Unfortunately, in the US, we selectively acknowledge this fact.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #29 October 13, 2006 QuoteWith Carter, we had huge inflation, historically high interest rates, a major energy crisis and a horrible foreign policy record. Iran is the most notable. Boycotting the Summer Olympics really stuck to one particular group - out athletes. The Camp David agreements between Saddat and Begin was no small accomplishment.

You're right, I don't see how Carter would have the balls to do it either. He just did it, and then Clinton did not want to repudiate him. Carter pretended to have Clinton's approval as his representative. Clinton could have said that he had no authorization to negotiate on his behalf, but did not.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
