Why did Jimmy Carter accomplish so little during his 4 years as president?

[Pogo]

Who's "us," rightie? You got a gerbil up your ass? And who cares what you think? You think Reagan's mere presence scared Iran into giving up American hostages when Iran went on to sponsor the worst single attack against Americans in the Middle East in our history.

You really are that stupid.

The rest of America, dumbfuck. America has been laughing at Jimmy Carter since he was first elected. He was a joke while he was president and he's been an even bigger joke since he was crushed by Ronald Reagan in 1980. The man is a LOSER, just like YOU, scumbag.

Too bad you're completely wrong about the Algiers Accords then Cinderella, and actually believe that Iran scrambled to release hostages ---- with no plan at all ---- just because they saw Reagan taking the Oath on TV and it had nothing to do with the Algiers Accords that had been worked on for weeks by Warren Christopher.

What's that Pookie? You don't know what the Algiers Accords were?

Like you don't know how the Electoral College works?

We prolly already did this but some cretin bumped the thread.

Hey look, pogo's still trying to save face after becoming my sigline. Isn't that cute?

Hey look, umpteen years later and Twinkletoes still hasn't learned how to read.

See post #522, Shirley.

See your original misread, Madge. Then try to make it say what you're trying to claim it says.

It's entertaining.

Poor, demented, rightards... The hostages were released while Carter was still president.

Cronkite was first to announce their release on the air, as seen in this clip at the 9:55 mark...

They made damn sure the hostages were leaving Iranian airspace BEFORE Reagan's swearing in ceremony was finished. They knew Carter wouldn't do shit, but they were scared shitless that Reagan would.

Yeah Reagan sure showed those Islamic Terrorist that killed all those Marines in Beirut how tough he was. What was that operation called? Cut-n-Run, was it?

 

[S.J.]

what a twelve-year-old. Unfortunately it was already inked in Algeria, before it happened. You got snookered by The Media yet again. After all, the idea that Reagan's mere presence sends jets into the air in fear, DOES sell more comic books. Inconveniently, history says that's bullshit.

Yeah, I'm sure the media wanted Ronald Reagan to look good. Keep talking, moron. First you try to excuse Carter's failure by saying Reagan made a deal with Iran to keep the hostages until after the election, which is utterly ridiculous, now you're saying Carter brilliantly and skillfully negotiated their release by giving them their money back (but it was so complicated it took right up to the last minute to get it done). Watching you morons struggle to make Carter out to be anything other than an epic failure is great entertainment. One has to wonder who is dumber, you or Carter.

Failure for whom?

Under Raygun we became more dependent on foreign sources of energy. So the international oil companies got what they wanted.

 

[Faun]

You are severely retarded. Here's a third reference. This one is a New York Times article which explains how the funds were not released until inauguration day... rendering you even more wrong than you were previously...

Once the escrow account was established, major American banks electronically transferred $5.5 billion to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which in turn transferred this amount and the Iranian assets it already held into the escrow account in the Bank of England. The agreement with Iran required that the Bank of England certify that the escrow account held $7.955 billion before Iran would be obliged to release the hostages.

The Bank of England made the necessary certification early this morning. When the 52 hostages had departed from Iranian air space, the Government of Algeria certified to the Algerian central bank, which controlled the escrow fund, that the hostages were free, and it, in turn, instructed the Bank of England to transfer the funds out of the escrow fund.

UNFROZEN ASSETS RECIEVED SO FAR BY IRANIANS COME TO $2.9 BILLION​

Wrong again, kid. The Democrats were criticizing Reagan AFTER he began his presidency for not releasing the Iranian assets according to Carter's promise. And to show how fucking dumb you are, why would Carter deliberately wait until Inauguration Day to release them, to make SURE he lost the election??? It didn't happen until the last minute because they wanted to humiliate him as much as possible BEFORE that "war monger" Reagan took over. THEN, they let them go. Damn, you're dumb.

Your stupidity never ends, does it, rightard?

Again....

