What a tiny memory you have, Dave... not that it's surprising.

And you fall for it every time........


The oil crises was brought on under Nixon (think "wage & price freezes")
and made worse under Ford... Carter was doing much to get out of it,
although baulked at every turn by profiteers in both parties.

Much like our current recession is not the fault of Bush, but of
Clinton, while Bush is doing as much as he can to get out of it?

Funny how people change their train of logic to support their favorite
political icons......

And you're forgetting the second oil crisis in 1979, where we first
saw gasoline hit $1.00 a gallon and many places were rationing gas.


As for the
"recessionary economy" you have been telling us how the boom of the '90s
wasn't Clinton's doing and the recession of the '00s isn't Bush's
doing... isn't it handy to be able to blame Carter for the economy though?

Well then which is it? Is Carter to blame for not being able to pull
out of a recession which may or may not have begun under Nixon/Ford?
If not, then you can hardly blame Bush for our current predicament,
especially considering the recession was underway before he took
office.



So, with no specifics except what you got wrong, you condemn Carter's
"whole administration" as a "failure." You have no real facts, no solid
basis for saying so... just what the hate-radio voices have been telling
you...

I have plenty of specifics. I just like baiting you left wingers (and
guys who claim to be "conservatives" yet parrot the left wing agenda),
into revealing your own duplicity.
