The Art Of The Deal eh?
I feel bad for Jimmy Carter, a smart man who really was given a hard job. A lot of big issues were about to hit and none of it was his fault, inflation went haywire for example and this had been coming. Reagan doing deals with Iranians and essentially acting a twat did not help either. Maybe a to decent a person for office as he did not maybe pay the snakes all around him in government enough close attention. One man i would like to have a good honest discussion with as i have a great respect for getting done what he did amidst the hassle around him.That started when they turned their back on Carter for Reagan in 1980.
Carter practiced his faith and worked for peace and human rights. He's the only President in the last 50 years who didn't start a war or send in combat troops. He negotiated a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel that stands today. He still serves at 93, won the Nobel Peace Prize (unlike Obama his was based on merit) and continues to teach Sunday School.
Reagan was a divorced screen actor who was a bullshitter - see Iran-Contra, Apartheid veto, trickle-down economics, Star Wars.
The evangelicals love Reagan.
Indeed. He’s still using his presidential tag for positive projects.
I have always seen good in people even if they are misguided or have not yet learned the lesson of life. This man seems to have lived in a weird bubble worse than that of regular politicians with few redeeming features, if any, in his character. The only reason i do not despise him personally is due to me finding it hard to despise extreme ignorance. It can often be born of low mental acuity and that would not sit well with me if i did knock him whilst knowing he may simply not be to bright.
