failed economic and foreign policies of the previous republican administrations God, boy, you really need to up the meds. You are speaking of the worst failure as a President of the 2nd half of the 20th century. The guy who sat their and let an entire US embassy be taken hostage and did nothing about it except launch a disastrous failure of a "rescue". Possibly the most naive President in US history. He did not only not understand the game of nations, he didn't even know it was being played. His peanuts were brighter than him.

Jimmy Carter was and is a decent man....much like most politicians, he had no idea how pull the country out that "malaise" period we were in.....had he been elected in 92, he would have been wrongly credited for positive economic times and had b.c been elected in 76 his fate would have been very similar to Mr. Carter's..... The next great Ronald Reagan type president will be one with the ability and foresight to curb the spending side of government....let's hope that happens soon.

ocregister.com He would have made a good El Presidente. Here was an awfully offensive passage: “I hope that Cuba and the United States can resolve the 40-year-old property disputes with some creativity. In many cases, we are debating ancient claims about decrepit sugar mills, an antique telephone company, and many other obsolete holdings. Most U.S. companies have already absorbed the losses, but some others want to be paid, and many Cubans who fled the revolution retain a sentimental attachment for [sic] their homes.” Sure, easy for Carter to say: Have your property stolen, be forced to flee your country, and get over it, gusanos. The lack of sympathy and compassion in his statements is horrid. “Decrepit sugar mills,” “an antique telephone company,” “obsolete holdings” — such derogatory and belittling language. Not all of us get to sell our peanut farm to ADM, for a very handsome — and suspicious — price. And how about that “sentimental attachment for their homes”? Sentimental. That’s the problem with those romantic, emotional Latins: They just don’t know how to take rape.
