A strong Nation, by Jimmy Carter: A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others.

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

What he's saying is that under Trump we've become a weak nation!

Carter was an extremely weak President himself. You can have Jimmy we'll keep Trump! Carter has been an embarrassment as much out of office as he was as president. Remember this incident? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2017/10/22/how-jimmy-carter-lost-iran/

Then there was double digit interest rates. Remember those times? Yet I understand he was a successful peanut farmer.

That, and gave away the Panama Canal.
Following the failure of a French construction team in the 1880s, the United States commenced building a canal across a 50-mile stretch of the Panama isthmus in 1904. ... Opened in 1914, oversight of the world-famous Panama Canal was t***sferred from the U.S. to Panama in 1999. Theodore Roosevelt believed that a US-controlled canal across Central America was a vital strategic interest of the country. ... The victorious Panamanians gave the United States control of the Panama Canal Zone on February 23, 1904, for $10 million in accordance with the November 18, 1903 Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty.
Why did many Americans disapprove of giving the Panama Canal to Panama?
They felt like a small nation had humiliated the U.S. by forcing it to give up an important asset. Panamanian rebels had seized the canal, and Carter had agreed to negotiate with them.
According to hospital records, 5,609 died of diseases and accidents during the U.S. construction period. Of these, 4,500 were West Indian workers.
A total of 350 w***e A******ns died.

Someone in his cabinet said he used to go into the oval office and tell them to tell us that's he's working really hard for us.
Then he'd lie on the sofa and sleep all day.

Well, Jimmy Carter is a great person to talk about a weak nation. He was the biggest pussy this country ever had for a president. Do you not remember the Iranian hostage crisis?

Whaddya talkin' about?!?! Jimmy Carter was the absolute worst president in American history. Until that distinction was taken over by Barrack Obama.
I remember inflation being well into double digits during his entire presidency, lines of cars snaking around the block just to get some gasoline, his proposal for gasoline rationing, and his bungling of the Iranian hostage crisis. He told us there was a "crisis of confidence" during his 'malaise' speech, and hectored us that we should turn down our thermostat, shouldn't take trips unless absolutely necessary, and proposed a windfall tax on oil companies.
The Iranians released all the hostages as Ronald Reagan was giving his inauguration speech, something that had consumed Carter's entire presidency. And gasoline rationing quickly became an oil glut. And once Carter's i***tic economic policies were dumped, America's economy turned completely around and came roaring back just like Reagan predicted with his Morning in America speech
Funny how the right leadership always makes things right.

Gosh, you love distorted t***h..

Carter administration did all the work on the release of hostages. ALL!!

Carter signed the agreement, Iran held up release until the morning to the first day of Ronnie in office out of spite for the hard line carter took..

the economic measures to solve stagnation were proposed and engineered by Carter people, who were held over and worked in the Ronnie administration..

We are still trying to recover from Reagan policies of all sorts.. Economic problems to this day..

Ron Reagan cut and withdrew after the k*****g of 250 Marines, the kidnapping of a CIA station chief and the video h*****g of a retired army General, which was delved to Reagan at the white house for his viewing..

But let us not dwell on the past insults, we have much ado coming this week and the t***h of now will have you foaming at the mouth for months..

get ready for it..

Hope you have a fine day..

Good one.... I'm talking about the Card.
Next you'll tell us that this economic boom we're experiencing now is the result of Obama's efforts finally being realized.
Reagan eliminated Carter's i***tic and unworkable policies, root and branch so that America could get back to work.
Trump's doing the same thing with Obama's policies.

Card???

The reason business investment is slowed to near zero has nothing to do with any past president, maybe Reagan, and everything to do with the orange albatross soiling the oval office..

Can you find 2 reasons why trump deeds have disrupted the years long growth he was handed by the President Obama administration??

I can give you a few if you are needing..

Carter should keep his trap shut.
He was nothing.
The joke about him was, he's a sandwich. A little bit of ham and a whole lot of peanut butter.

The economy came back because of Paul Volcker's decision to peg the interest rate at 20%. Something that needs to be done again, in my opinion. Reward the savers and let the spenders do what they've always done-----SPEND. And that would also slow down the spending spree in DC.
