I should have put 'final nail' then.. since Eagle Claw was such a failure and the hostages were released just after Reagan won the '80 election and took over.
carter's pretty awesome as an ex-president though.

I had to print this one out. I agree, that some of this myth and idealism began earlier than Reagan.
I also want to know the myth (as I believe it to be) created about Jimmy Carter being the 'worst president' ever. I only see Republicans saying this. Not that's an indicator, but I always found it odd.
^Yeah, I don't get it either. I don't know Carter's presidency inside and out, but when you consider the law breaking of Nixon just a few years before that I don't see how you could consider Carter SOOoo bad. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Carter wasn't a terrible president, on purpose. He was too nice of a guy who was in over his head, IMO. It's not like he didn't try to fix the problems the country was facing.
In the rabid Republican view, Bush can't be blamed for the problems that persist three months after his Presidency, but Carter can be blamed even though he left office 30 years ago.
Bush might not be to blame for 9/11 happening, but he sure as fuck is to blame, for... well, everything else, really. :/
