That's a bold-faced lie. He mishandled the economy big time and people looked at him as an idealist fool yapping about human rights all the time.
I am taking a history class from Stephan Bacon, he was THERE at Desert 1. I take offense at Carters remarks for his sake, and the sake of all the heroes that were there, and those who lost their lives.
Carter was a micro managing incompetent jerk. He still is.
Sadly, Obama is making Carter look good, politically speaking.
OK! What I get from the article is that ole Jimmuh is still a complete idiot! Some things never change.
Yeah, sure, Jimmuh. The more you try to save your legacy, the more pathetic you sound. You weren't re-elected mainly because of massive inflation and because of a certain unstoppable political tidal wave called Reagan Country.

Right, you horse's ass... and if you hadn't been elected, the Shah wouldn't have been overthrown by islamofascists, and we'd still have Panama. |
In your dreams, Jimmah!!!
But you showed em didn't you. You let the embassy staff suffer until you left office. Good for you. Something to be proud of. /NOT
Defending the indefensible. Something for which the demrats have a long and sordid history.
Obviously, if I had rescued the hostages or they had not been taken, I would have been re-elected.”
******
Defending his liberalism that led to economic disaster.
His brother billy is smarter. imho
Obviously?!?!
Perhaps your failure to grasp reality is THE reason you were not re-elected?
“I don’t have any doubt that was the main factor in my defeat,” Carter told reporters in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai, where he was helping build houses for Habitat for Humanity. “Obviously, if I had rescued the hostages or they had not been taken, I would have been re-elected.”
Absolutely delusional. His entire administration was a train wreck from the word go. The economic situation under his gross incompetence was far and away the deciding factor of his defeat. Add to that his ridiculously dire speeches which served the purpose of disheartening the entire population. You felt like putting a gun in your mouth after one of his gloom and doom speeches.
As someone who graduated high school in 1980, I’ll NEVER forget the situation back then under his incompetence. I gladly pulled the lever for Ronald Reagan when I first registered to vote. His radio spots throughout the late 70’s were an inspiration and a stark contrast to Carter the Doomsayer.
When will obamas “malaise speech” happen?
Why not go ahead and defend giving away the Panama Canal while you’re at it?
And while you’re at it, try to defend how the ChiComs now control ports at both end of the canal, thanks to your giving it away.
Barry is SURE in good company...
He had to exhaust all diplomatic options before he would attempt a military intervention....no matter how much he was warned about the sandstorm season. He freaking waited until beginning fringes of that season to launch Operation Eagle Claw, the badly botched rescue attempt.
Eight soldiers lost their lives and the hostages were buried even deeper after that. As long as I live, I will never forget my dad waking me up that morning to watch the coverage. He knew I would be voting for the first time in 1980 and he made damn sure that I helped vote that fool out of office.
Like another poster here said, I will shed no tears when he finally kicks the bucket. At least we won’t have listen to this marginal politician pretend to be more than he ever was ever again.
EXCUSE ME??!!?? "YOUR" weaponry??!?!?
What an ass. And just as clueless, 30 years on.
It is true that we don’t know what the consequences of an attack on Iran would have been. Perhaps the hostages would have been killed and yes, that would have been tragic. But at the same time, do you suppose that we would be bedeviled by all these islamic terror attacks today if we had showed strength and punished the first such incident?
