Hi
Couldnt help myself buttt.......
Isnt it kinda sad about Jimmy Carter?
Probably one of the (actually, not hyped) smartest presidents we've had in a
long time....and most arguably the most moral/upstanding one(compare any "dirt"
(is there any?) on him to ANY other president in modern times)....and I get the
feeling he WAS a president that truelly did CARE about doing what he thought
was the right thing to do (regardless of politics/getting reelected).....now
dont get me wrong, he did alot I didnt agree with then (and now).....but at
least I could respect the man....yet despite all these positive points, he was
a pretty crappy president in action......makes you wonder about the "system" as
much as the presidency doesnt it?
As smart and as compassionate as Carter was, his biggest problem was
that he was politically weak. Our enemies knew it, which is why the
Iran hostage situation lasted as long as it did.
His economic policies failed to prevent double digit inflation and
interest rates.
As a person, Carter was one of the best presidents ever. But as an
administration, his was one of the worst.
