The worst President in my lifetime. He is the one responsible for the mess in Iran. It gave a base to Islamofacism which has given us among others El Qaeda.

I really do not understand these peoples' mind-sets but it's so entrenched that they refuse to hear anything that contradicts them or even look at the evidence to the contrary.

Jimmy Carter is a decent man of conscience. he was double dealed by Reagan's people on the Iran hostage crisis. Reagan gets into office and hey presto...they are released. What deal did Reagan do with Iran?

How did Reagan get into this? He did not tell the American people that racism got him elected?
