jimmy Carter = bad President end of story

And negotiating with terrorists is a commendable action. We're always being told that negotiating with terrorists is bad and the sign of a weak leader. Except when it helps you win elections obviously. I see McCain and the White House are now adopting Obama's policy on Iran after previously saying it was wrong and dangerous.

Why was Jimmy Carter bad?

[El Kabong]

Jimmy Carter was bad for a variety of reasons everything he did (and still does) is shit: the economy, energy, taxes, gas, foreign relations....so MAYBE Carter inherited a bad economy, he didn't turn it around, he made it worse
