i was born the following July while LBJ was the president. i vaguely remember Robert and Martin being shot, and we moved to GB when i was 5. I do remember the Nixon years, and we moved back to the states in '74 around the time Ford took over.
Jimmy Carter was a big departure from the previous regime, and i remember there was real hope for the economy, then came Ronnie. i still remember all the hoopla about the hostages being released right after Reagan was elected. What a set up. Then the Iran contra business with North. Americans have very short attention spans and even shorter memories.
i pretty much stayed out of touch with politics as a result for many years. Then in 92 i drove all the way back to Chicago right after i moved to Nashville to help elect Clinton. good old Slick Willie managed to not only balance the budget but actually have money left over. Of course the big business and republicans didn't like that so........
We all know that Money runs this country and even more so now that a Company can throw it's entire weight and profit to buy an office.

I just hope the tea baggers keep spewing their BS. give em enough rope............

So true about a 'set up" with what happened with Jimmy Carter and the Iran hostages! You know, we sure do have short attention spans a very short memories! Especially in politics. I hated it that Carter was a one-termer. The man is brilliant.

LOL.. Slick Willie! Thanks for the post.
