Yeah, that's true. I also remember a time when the CIA was doing their dirty work down in South America while Jimmy Carter was in office. Dude isn't as great as everybody thinks he is
Jimmy Carter may have not have been a great president and the US government may have sone some shitty things while he was in charge, but he is probably the most upstanding American president of the last half century. Pretty much everyone after (with maaaybe the exception of Obama) has been of lesser character.
Which, now that I’ve written it out, sounds really sad. The best the country could do was Jimmy Carter, who … wasn’t great.
Dude, Obama ordered more drone strikes than any president before him. Just because he was a good speaker and charismatic doesn't make him a good person.
Note the maybe, but whatever. Tell you what. Name one post-carter president who was better than Carter. Dude doesn’t have to be good, just better than Carter.
