I have yet to hear a logical reason people crap on Carter...they invariably just say 'Carter, if you don't understand why he sucked, I just can't talk to you', never ' Carter, this is why he sucked'.
EDIT: If it's all about leadership, stability, and helping, you must be conflicted that Tricky Dick is republican, huh? The Bushes can't help either. It's a wonder you can stick with your party, I quit the republicans when they quit being republican, before I could vote, during Regan.
Carter provided leadership in a responsible direction, but idiots desired placation rather than leadership and didn't follow. Regan placated his base, and we nearly had a depression. Carter started us on a non-interventionist foreign policy, because he personally understood the short and long term repercussions of intervening, now we've shit in their pot so hard and long that we CAN'T just go hands off anymore, we've already created our enemy. That said, it's like a junkie going cold turkey, it hurts them, may kill them, but if they survive they have a chance of life, if they don't stop, they die soon anyway. If we could find a good foreign policy methadone, we should use it at every turn and start worrying about us, IMO. If we had not installed our leaders and otherwise interfered in the first place, everyone would be better off, but that ship has sailed (in many cases because we didn't follow Carter's suggestion to stay out, I might add).
OK, got me with Boston. Ft Hood is a lone gunman, and those stopped prove my point. I think you know I meant foreign spawned terrorist attacks, but I grant I did not say that. But then you have to admit there were other successful attacks under Bush AFTER 9/11, like the guy who flew his plane into the IRS building in Texas.
Agreed, the spread of religion is always terrible, no matter which religion, some are worse than others at times, none are good. I could support outlawing organized religion, but grant that most would not.
Obama did not create radical Islam. If anyone did, it's Regan, by arming them to the teeth against the red menace, then just walking away.
I also disagree that Obama's the 'my way or the highway' guy/side. Please recall, "You're either with us or against us" is a republican slogan. The republicans stated before Obama was inaugurated that he was already the worst president ever, and their plan for the next 4-8 years was 'just say no' to everything, even to plans they designed, but they have never come up with any alternatives, just "not Obama's way" over and over, that's real 'not leading' as opposed to the type they accuse Obama of.
4.5 years of shitty economy, but trending up, not down even then.
Where I live, jobs have been an issue since Regan/Bush 1, so I don't think you want to point that finger here.
Not true, stagnant over the last 14+ years. They certainly went up in the 90's.
Once again, Bush economics caused the recession, salaries went down during the recession/depression. Salaries are on the way up now...not fast enough, granted, but up.
Obama has NEVER been able to do whatever he thinks/wants. That is delusional. Even when the democrats had the votes to do so, they didn't, because they suck donkey dicks. Happy? ;-)
Times were better for a special few under Regan, not most. Times got better for most everyone under Clinton.
We agree on your final point, the Bushes sucked, lets build on that and not make that mistake again.

In a word...yes. In more words, obstructionist republicans, and spineless democrats are who I blame.
Being behind or not putting forth issues that need consideration/committee is far different from actively denying votes on almost any legislation, which has been the republican MO since Obama was elected. They seemingly decided "Just say no" had to work for something, and since it wasn't drugs, perhaps it was politics.
Not true, they simply didn't get most of what they wanted when they held no power (that's how politics often works), on the other hand, as the minority they still managed to paralyze the democrats...so I must agree with your last statement, the poor are poorer and the middle class is also, and the democrats failed to effectively lead us out of the Bush fiasco. I have little love for democrats either, but less for republicans.
Yes, I recognized Puddles, and found the image appropriate. The old school mic is a dead giveaway.

Seems like another great reason to never answer a question from a cop, you are not required to answer questions or consent to search.
Just say 'NO!'. (See, that slogan is good for something!)

In light of the California murders I think this is appropriate.
Also TV news rots the mind. Just say NO!
*quality

"Woozy" just says no to drugs...

I'm holding on to my 4S. Just say no to the newer Jobs~less versions! @Yogi I have never had an issue with mine.

If a comedian invites you up on stage, just say no.

Too bad John couldn't just say NO to the egg'a muffins.

You are a # The new Deal gave us social security and every since you are just a #.

It's not murder, it's doing God's work. If it's for him, he's cool with it.
