You'll have a better understanding of American politics when you stop
arguing about Dems and Reps, and follow the money.
Golfing is a good indicator. Expensive sport.
They golfed while Rome burned.
Think Jimmy Carter was a fisherman.
Uh-oh.

Finance-wise, he was better than Reagan, since he pushed to get us on track
for a surplus, but reg wise he wasn't better. A mixed bag I guess.
Societally, he was much, much better. I think Obama recently took up golf,
but I'm not sure. Didn't Carter shoot rabbits?

Hey he shot his lawyer. That was the high point in his otherwise
undistinguished career in my opinion.


You forgot to mention that his lawyer then apologized for getting shot.

I do understand that to some extent. It is possible Harry was out of
position. There is a definite protocol when several people are hunting
a field about where everyone is walking or standing. When you are
swinging on a bird there is supposed to be a safe zone around every
shooter.
At least that is always the way I was taught


Cheney, the all powerful, probably demanded it!

Carter didn't shoot any rabbits that we heard about but he did beat
one about half to death with a canoe paddle in a rogue rabbit attack.

Saw an interview with a retired Secret Service agent when he was
pumping his book.
There were some real tense moments when one SS guy notified the rest
of the team via walky talky that Pres Carter's boat was being attacked
by a rabbit.
Rabbit was momentarily understood to be "robot."
Same guy guarded Nixon, who occasionally strolled the streets of DC at
night.
Nixon wanted some smokes and turned into what he thought was a smoke
shop. It was a head shop.
Went to the counter to get a pack of smokes. The glass case in front
of clerk had both bongs and dildoes in it.
According to the agent, when the clerk saw who was asking for a pack
of Luckies in front of the bongs and dildoes, the look on his face
was.....priceless.

Somehow, strangely, that figures.

That's hilarious. I'd like to have seen Nixon's face as he was
combing the wares...

Clinton had the advantage of a Republican congress that wanted a
balanced budget, the biggest tax increase in a generation and a
booming economy that we now know was mostly an illusion. The beginning
of the bubble that popped a couple years ago.
