Putz Carter lost his office for failing the nation; he failed to right the economy but more importantly he Americans to languish in foreign countries, captured because of their nationality and left to suffer because of our indecisive policy actually his indecision to act or inability to act.
Putz Carter has been trying since he left office to rehabilitate himself politically for history. His presidency was a failure in most areas, and human beings were hurt then, and now because of his policies or lack thereof. President Carter has been able to get the media and the public to believe in his human kindness, truthfulness, and human rights crusades(he is perceived as weak and with good reason!!!)
Putz Carter never understood and still to this day does not understand that the path to world peace is not through weakness.
His presidency is remembered for 18% interest rates, the highest rate of inflation in US history, an energy crunch that forced Americans to wait in line for gasoline, and such a weak foreign policy that 41 American diplomats were taken and held hostage for 444 days in Iran with impunity.
Even after being repudiated by the US voters, when he lost in a landslide unprecedented for an incumbent president, Carter still did not understand. He consistently advocated weak foreign policies. He consistently sided with guerrilla forces trying to overthrow established governments. We can only be thankful that Carter was no longer president when Iraq invaded Kuwait or when the civil wars started in Yugoslavia, because Carter would have done nothing, nothing, nothing.
What a Putz!! What a Putz!! What a Putz!!!
