It's amazing to me,the Dems last 4 presidents had done more to destroy the US infrastructure and defense as well as reputation among people from within and without,the Republicans have tofix things and the Dems raise hell. Carter is a nutjob.Clinton a lying adulterer,Obama and the Dems are socialists/marxists who refuse to listen to whom they work for,and are determined to destroy America to make their name in the history books. We need to pull our heads out of our asses and turn things around.

@nutcase1969 Obama aint the best; but his shortcomings come more from staunch right wing opposition the likes of which never seen before. Party that equates compromise to defeat; party whose "number one goal is to make Obama a 1 term president"; a party that filibusters anything that has Obama's signature w/o a thought to its content. They use a facade of patriotism when they in fact would rather see America fail than Obama succeed. And you bought into it..wake up.

There is no de facto separation between Israeli-Arabs and Jews, the situation in no way resembles South Africa's apartheid system. Those so called Palestinians that want a country that called Palestine with no Jewish people allowed, that would become a true apartheid state. HEY Jimmy" Carter shove that fact up your, let’s say..........were the sun don't shine

@midgetman433 Sorry but the truth is the truth. The recession that Carter ran against was over by the 3rd quarter. Carter inherited a growing economy. Also it is a fact that oil prices were rising BEFORE Iran blew up. That is also a fact. The shah put himself there, and Carter pulled the rug out from under him. Carters problems were of his own doing.

@ToddAldrich wtf are you smoking?? look up the recession under gerald ford... carter ran his whole presidential campaign on that... and how is the overthrow of the shah carter's fault?? he wasnt the one who put him there... it was a republican president.. as for you saying the revolution was only a contributing factor... thats like saying HIV is only a contributing factor for AIDS.. when our second largest oil supplier disappears overnight.. it causes mass chaos..

[ToddAldrich]

@midgetman433 Not quite true. Carter inherited a growing economy (6.91% in Q4 of 1975) and the Iranian problem was in large part HIS OWN FAULT. As far as that being responsible for the skyrocketing oil prices, welllllllll --- not quite. Oil prices were skyrocketing LONG before this. It was a contributing factor, but the fact still remains: His policies are responsible for his results.

@nubnukka lol.. yeah.. thats how it works...:O

@midgetman433 a republican will fuck up the dems will over react and elect a far left democrat who will make it worse then a republican will come in and fix it ... its happened before it will happen again.....

[midgetman433]

@nubnukka the majority of taxes on commodities and other products such as food and clothing are taxed at the state level... the price hikes during Carter's presidency was due to inflation and fact that the shit really hit the fan during those 4 years.. he inherited a recession, about 2 years in the Iranians decided to overthrow the shah, and cut off oil supply to the US, decided to take some Americans hostage. also you are not accounting for the policies of nixon and ford who preceded him..

[nubnukka]

@midgetman433 when government raises taxes on the stuff we need and use then it drives our prices up.... so i guess ill blame him and the senate and i blame bush and the dem controled senate and ill blame obama and the republicans they need to take there hands out of the market and quit micromanaging everything its like iceages they come and go so dose the market government should stay out of it
