Re: Unemployment Lowest in 4 years
Iran knew without a shred of doubt shit just got REAL when Reagan was inaugurated. That release date was no accident. And I highly doubt someone NOT in the Oval Office was negotiating with a terrorist group behind the Oval Office resident's back.SuperHornet wrote:What that tells ME is that the Reagan Campaign had back-channel dealings with the bloody Ayatollah about the timing of the release...SPECIFICALLY to make Carter look bad.CitadelGrad wrote:Iran held American hostages for 444 days during the Carter presidency.

Re: Unemployment Lowest in 4 years
It still was a message, once Reagan was elected in November 1980 it was known that he would be inaugurated President. It's just a date on a calender. Besides, I thought the US didn't negotiate with terrorists? And if we're really going to give Reagan credit for the end of the hostage crisis, then you'll have to give Obama credit for the death of Osama. Because I definitely sure both parties involved had an equal amount of direct input on the matter.AZGrizFan wrote:Iran knew without a shred of doubt **** just got REAL when Reagan was inaugurated.

No, they just waited until they got IN to the oval office to make arms deals with Iran and remove Iraq from the list of state sponsors of terrorismAZGrizFan wrote:Iran knew without a shred of doubt shit just got REAL when Reagan was inaugurated.

Re: Unemployment Lowest in 4 years
Reagan himself didn't necessarily have anything to do with it. Remember that he was the most senile president in history and that he had the most corrupt administration (right under his nose) up until that point. It didn't get worse until Clinton and Obama started orchestrating the corruption themselves. It all happened because Reagan was so senile....CitadelGrad wrote:Interesting theory, but why would Reagan have tried to make Carter look bad on the day that he left office?

Re: Unemployment Lowest in 4 years
Sweet Jesus you might want to stop digging. Reagan wasn't senile in 1980 you fucking moron. And sadly, his administration has proven to be no more or less corrupt than any that have come since.SuperHornet wrote:Reagan himself didn't necessarily have anything to do with it.

Grant and Harding were way more corrupt than Ronnie. Like AZ said, he wasn't senile in 1980. That came much later.SuperHornet wrote:Reagan himself didn't necessarily have anything to do with it.

Btw, after Harding's sudden death (which some still think is a mystery) his wife returned to D.C. and destroyed/burned papers and documents.

Measuring the amount of corruption is tough because so much of it is legal. But I'm pretty sure Reagan is near if not at the top in # of indictments and criminal convictions.
