Its not just 8 years.

He tripled the national debt to learn for what Jimmy Carter told the US in the 1970s, and which has been jeered at by the right ever since.

No real argument here.

I just think it is funny after all the trashing of Jimmy Carter by the right, that something like this is true because Bush said it.  In two years they will be trying to convince the rest of us that his statement about getting off of foreign oil was based on flawed intel.

I did not vote to put George "Flawed Intel" W. Bush and Dick "Shotgun" Cheney in the White House.

Well even a broken clock is right twice a day. It's one of the few times Carter was right.

I'm looking at this from a historical perspective, not being alive at the time, but isn't it true that former President Carter attempted to address several issues ... issues that are haunting us today?
 
Again, looking at it from a historical perspective, and I will admit that most of what you read about him is very critical, but it also seems as if he took over a nation lacking trust and confidence after Vietnam and Watergate ... a nation also in the middle of a recession. Weren't those things in place, when he took office?
 
It would be nice to hear a discussion about former President Carter, from people that lived through his term in office. It would be a bit of a hijack ... but then again, how much value can really be placed on President Bush now telling us we need to get off oil?

Status: offline 		When Bush tries to get natural gas and oil from our own soil, the nutty enviromentalists supported by the Democrats block him at every turn. Remember Anwar? We havn't built a new refinery in this Country in over 30 years. President Bush isn't responsible for what has happened to our non existent energy policy. He needs the support of Congress. Where was Clinton?????

You never have to build more coal or nuclear power plants because you don't have to plug those cars in, you never have to get environmentalists to approve more lead mines and lead smelters because their batteries are magical... heck, they practically run on Elf farts and Pixie dust.
