Opinion of Jimmy Carter

[??????????]

Freedom Fighter. Not a very good President but no worse than the current incumbent. He meant well. When things went wrong, he felt it

And giving away the Panama Canal was a good thing, huh?

Sure.  It's just an early example of outsourcing.  It's not as if we've been denied its use have we?  The only other equitable alternative would have been to have offered Panama the opportunity to become the 51st state, but somehow I doubt that the either they or we would have been ready for that then.

Nope, we haven't been denied its use....yet. But let the right company take it over (like the Chinese) and that's very likely to happen, especially if we were to ever go to war with them. The Canal was the last thing the US should have ever given away.

Um, I hope you realize how close the US was to war with North Korea in 1994 before the Carter trip. Because they were going to process plutonium, Clinton was seriously on the verge of a pre-emptive strike against its nuclear facilities... the retaliatory artillery barrage on Seoul would have killed tens of thousands of people immediately.

Clinton's fault! Carter's fault!
Sorry, I'm just simulating the Republican response.

Your party gave away the Panama canal. Good job.

A small price to pay for a non-Republican President.

Small Price? Do you realize what would happen if the US was cut off from the Panama Canal?

Shipping tons are up about 20% since Panama took control.

And? If the Chinese has bought to Canal like they tried to do already and something militarily ever occured they could easily cut us off, which would put us in very bad trouble if we needed the navy, to you know, defend the west coast.
