Thanx, Mikers, it's nice to see someone provide some perspective...I feel somewhat the same as what you expressed about Carter. At the same time, I agree with Jongs, good man, weak President.

Oh crap ...you forgot you're not supposed to ever agree with me on anything.

I was only 23 when Carter was in office and I wasn't much concerned with politics, etc .... but I do remember getting 14% on my bank cds. We were saving up for a house back then, and by the time we could afford one, mortgage rates had dropped back down to Earth. So in that regard, Carter helped me save, and then he helped me buy.

Weak because he wasn't a seasoned player. The CIA hated him, and the hostage rescue attempt was sabotaged. He was out of his league not being brought up to speed. The back door Iran/Contra arms-for-hostages deal screwed his admin badly. I was not a little kid then. I remember.

Curious what you thought of 2013's 'Man Of Steel'. HBO shows it a lot. It's kind of grown on me. Really can't go wrong with Amy Adams and Diane Lane.

I love Diane Lane, but it wasn't a whole lot better than Superman Returns.

No, Jongs, you're the one who's forgetting. We had this whole conversation where we agreed about a whole lot of things, back when I used to respect you, before you went vicious and crazy. But then I don't expect you to remember; there are still some here who might. Me, I agree with whoever I agree with, always have, always will, regardless of their politics.

Yeah, I foolishly answered some questions you asked, and you then doubled-down with your delusional obsession of hating conservatives. Kiss my ass.

Have you even considered looking up the word "irony?"

Mr Rodgers was Jimmy Carter's Alter Ego.

I bet he got a lot of great stuff done.

My only beef with the man was that he gave up the Panama Canal, just because he was a nice guy.

Do you have any idea, as a country, how much less we'd all be paying in property taxes if the United States still had Toll Authority on passing the Panama Canal?

If you live in Illinois, you know what I'm talking about. Government will no longer recieve any money outside of income tax on a Middle Eastern business who owns ALL of the Chicago parking meeters for the next 95 years.

How long did it take Mayor Daley to spend that 2 Billion dollars?????

Less than one year.....

WTF is wrong with Panama? They should be at least in the top 10 of World Powers with that goddamned canal in their control...

Do Right, Be Right. :)

No one hates you for being a conservative. You are hated for being a batshit insane asshole.

I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

You have a right to take that opinion. I am not a blind Carter supporter although I gave you good reason to believe so. I just wanted to give some balance to what he accomplished. I wonder how much it would have cost us if he did not broker a peace between Egypt and Israel. I wonder how much it would have cost if he did insist on energy efficiency for appliances? Much more than we lost collecting passage rights through the cannel I am sure.

Allthough those are theoretical questions, that doesn't mean that they don't deserve respect.

Carter was president before I was old enough to talk. I never talked shit about him. I really don't know much to say about him. Thanks for the positive points.

I may sound like an ass when I say I won't change my mind about him because of the Panama Canal thing... but anyone who has known me for a while knows that money is pretty much God for me. I know down to the penny what I've spent on everything for the last 5 years and have notebooks to document it before I upgraded and programmed a few Excel spreadsheets to do a lot of the heavy lifting.

I don't know what evil might have come had he not been president.

All I know is that that one single act undermined the will of the citizens. Not only that, but it seems that America has actually become quite good at looking sexy while taking that bent over "do me" pose.

I didn't live through Carter, but I do know how to read and occasionally do.

People didn't hate Carter because he had a kind heart. People hated Carter because his kind heart directly stole out of their wallets. It was a rudimentary system that his formers benifited from, but now he was making it even better.

People hate Carter because nearly every single EXPENSIVE "relief" program payed with taxpayer dollars can be traced back to HIS Presidential influence.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
