"Not as proud as you -+are of Carter's "accomplishments.""
Unlike you and harris, I am not attempting to rewrite history. Carter was a terrible president in many ways. But, not everything he did was bad. His push on intelligent weapons, for example. And his energy programs.
But, your team is so busy making shit up that you have lost sight of reality. Those programs existed. If we had kept them up, we would be in much better shape now. But, your team has been so busy running up the credit card and passing up opportunities to behave prudently, that we are having to rely on winning the lottery to get out of this hole.
You must be proud.
"Kind of says a lot when your side is too embarrassed to call Obama "Carter II.""
He isn't Carter II. Yet. Although he could be. He certainly has been dealt a lousy hand.
Which, brings up an issue, since Carter is on the table. Your team is big on the argument "yeah, Bush is bad, but the other guys would have been worse". Y'all are always predicting that if Gore had been president, we would be bowing to Mecca now and similar such nonsense. Of all the recent presidents, Carter is the one that is the supposed model for these projections. So, what did he do when the ME decided to force a change in the way we treat Israel and the ME in general? Did he throw Israel under the bus and lead national prayers to Meccas?
No. He pushed even harder to get the ME to accept Israel that culminated in the Camp David Accords. He pushed, hard, to wean the US off of foreign oil. He, in fact, did not cave in on their demands, although it would have been easier.
Which sort of exposes the myths y'all have been spinning. |
