What Was Jimmy Carter's Greatest Achievement?

[The Rabbi]

Carter was presdient for 4 years. He signed many pieces of legislation and made many orders. What is he remembered for today? I can think of the Iran hostage crisis, Desert One, the malaise speech, and mandatory draft registration (I was in the first year of those who had to register). Other than that, not much.

Bonus: What will Obama be remembered for?

This is easy….he held the office until Ronald Reagan could win it. Then Reagan fixed the mess ups and put us back on top.

Yeah, Reagan supplied the Iranians with weapons. You know, the same guys who held Americans hostage for over a year? Way to fix up mess ups, Ronnie! Carter will be known for not starting any wars on countries weaker than USA is. Or on any countries at all actually. That's a rarity nowadays.

blahblahblah deflect deflect deflect.
The thread is about Carter, moron. You want to start about Reagan, go ahead.

Carter nearly cried because the Soviets lied to him. Hilarious. But that's better than Obama, who doesnt realize he's been played.

 

[The Rabbi]

and like we all said in 2009, at least Jimmy Carter will die knowing he was no longer the dumbest President ever!

Carter graduated from Annapolis in the top ten percentile of his class. Later, he served on Rickover's Nuclear sub team. This would make him smarter than McCain, who graduated near the bottom and went on to wreck several airplanes. Probably setting a Navy record in that category. Nice try though, for someone like yourself who posts without any knowledge whatsoever.

When was McCain president?
Your post demonstrates that academic accomplishment is no guarantee of performance in office. Both Reagan and Johnson were graduates of 3rd rate schools and both were brilliant presidents.

what about the arms race your boy has created in the middle east with his iran nuke deal of giving billions to the Saudis and Israel for military stuff

[my2¢]

I think he was above average in terms of accomplishments. His most notable one as far as I'm concerned was in serving up tough medicine by appointing Paul Volcker as Federal Reserve Chairman. The hyper-inflation taking place after Vietnam, the Great Society and particularly the multiple Arab oil embargoes was a constant menace throughout the 70's. I think both he and George the 1st Bush don't get enough credit for their service to the country.

Jimmy had a cool brother who made terrible beer.

But to the point. Jimmy taught us how weakness from a military perspective can cause others to form aggression against us. Iran had zero respect for Carter and knew the minute Ronnie took the COM that Iran would be immediatley turned to dust

Amazing the response you get from not just rouge nations, but weak criminal thugs alike when staring down the barrel is the consequence for their actions.

Thus they retreat

Good times

BS. At the time we were great at fighting big wars. We didn't have a rapid deployment force that could respond to events a half a world away. Guess who recommended that we get one? Raygun had nothing to do with the negotiations. The delay in the release was a slap in the face to Carter, not out of fear of anything the corporate shill Ronnie would do.

Rapid Deployment Force, United States (Peter Antill)

Throughout the 1970's, American attention gradually focused on the Persian Gulf. The policy shifted towards a willingness to use military force in the area "as a diplomatic signal, if not yet as a full-blooded counter-intervention force" and a gradual expansion of facilities. However, the Yom Kippur war of 1973, the US / Soviet confrontation and the oil embargo of 1974 which led to an American warning "that American military intervention to protect vital oil supplies" [note 1] was a possibility, served to increase attention on the area as being vital to US national interests and by the mid--1970's "the United States once again began to contemplate the use of military force. . . . to ensure the flow of oil to the West."[note 2] With the new Carter Administration elected, the new President signed Presidential Review Memorandum (PRM) 10, which undertook a evaluation of US strategy. In response to the recommendations, the President signed Presidential Directive (PD) 18 on August 24th 1977. One of the main proposals laid the basis for the rapid deployment force - and in 1978, two Army divisions (82nd and 101st) and one Marine division were earmarked for such duties. There were however no substantial funds allocated and it remained a paper exercise. There were four basic reasons why the move to a Rapid Deployment Force was so slow in the 1970'

 

[Lakhota]

President Carter was the most honorable, or certainly one of the most honorable, presidents in U.S. history.

Bullshit. He was one of the biggest turds in history. Look at what his secret service detail said about him. A true asshole. No wonder you admire him.

That's evil - even for a lowlife scumbag racist like you, Nathan.

Jimmy Carter outside the US is considered to be one of the great Americans. ........

Then that's where he should be.

I do give Carter credit for bringing Egypt and Israel to peace. Other than that, I always thought he led from behind, that he was angry at America......almost a penance that America had to go through for Nixon. Carter hated Reagan. Why? Because Reagan kicked his ass? Bill Clinton beat George Bush. Bush responded by practically adopting him as a son. Carter is a bitter man.....can't tell who he despises worse: Bush or Clinton.

Please detail any Arab oil embargoes past 1973.
Geez libs are stupid.

Teddy and the Dems in congress wrecked Carter as much as anything. He wanted tax cuts a la Reagan but they wanted Dem style programs after years of Pub rule.

"Far out" a slang term from the seventies. What else are you hiding in your lexicon? "keep on truckin?", "Bitchin?" "Don't Bogart?"

Typical response closure which happens when - at a minimum- one lacks an arguable response.
