this article pretty much sums it up. what the previous administration did was evil and immoral and as a country we cannot move forward until we fully repudiate this and hold those responsible accountable.
i can't imagine this book having anything of interest in it. he was never particularly cerebral when in office, and he hasn't been gone long enough to have any interesting perspective on things. Maybe if you're interested in his life-story, -- his faith, his family etc -- it might be a decent read. but otherwise -- blahhhh.
From the guy who makes a living around here by copying and pasting posts from conservative blogs and adding no commentary.
You must be very young. Jimmy Carter easily holds that distinction, but Barack Obama is giving Carter a run for his money.
I didn't really like his politics, but, much like Bill Clinton, he seems like he would be a cool guy to have a beer with. Oh wait...
Please explain how Carter was worse than Bush. Which guy inherited a budget surplus and turned it into record deficits? Which guy allowed the worse terrorist attack ever on American soil to happen on his watch? I could go on, but I'd really just like to know what Carter did that was worse than Bush in your mind.
Aside from his resounding legacy of failure in the Iran hostage crisis that he helped create, he gave us an oil crisis where lines of cars stretched for blocks and blocks as people tried to get gasoline; his record of appeasement in foreign relations; and the creation of a nuclear waste storage crisis that persists to this day when all he had to do was re-process the spent rods. Those are the epic failures that come to mind immediately.
Because uh, well, he didn't let us beat the Rooskis in the Olympics and uh, stagflation (I don't know what that means, but he did it), and hostages, and, uh, he made America feel bad.
Bush failed miserably as a president, diplomatic speaker, leader and human being. This "book" is nothing more than a sympathy-driven defense for people to forgive him of such poor decisions and leadership. I won't forgive nor will I forget those 8 years of American regression. He ought to at least ask his father to write a few chapters on decency.
An oil crisis and a nuclear waste storage crisis are worse than hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and tens of thousands of American soldiers being killed in a war that was unprovoked? A hostage situation in Iran is worse than the fact that Bush had seven years and failed to capture or kill the main guy behind 9/11?
