I agree with you except I don't think Carter was anywhere near as bad as
what we have in the WH now. Carter was dumb and stupid, obama seems
porously destructive.

It has taken three decades, but Americans are finally living through the results of
Reagan's voodoo economics.
Republican fiscal fundamentalism has laid this country low and all the republicans can
offer is more of the same.
Taking from the have-nots and giving to the wealthy has NEVER BEEN proven to work.
The standard of living for working Americans has been cut in half over the last 30 years
and fools like you do not even realize this.
The American people have been hung up by our ankles and had our pockets emptied by supply
side / trickle down / deregulated capitalism and now they are coming for what's left.

You seem to be totally oblivious of the truth.

I don't read Huffingtons either, stupid. When I want the truth about
something I do the historical research that is necessary to find out what
the truth is. And I use multiple sources. I rarely go mouthing out what
some notoriously biased source has to offer. Obviously you're not smart
enough to understand that or to do the research yourself.
I wish more people would do that and maybe then we'd get rid of a lot of the
misinformation and misunderstandings that exist with almost everything
today.

Well now! Calling me stupid?!? Mouthing off about a notoriously biased
source...like you mouthing off about Fox news? And you obviously not
smart enough to read the entire post and didn't see my 'smiley'. Who
is stupid now?
Notice...no 'smiley' this time.
