Man. The guy can grow peanuts, build thousands of houses, kick cancer's ass, and is brilliantly insightful.

No wonder he lost reelection. He's competent. I'm kinda shocked he won in the first place. We didn't deserve him, and we still don't.

Well, between that and Reagan and Iran Hostage Crisis.

That and his own party turned against him when it became apparent he cared more about the country than their profits

The guy facilitated crimes against humanity in Indonesia and Afghanistan. I'd rather an incompetent war criminal than a cold blooded architect of genocide.

He can also fund and arm the Indonesian government while it commits genocide in East Timor

And he wasn't competent. He squandered a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate for two years by sitting to the right of both chambers of Congress, and ended up heralding the deregulation and deunionization that we blame Reagan for.
