First decent president since Carter. And Jimmy Carter was absolutely the best president of the 20th century. No, but no question he has been the best former President of at least the last half of the 20th century. |

He now says that he is the one responsible for getting the hostages released from Iran. It had nothing to do with Reagan. And that misery index he talked about in his campaign, well that really doesn't count when he was is office. |

The options are: 1) Reagan secretly negotiated with Iran before he was President, undercutting the real President Of The US in a time of national crisis for his own personal political benefit. 2) Reagan somehow negotiated the end of the crisis in about an hour after he was sworn in. Which one of those "Reagan was responsible" scenarios looks reasonable to you? Are you sure you want to claim Reagan deserves credit? |

Everything that Carter was saying came true. 30 years later, we are basically no further along toward solving those problems. Why? Reagan dismantled it all. Hell, one of the first things old Ronnie did was to remove the solar panels from the WH. Carter dealt with reality; Reagan lived in his dream world.
Bush I? Clinton? Bush II? None of them could hold a candle to Carter.
Please also note I said "decent" president. I'm not saying he was Lincoln. It's just that the presidents who followed were so abysmal.

Shame on any serious media outlet that is giving a dog air time while we double-reverse-equity-loan mortgage our country to the bankers. |
