Paralysis, half-measures and humiliation in the face of radical Islam; an idiotic energy policy based on price controls and entitlements that created long lines at gas stations; bizarre, almost surrealistic, episodes underscoring the farcical nature of his administration; and a proclivity for developing man-crushes on dictators. Oh, yeah. I’m up for that, again.
Carter's election was the first I voted in. I am pleased to announce that I voted for Ford, not that......., well, never mind, Paco Enterprises does have high moral standards.
ReplyDeleteHey guys, surprise! I'm English!! The Shock. The Horror. I know, I know, you all thought I am a Wimpy Canadian, which I am, my adopted country.
ReplyDeleteBut, I was in England during the Carter years and this man was universaly derided, more so than that evil Bush .. why? because he was weak and useless and ineffectual. Bush? People don't want to mess with him, he may do something, like bomb you or something.
It is better to be feared than loved -- Machiavelli.
You may call yourself wimpy, Wimpy, but that word really works for Jimmeh. What a smarmy, simpering fool of an excuse for a President. Even more embarrassing than Clinton, cuz at least Clinton could be entertaining sometimes. We all KNEW he was a lying, cheating clown...including HIM. Jimmeh really believed the lies he tried to foist off on us. Makes my skin crawl to this day.
ReplyDeleteArrogant weaklings have that effect on me.
Don't forget 12% unemployment and 21% interest rates. And Desert One. And his deal on the Panama Canal that put Noriega in power. And his belief that we could never defeat the USSR and would have to make an eternal accommodation with them.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. My first enlistment was in 1975. Not a good time to be in the US military. Glad I stuck it out until Reagan came along and gave us reason to be proud of service again.

ReplyDeleteI'll say it before and I'll say it again: never trust a man who looks like (and has more estrogen than) Eleanor Roosevelt.
ReplyDeleteNote: I removed my previous comment because of a typo; I need to figure out how to edit these things.
I hear ya, Steve. I was commissioned near the end of Carter's term; being in the military was next to being a leper.
ReplyDeleteCarter: The Worst President EVAH.
Insofar as Obama has any principles at all, he is a hard left socialist, with all the attendant cynicism that implies. Jimmy Carter was just a clueless fool. So I think we're discounting the real malevolence that would undoubtedly arise in an Obama administration, causing far more damage than any of the feel-good, but ultimately stupid, do-gooderism of the Carter years.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, Paco! I was still a snotty nosed socialist living in England at the time and even I saw what a disaster this man was.... and he still is.
ReplyDeleteI rank him as the rankest POTUS ever.
Oh dear, I appear to have repeated myself.
ReplyDeleteNil postae latus.
No, WC, I don't consider it repetition, but rather reinforcement.