It seemed within reach. After months of negotiations the United States had agreed to release several billion dollars in Iranian gold and bank assets, frozen in American banks just after the seizure of the embassy. The government of Iran, now involved in a war with neighboring Iraq, was desperate for money and therefore seemed willing to release the hostages. The Iranians refused to communicate directly with the president, or any other American, so Algeria had agreed to act as an intermediary. This arrangement slowed down the negotiating process.

[...]

Then came a series of small, nerve-racking crises that slowed down the process. At one time that last Sunday, Lloyd Cutler, one of the White House attorneys, told the president there was a delay in the transfer of assets–the Federal Reserve Bank of New York did not have its part of the money!

[...]

Then came another delay. The Algerian negotiator sent word that the Iranian bank officials did not agree with the terms of accountability in the banking agreements.

more...​

Funny how all those delays and crises all seemed to disappear on Inauguration Day, huh moron? As luck would have it, it all came together just minutes before Ronald Reagan officially took office. What a coincidence!

My goodness, you're especially stupid. Carter was trying desperately to get the hostages freed and his time was quickly running out on inauguration day. It was no coincidence that the money was freed up that day. It was the culmination of determination to get the hostages released.

Jimmy Carter would say later, "No matter who was with me, we watched the big grandfather clock by the door." Time was running out, for it was Tuesday, January 20, 1981. The scene was the Oval Office. In just hours this president would leave it for good, and a new leader, Ronald Reagan, would move in. As the clock ticked the time away, Carter tried to resolve a crisis that had almost destroyed his presidency. He was close, very close, and as he said, "At stake were the lives of 52 precious human beings who had been imprisoned in Iran for 444 days–and almost 12 billion dollars of Iranian assets."

You'll believe anything, won't you?

You haven't offered anything other than, "nuh-uh," in response. That, and your idiocy that Reagan's mere presence scared the crap out of the country which contributed to bombing our troops, killing 241 U.S. servicemen.

I guess you must have forgotten the gas lines in the late 70's because Carter had us dependent on OPEC. It would naturally follow that you don't remember gas prices tumbling after Reagan lifted restrictions on our American companies to find alternative sources. Looks like you're wrong again.

You double down on the stupidity, don't you? Go back and read what I said (if you can). We WERE dependent on OPEC under Carter. That's why prices went through the roof when they decided to cut production and limit supply. Reagan broke their back with oil deregulation. The prices came down BECAUSE we were no longer dependent on the M.E. for our energy needs. Gawd, you're stupid.

LOLOLOL

Flees the caricature who lost this debate year a ago with the idiocy that the country which helped blow up 241 U.S. servicemen under Reagan, was afraid of Reagan; and has posted nothing but, "nuh-uh," ever since. Meanwhile, I posted article after article of how Carter negotiated the deal which got the hostages freed; along with the video where Walter Cronkite announced the release of the hostages while Carter was still president.

Bye, loser.

 

[S.J.]

Carter was a weakling who was bitch slapped up one side and down the other by the Ayatollah and by Breznev. He was powerless to negotiate anything because he was seen as a joke (even more so than Obama). He was laughed at and toyed with for his entire one term. The notion that he had anything to do with the release of the hostages is laughable.

 

[Kosh]

I always assumed he had to deal with a congress of the other party but i just checked and that is false. Democrats had huge majorities in both houses!

During his first two years dems held the senate 61-38 ( 1 indy} and the House 292-143

His next two years it was 58-41 ( 1 indy) and 277-158.

He prolly could have made a lot of changes if he wanted to, but chose not to. I like that. In particular, he didn't start any wars though the bankers and news media tried to push him into a war with the staged Iran hostage crisis of 1979. He was NOT a weak president. He stood up to the war profiteers.

Because the far left would not help him when he did not blindly sign their Healthcare law..

Yyyyyyeah unfortunately Sprinkles, it's also documented. And dated.

I remember when Carter was running for reelection and liberals would try to defend his record. I would ask them what he had done, and the only thing they could ever say was "Well, he kept us out of a war for 4 years". Of course he did, he was a pussy.

That the hostages were released as Reagan took office, that is correct!
