For those of you who have been around more than 40 years, you might understand what the title US colloquial expression means. Along with the topic of this thread.
I see that Jimmy Carter has voiced that GWB has ruined the US reputation in the World through failed foreign policy decisions. The worst being pre-emptive war.
For those of you who remember the years between 1976 and 1980, the US did not have great stature in the eyes of the World back then either.
For President Carter to claim that the Bush administration has the worst record on foreign policy, one has to either gloss over the Iran hostage crisis, or believe the GWB has really messed things up.
Now, I do hold Jimmy Carter in much higher regard as a person and a man than GWB. Still, even I am somewhat surprised at the level of his criticism of a sitting President.
Not that I disagree with former President Carter’s assessment of the situation the US is in after 6 years under the auspices of GWB. I’m just surprised that he would be so vocal and vehement about it.
