Carter is the perfect example of electing an inexperienced president just because of voter discord.......Geez, maybe he did learn something from all the problems he didn't solve while president. 
Reagan cut a deal with the Iranians, or they wouldn't have released the hostages just after he got elected! And John McCain criticizes Barack Obama because he's willing to try to negotiate with the Iranians! http://www.slate.com/id/2192819/ One of Reagan's famous phrases was 'Trust, but verify!' Remember, there are a lot of people in Iran who do not agree with Ahmadinejad. He may have some power, but he's not the only person who decides how things get done in Iran! Reagan cut no deal to free the American hostages held 444 days in Iran by the Ayatollah. Iran feared Reagan. They did not fear Carter. Carter refused to permit American athletes to go to Moscow in 1980 to compete in the Olympics in response to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. And Afghanistan remained under Soviet control. Reagan supplied Stinger missiles and the Soviets were defeated. (I know, I know, Hollywood is trying to claim some left wing Democrat was responsible for funding the Mujahadeen. False. It was Reagan on the advice of William Casey. But that is Hollywood folks; revisionist history. The Democrats actually stood int eh way of our foreign policy in the 80s, just like they are today.) I can still hear the speech: Reagan in Berlin: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." And the wall came down. Ridiculous incorrect revisionist history. Reagan had little to do with the wall coming down. The Soviet Union had simply run out of money after years of overspending on their military. And they realized it was time for a change. Gorbachev had more to do with Soviet Union reforms and the wall coming down than Reagan. Yet starry-eyed Republican Reagan admirers all buy the bullcrap spewed by talking head neocons instead of what actually happened. That's why they trotted out Mitt Romney, hoping to resurrect Reagan's tired old ghost to lead us to the promised land. Thank God McCain beat him. Even McCain is better than that tree stump. I laugh at the comment Reagan had nothing to do with it. Everyone said Reagan was dangerous; he would cause WWIII. He rebuilt our military, deployed missiles in Europe over strong left wing protests, funded freedom fighters from Nicaragua to Afghanistan, and called the Soviets for what they were: an evil empire. Who would have thunk it in 1980 that the Soviet Union would collapse? No one. Go to You Tube and play the Reagan's speech at the gate. The call of freedom; the idea that man is free. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." Hell, even Reagan's own State Department didn't want him to say this line. LA, LA, LA, LA, LA! (Conservative with his ears plugged despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.) And to think liberals are the poster child for political correctness. It is only the left that squashes dissent. They do it on college campuses; they do it in newspapers; they do it in politics. Excuse me? Who gave us the Patriot Act? The fearmongering, crackdowns on protest and dissent during the last 7 years? Remember the color code warnings, suggestions to duct tape your patio door in case of nuclear/biological/chemical attacks, ban on 7 oz. bottles and illegal searches (GROSS violations of civil liberties) before boarding a plane?
