Jimuh Blames Teduh

Some twenty years ago I saw Jimmy Carter giver the commencement speech at Emory, Gorbachev was in the group of dignitaries. Ten years before that saw him speak at Georgia Tech. Both times he could not shut up about what an evil man he thought Ronald Reagan was.
That Carter believes Kennedy was the obstacle to us not having universal health care is amusing. Both men were well known to be strong supporters of universal health care.  For his part I believe President Carter wanted health care for altruistic reasons. Kennedy I presume was more pragmatic, he was all about building a democratic power base. Health care is a perfect pet project for the democrats, it builds power through via cash channeling and creates a permanent dependent constituency.  To boot, the democrats will have a permanent flag to wave, much like Social Security and Civil Rights, every time the issue of restraint is broached, their trot out the string of unfortunate that would be harmed by blow out of proportion adjustment.
It's all hyperbole.
The comments on the following AJC article are the best part, Jackie had this to say about that....

Bitter, senile, petty, childish, no better words can describe Jimmy Carter who is a legend in his own mind and was a miserable failure as a president. The only things he is good at are denigrating the United States and defending tin pot dictators while kissing their backsides. Go back to Plains and suck on a peanut.

Suck on a peanut, BAWWWHAAAA!!.
I will be sorry when you are gone Jimuh, just wish you would be quiet until then.
