When people take the time to talk about what Carter did and didn't do, the most important thing is rarely mentioned.

Carter understood the approaching calamity of man-induced climate change would eventually devastate the world, and had the country on tract to turn things around. Saint Reagan threw all that out the window, and shifted the emphasis back to fossil fuels.

If you take away our country's reliance on oil from the middle east back in the late seventies or early eighties we might have gotten to skip going to war over our oil supply.

Okay, the coverage is already over the top.

A republic should not act this way when a civil servant passes on.
Jthomas made the point, I'll say it again. The country is so disgusted at the gasbag in office now that the coverage helps somehow.

I've got a bad bladder and gave up alcohol better than thirty years ago, but when the loathsome POS in office now dies, I'm going to get royally drunk and party like it's 1999.

Make sure if I am still around you invite me to the party! OTOH you may need to rent Bryant Denny to handle the crowd!

I thought this was supposed to be about the passing of George H. W. Bush? Instead it became about Carter and of course someone could not go without mentioning Trump. Thank you all for reminding me once again why I for the most part stay away from the political threads.

In George W. Bush's eulogy today he said that his father. paraphrasing, always said "there was good in everyone, but sometimes you had to look hard to find it". George H.W. Bush apparently never met Donald Trump.

Neither did Will Rogers.

You think putting a "retired" porn star back to work is or putting a sleazy lawyer out of work is bad? I call that a win/win. ;)

This thread has drifted all over the place. It happens often than here. Sorry you were disappointed.

Over the years, when someone checks in on a thread because they want to gripe or don't like the content, others suggest they are not required to post in it.

The last president to serve in combat. I wonder if we’ll ever have another.

The last one to be in a battle while in office was, I think, Abraham Lincoln.
I heard a podcast about that not long ago. He went and watched a battle against the advice of his staff. Eisenhower went to Korea during the war.

I think Madison actually led some troops during the siege of Washington during the War of 1812.
