>>Carter's debacle presidency?
Some years ago, at a Democrat function, George McGovern
was asked to name the worst US President. To the
chagrin of his audience, who had perhaps expected
Reagan to be mentioned for his deficit spending,
McGovern chose Jimmy Carter.
Many US geopolitical problems trace to Carter's term,
including the present banking crisis, Islamic
radicalism's proliferation, our incompetent CIA, and so
on. If you recall, his solution to the energy crisis
was not a strong initiative for independence, but the
televised image of Jimmy himself in his cardigan
sweater with the White House thermostat turned way
down. Not exactly inspiring.
Carter came out of nowhere too, just like Obama. No one
knew Carter 18 months before the election, just like
Obama. Hope it's not one of those Vico moments.
