Carter analyzed confidence. Reagan internalized confidence.

Carter studied confidence. Reagan exuded confidence.

Carter lost. Reagan won.

Many here were not alive, or perhaps old enough to well recall the Carter era... let me refresh your memories.

Interest rates over 23% on some types of debts...
Cubans in Angola...
Soviets in Afgahnistan...
Soviet proxies- mainly Cuban- in Yemen, and Central America, and many other places, too. Let me spell it out for you- at the time 60% of our oil came via the Gulf of Mexico, and the Soviets were aiming to interdict our oil lifeline- is that serious enough?
Gasahol, because gas was getting expensive...

There was more, but that's enough to give you the picture, why many of us- myself included- swore Mr. Carter had to go.

>> Burying Carterism

The complete version reads, "Burying Carterism in the ash-heap of history".

"There is no doubt about Carter's character as a person."

After surviving this mook's presidency and watching him run around the world meddling where he shouldn't, consorting with terrorists and undermining our national interests, I have PLENTY of doubt about this pinhead's character.

The sad events of recent days, at the very least, will help relegate Jimmy Carter to his place as one of most feckless and imcompetent presidents. The Christian-hating Left will continue to praise him as a great Christian because of Habitat for Humanity, but I won't forget or forgive his treason.
