[Anyone] The worst President

[Mike in Taos]

"I know that you are unwilling and incapable
of seeing the decline that this country is in, but nonetheless, it is 
happening."

President George Bush is not only preventing a terrorists from killing you 
he is trying to clean up the mess he was left by jimmy carter and BJ 
clinton. Here is what the worst President in history jimmy carter did to set 
this country in the decline that we will spend decades getting out of.

When Jimmy Carter lost the 1980 election the Soviets were on the march, 
Communists had bases in Latin America, Americans were paying $1.40 for a 
gallon of gas (about $3.50 when adjusted for inflation), inflation was 
running at 15% APR, the prime rate was near 19% APR, the US Auto industry 
was dying, and modern radical Islamic terrorists had been born.

Jimmy was busy in his four years in office.

It's just so hard to tell people how bad Carter was. Carter had no grasp of 
the Federal reserve system. So he told Paul Volcher to pursue a lose 
monetary policy. At that time I was living in Europe and this reviewer 
nearly saw the US financial system go insolvent. The only thing that saved 
the US and international financial system in 1979 was when the West German 
Deutsche Bank bought up billions of dollars in US currency. It was that 
close and still gives this reviewers chills. The danger was when the dollar 
would hit less than 1.30 Marks per Dollar. It was that close. If a great 
depression had hit in 1979 then it would not have passed until 1990 or 
later. Then all the positive reviews of Carter would not be here!

Jimmy Carter didn't like the fact the oil companies were making money. So, 
he had a windfall oil profits tax on them. This little tax ignored basic 
economics, reduce the profitability on a product and you reduce its supply.

Carter was a beautiful busybody. He pretty much cut the Shaw of Iran out of 
US help and support. By late 1979 the Shaw was out of power and our people 
were being held hostage in Iran.

The hostage deal defines the word debacle. The truth of the matter was the 
USA could not even fly 8 helicopters into Iran. Carter had reduced the 
maintenance funding of the military. By 1980 the US military was reduced to 
pulling screws out of Jet "A" to keep Jet "B" flying.

When Candidate Reagan said Carter had a poor defense record then Carter 
defended his record by announcing that the US was building a Stealth jet 
bomber, at that time it was thought to be the F-19 but later turned out to 
be the F-117. The F-117 was only in prototype form. However, to defend his 
record Carter leaked to the press that such a jet was being built.

Carter appointed Cyrus Vance to be the secretary of state. Vance, unable to 
get our hostages out of Iran's clutches, quit when the US tried to save our 
hostages with military force.

Carter met with the leaders of Israel and Egypt. However, the newly made 
radical Islamic forces killed the leader of Egypt by 1981. Carter helped 
give power to the leader of Panama. The result is the nation had to be 
invaded in 1989 because the leader had set up a narco-terrorist network.

Carter is the gift that keeps on giving. He can always be counted on to keep 
on undercutting US policy, giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Bill Clinton was not a perfect president. However, the economy and stock 
market did well. Richard Nixon made a lot of enemies. But he did get normal 
relations with China and put the seeds of peace in the middle east.

Jimmy Carter will go down as the worst president in the 20th Century. The 
radical Islamic terrorists who caused 9-11 have their roots in the failed 
foreign policy of Jimmy Carter.

If we had a congress that worked they would repeal the pension of Jimmy 
Carter and seize his international passport. Last, Jimmy's Secret Service 
protection should be withdrawn. There is no reason why taxpayers should pay 
for a man who will do everything in his power to destroy their way of making 
a living.
