dude's a Russian spy...

decides the US is a better place than the USSR, comes here and says he's defecting...

then lectures us about how we are destroying ourselves...36 years ago...

an American counterpart doing this in Russia would have been given one to the back of the head

There is a certain sort of symmetry. In 1984 Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan. In 2020 Donald Trump will loose to Joe Biden. So the 2 worst presidents in my lifetime will have lost their bid for reelection.

Actually Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan in 1980.First election I was old enough to vote in and not only did I get to vote the Greatest President of all Time in but I had the pleasure of doing it twice.

Just for the record Reagan plowed Walter Mondale in a landslide in 84.Jimmy Carter was already back in Georgia with brother Billy farming peanuts and pushing Billy Beer.

Yea Jimmy was bad but tied in there for last is Obama.Obama may have not lost his bid for reelection but if you believe he won above board I have some ocean front property in Kansas for sale.

Keep in mind that Carter was a much better man than Trump or Reagan who both falsely claimed they would make America great again. I find it difficult to believe that you are that young and uniformed.

Tony I will repeat what I said as an 18 year old young man on my first ship,in front of my entire division,to shut the only uninformed Sailor among us up..............."Jimmy Carter wouldn't make a mole on Ronald Reagan's ass" and for you I might add,much better men do not necessarily make good leaders of men or countries.Ol Jimmy being a Navy Man still gets no slack from me.........he was what was known in our world as a walking clusterfuck,very intelligent but incapable of leading ants to a picnic

sent fake info to congress wif his numbahs guy Greenspan about the social security crisis that did not exist and began the raid which fulfilled the premise of the lie...all because he needed to find a way to balance the budget when trickle up failed.

Raid continued until Gore, of all people, said to Lock the Box.

At least he saw the necessity in fighting communism instead of embracing it like the looney left.

It was very expensive to break the Soviet Union and its communist stronghold.So would you have preferred to put warheads on target and boots on the ground?

Not to mention reversing the ballooning interest rates of the Carter catastrophe and bringing a torn country back together.

As a young Sailor Carter gave me little in monetary means and nothing in pride.Within the first 12 months of President Reagan as CIC my pay doubled(e-5 and below received huge raises to get us above the poverty line),the Vietnam War haters were gone and the pride of the nation and it's military did nothing but rise.It was a great time to be alive unless you were a communist...............then you might have something to complain about.

Frank seriously the only box Gore locked was his rear entry box after Tipper found out Bill and Al used the term "playing a round" in a completely different way than your average American golfer.We won't even talk about how many scorecards had a "hole in one" marked.
