I guess he thought that someone ought to say it while President Obama is in office because, comparatively, Carter looks more like &#8220;success&#8221; than Obama.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing Carter did in office was grant amnesty to draft dodgers &#8211; creating a class of morons who think they can do anything they want and get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you equate success with forming the Energy Department, you might be right. But if you consider that Carter established the DOE with the intent to wean us off of foreign energy, it looks nothing like success. He also intended that the DOE would streamline the process for building refineries and pipelines as we need them. Not one refinery has been completed in the thirty years since the establishment of the DOE.<\/p>\n<p>If you equate success with Mideast peace, you haven&#8217;t read any reports from the Mideast lately. Carter tried to shore up the shah in Iran&#8230;how&#8217;d that work out for you denizens of the Great Satan. It made the world so unstable that Carter was able to walk down through the cheering throngs on Pennsylvania Avenue at his Inuaguration as all of his predecessors had done, but four years later, President Reagan had to ride in a bulletproof limousine.<\/p>\n<p>He tried to rescue Somoza in Nigaragua leading to the wars in Central America for nearly a decade &#8211; and the worst poverty in America in Nicaragua&#8230;still.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, so this is in preparation for his new book transcribed by his voice-recorded notes while in office. Let me tell you; I wrote a paper in college about the Carter-Torrijos (when he gave away the Panama Canal &#8211; another of his &#8220;successes&#8221;) and i had to read Carter&#8217;s memoir &#8220;Keeping Faith&#8221;. It was the most arrogant piece of shit ever written. In the book, he admitted that 75% of Americans opposed giving away the Panama Canal, but he wrote that 75% of the people who &#8220;understood&#8221; the issue favored giving the Canal back to Panama. Remind of any other arrogant people who&#8217;ve been in the White House the last year or so? By the way, Carter ran for office in 1976 promising that he&#8217;d never give away the Canal.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I can&#8217;t think of anyone outside of Carter&#8217;s cabinet that would attribute &#8220;success&#8221; to even one day of the carter Administration.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I voted for him in 1976. By 1980, I was a Republican.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to jerry920 for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since he couldn&#8217;t find any sane person who could say it with a straight face, Jimmy &hellip; <a title=\"Time to lock the old coot up in a padded cell\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20508\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Time to lock the old coot up in a padded cell<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jimmy-carter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20508\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
