Carter was ahead because the people answer the polls were drunk off their ass.

I remember the 70s a little. Even at 8 years old I knew the country was fucked up.

Sorry Son, we can't drive anywhere today because our license plate ends in an even number.

WTF Carter?

- Carter was a hack. Some good ideas but he was a hack -- nm - Bacon Jun 8, 21:56 1
  - How so? I don't understand what you mean by "hack" in this context. - Mop Jun 8, 22:03
- Carter had plenty of great ideas yet was disastrous at execution. But I do not come here to lament a former president. -- nm - Mop Jun 8, 21:41
Again, I say: the fact that even in that environment, an incumbent could have any kind of a lead speaks to the power of incumbency. -- nm - Mop Jun 8, 21:33
the gas shortages were totally OPEC driven. it had nothing to do with Carter -- nm - moles Jun 8, 21:28 6
- When you are President you get credit, and blame for many things you have no control over. It's just how it is. -- nm - Bacon Jun 8, 21:35 5
  - i don't disagree. and by objective measures and indicators, the economy is better now than when Obama took office - moles Jun 8, 21:39 4
    - (Barely true) - Stephen Jun 8, 22:24
    - The problem was Bush had things in freefall and they were falling fast when Obama took office and his first year. - Bacon Jun 8, 21:50 2
      - except he has done stuff about it. he stopped the freefall -- nm - moles Jun 8, 21:52 1
        
        If we don't double dip recession he should be re elected. If we double dip he will get all the blame. -- nm - Bacon Jun 8, 21:53
