And let's not forget: Giving away the Panama Canal.My favorite…the nexus of politics and history! And in today’s listicle, the work of one of the most astute and eruite intellects, Ben Shapiro. I came upon his piece of that title, Five Worst Presidents, and just had to share it!
The fifth worst President was Jimmy Carter, who did amazingly good job of damaging America given that he only lasted four years.
That was from Ben, but let me add Carter’s lie about being a nuclear scientist.
- Stagflation- high levels of inflation and stagnation.
- Huge unemployment rates
- Gasoline lines
- The Iranian Revolution and the Hostage Crisis
- Said he would reverse our “inordinate fear of communism,” followed by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
- After his presidency he hung out with Hamas, and wrote speeches for Yasir Arafat
- Brokered the North Korean deal that led to North Korea having nuclear weapons
I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out Carter’s party…..the Democrats.
And be sure to pay attention to the party affiliation of each of the next four Worst Presidents.
I was 17 when we moved there the year after the treaty was signed. To say Zonians were pissed is a colossal understatement.
