Jimmy Carter : The Most [Unfairly] Hated President of the United States - Documentary
Jimmy Carter was the best person the states have had as president in the last fifty years at least.
Then we go and vote Ronald Reagan in after.
What’s with Republicans and voting for celebrities?
Capitalizing words like that makes it look like you write YouTube video titles.
It isn’t informal communication it’s a travesty.
Don’t even get me started about McDonald’s.
Every time I eat there it’s like I have IBS.
I see what you did there.
It was very clever.
How’s that working out for you, being clever?
It’s not a rough patch, but thanks for your concern.
Impressive going from junkie to teacher!
It’s also been used for hundreds of years, it’s not a post-internet concept.
The t might be a youtube title, or it might be quoted Greek or Latin text. Or various other uses in between.
No she doesn’t.
She just had a healthy respect for the English language.
A couple times it was IBS and there was one time that she got really worked up about a girl writing like that.
She told us it was an IBS flare up but we didn’t believe her.
Why are you so invested in my professor’s bowel movements?
Do you have a scat fetish?
a COUPLE times she shat HERSELF? And ONE time she GOT WORKED UP but didn’t shit herself?
Sounds like someone is telling tales out of school.
Wow, I’d hate to see your unedited original comment.
Anyways we’re done here, have a nice day.
America at that time was very conservative. Then Nixon was exposed as a criminal and Ford pardoned him, which was a hell of a one-two punch to the psychy of your average American at the time.
So the next guy the got to vote for was the most Christian innocent candidate they could get their hands on. But that’s now who they really wanted. They loved Nixon, everything about him, they just didn’t like that he to ot exposed as a criminal.
So then comes Ronald Reagan, the actor.
I don’t recall the details, but the economy wasn’t doing great and I don’t think anything he did helped. Inflation was really bad.
I’m sure he did good things, but I think that’s what he’s remembered for - that and the whole Iran hostage crisis thing.
Now that Jimmy Carter has been placed in hospice care the countdown has begun. A countdown not only to his imminent demise, but also to the flood of hagiographic articles portraying the former president as the nation’s kindly grandfather. A modern saint who found his way through the corrupt world of American politics without losing his moral compass, only to go on after his one term in office to build homes for Habitat for Humanity rather than cash-in on expensive public speaking appearances or book deals like some other presidents – though Carter quietly did that as well.
Because he lacks the ability to think for himself and instead gets all his ideas from other jackass strong man types.
Fucking pathetic.
“He’s history’s greatest monster!”
Said the Simpsons, sarcastically.
My father is a lifelong democrat. My mother is a naturalized citizen from Great Britain. I was in high school during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. I was mocked in high school for making a presentation where I advocated for disarmament.
All that being said, the presidency of Jimmy Carter was one of the scariest and most upsetting presidencies I can remember. I had never experienced inflation of that level before. The gas rationing and concern about whether we were going to have the means to carry out the basic functions we needed to complete was real. It was the first experience we had with worldwide terrorism, and there were over 300 Americans being held hostage in a foreign land with no sign of progress.
Jimmy Carter was no doubt a good man. I believe he was woefully underqualified to run the country. I know that he is lauded these days, but I’m telling you from the perspective of someone who lived through his presidency, it was not a good time for me or my family.
As one of the posts here makes clear, he wasn’t even good from a Democrat point of view.
It’s interesting because it was after my time but hindsight kind of showed he was right in principal but wasn’t a great statesman and couldn’t do the political calculationing behind the scenes to rally his own party much less unit both sides.
I vaguely know about the Ollie North and how the hostage situation before his second election run sabotaged his campaign but that seems to be more a nail in the coffin rather than the only reason.
Wow. You really drank the Kool aid hardcore didn’t you?
Sad really, mental decline is a tragedy.
