Jimmy Carter appears to have been the only "outsider" to become president.

And look what they had to do to get him out.

Outsiders are always regarded by insider supporters as naive.

How can you say he was horrible? He saved the currency. He fought runaway double digit inflation that was gifted to him by Nixon. how do you think your Presidency would do if you had to raise interest rates to double digits so as to save the currency because your predecessor passed the buck to you? Also the last time the debt in this country was low was when Carter was Pres. he wasnt all bad..Plus he was honest. You have no idea how badly I desire an honest politician now.

Yes, Nixon handed him the fast transition to petro-dollars.

he wasnt honest....

During the 1976 political campaign, Carter repeatedly told the nation that he was going to get rid of the Establishment Insiders if he became president. But when he took office, he promptly filled his Administration with members of the Council on Foreign Relations (284 to be exact) and The Trilateral Commission, the two most prominent insider organizations in America. Included in this list of members of The Trilateral Commission were Walter Mondale and Dr. Henry Kissinger.





In 1973, Jimmy Carter became a student of Zbigniew Brzezinski , and a founding member of the Trilateral Commission.

On March 21, 1978, "The New York Times" featured an article about Zbigniew Brzezinski's close relationship with the President. In part, it reads: "The two men met for the first time four years ago when mr. Brzezinski was executive director of The Trilateral Commission… and had the foresight to ask the then obscure former Governor of Georgia to join its distinguished ranks. Their initial teacher-student relationship blossomed during the campaign, and appears to have grown closer still."

To think that the teacher in this relationship praised Marxism, and wanted to form a one-world government. And the student was to become ghe President of the united States.

First of all, I doubt that's true.

Second, respecting a president who doesn't lie is a mistake I think. It should be expected that a president will lie. Presidents should lie. The issue should be what they are lying about.

Reporters always have and always will ask questions whose answers, if honest, would affect national security.

It's when they lie like Obama does, continuously and purely for personal political gain, that it becomes a serious problem. It becomes even more of a problem if the lie like Obama does, to protect their own reputation at the expense of American people.

For example, the Secretary of Defense already admitted that he knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack within hours of it happening. Yet, the maker of the film that the administration tried to blame for the attack ended up spending a year in prison. An innocent man spent a year in prison to bolster a lie told by Obama. A lie told purely to enhance his re-election campaign.
