When you hear about what an awful President Jimmuh was, you don't often get a feel for the full spectrum of awfulness Jimmuh truly was. You hear about the astronomical 20+% mortgage rate and the 10+% unemployment rate - those are the obvious things. But Jimmuh probably had less control over those disasters than other actions that were pure Jimmuh, and contributed to the miserable experience of his presidency. How about his reaction to the "Arab oil embargo", the embargo that never was? Jimmuh's meddling with distribution and inventories led to huge lineups for gasoline and artificial shortages all over the country. How about his energy independence initiatives? More nukes? No. Encourage coal production? No. Encourage offshore drilling? No. He put up his silly solar panels to deface the White House, and pushed his moonbat democrat Congress to pass the universally-ignored 55 mile-per-hour speed limit for interstate highways, the single stupidest legislative act since Prohibition. All he accomplished was to make a fortune for CB radio makers, good buddy. And don't forget the whiny Jimmuh, scolding us for the "malaise", and the moonbat symbolism Jimmuh, giving televised addresses telling us to turn down our thermostats while wearing a bulky sweater. How about the preachy, wannabe dictator Jimmuh, with his "mandatory" conversion to the metric system? Jimmuh told us he would kill off inches, miles, and gallons within ten years. I think that is his real legacy. A few kilometer signs went up on highways in moonbat areas, but to this day no one knows or cares what they mean. You can forget about the little embarrassments, like his interview on how he had "lust in my heart" for other women but remained true to Rosalyn, or his interview on the attack by the killer rabbit. You can even forget his stupid decision to boycott the Olympics because the Russians were killing ragheads. But you cannot forget or forgive his monumental incompetence and micromanaging of the military. Proving that an Annapolis graduate can be an absolute military moron, he meddled, minute by minute, in an attempt by an incredibly brave group of Americans heroes to rescue the hostages in Iran. The attempt, with Jimmuh giving directions from 5000 miles away, was catastrophic.
The jug-eared Kenyan may one day be regarded as worse than Jimmuh Carter, but he has a log way to go.
