History has decided, 40 years on.Let's leave the dingbat equation aside. There is no way Carter can be represented as a strong leader then, anymore than Obama can be today.Carter was way over his head. He brought in a Georgia mafia that was only fit to goven a state governemnt. He never had the merest clue how to conduct foriegn policy. Obama at least brought in some who understood something beyond community organizing. Unfortunately, Obama did not.I did the same.
Carter was in over his head but was under appreciated
I disagree
Carter manged to get a peace accord between Egypt and Israel. A major foreign policy accomplishment
He ran his economy on a balanced budget. Something conservatives claim to worship but never do
Inflation and unemployment wrecked his economy. Carter took the blame but held a balanced budget. Reagan came in and tripled th deficit and then took credit for the resulting economic surge
Iran brought down Carters Presidency. The Hostage situation made America look weak. If Carter had invaded or bombed them, he would have looked like a strong president. Instead he negotiated behind the scenes and brought everyone back alive
History will have to decide
If Carter had gone batshit crazy and invaded Iran, the people would have loved him. It may have resulted in hundreds of deaths and possibly killed all the hostages.
Instead, Carter swallowed his pride. Worked behind the scenes and got the hostages released alive.
Cost him a second term
He did?Reagan got them released, not Carter. Not going to allow you to rewrite history.Let's leave the dingbat equation aside.

I agree with that. They did want to mess with Carter until the very end. Carter was a total complete unmitigated failure. Congratulations. The fact remains, the hostages were freed by Reagan, not Carter like you stated. Liar.They were released while he was giving his inauguration address. I was watching it happen.

No they weren’t
If that was the case, they would have released them as soon as Reagan was elected
They waited until Reagan was inaugurated because they wanted to fuk with Carter till the very end
Carter was patient and was willing to suffer political abuse by not invading. If he had invaded, he would have been viewed a hero and tough guy. Regardless of how many diedI agree with that.

I believe they may have been talking, but it was just to kill time. Iran didn't want to mess with Reagan. Carter tried to rescue the hostages and it was a disaster.

Everyone got home alive
It was the Carter people who negotiated the release
Reagan had nothing to do with it

The Great Obama will be looked at as eight years of stable leadership between two terms of GOP insanity

Obama at least brought in some who understood something beyond community organizing. Unfortunately, Obama did not.I did the same.Hell, I was a kid when I voted for Carter. I was somewhat akin to a moderrn-day mileniial. That is to say, goofy and a\ bit of a snowflake.anyone who knew economics never voted for a demoloser ever.Carter 1976; Anderson 1980; Reagan 1984. It's called growing up.
Still deeply embarressed about Carter, but I was only 20.

It was Republicans who were spreading lies
Anybody who voted for George W bush or Trump and has a working brain, or Nixon or Reagan for that matter.
So who here has regretted a vote? If so, for whom?
