The main difference between Bush and Carter is that Carter wasn't and
isn't an idiot.
But he was also a poor POTUS.
I'll agree Carter's Presidency wasn't successful, but I also think
history will show him in a better light. I keep wondering what would
have happened if Reagan hadn't discarded Carter's initiative to be
energy
independent by 2000. Perhaps, we wouldn't be in Iraq right now.
We would probably not have as much problems with the Islamic extremists,
if Carter had done something about the Iranian Hostage Crises. Showed
the Middle East they could do what they want with no consequences.

You mean, the way we're showing whomever our resolve in finding the
missing soldiers in Iraq? They're hostages, assuming they're alive. What
would you do about that?

If Bush had done something about the War on Terror, Osama bin Laden might
be in a prison by now.

Ya wanna hear cynical? Here's my prediction. OBL is living in Crawford.
Within 5 years, he will have his own talk show on every imaginable radio
station owned by Clear Channel. Bush will be his most frequent caller.




Nothing nefarious regarding Bush would surprise me at this point.

Last night, John Edwards, when asked what he would do first if elected
president, said he would spend most of his first year traveling around
the world, trying to patch up relationships with other countries.

It's going to take decades to undo the damage Bush has done. If it can
be undone.
