Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time the same party controlled everything the way it does now, we had Carter--a democrat--in the white house.
And we all know how that turned out.


What? He won a nobel prize, is that what you mean?
How about double-digit inflation (from 6.8% in 1977 to 12.4% in 1980). The Iran hostage situation/botched rescue attempt (which ended the night of the Reagan's inauguration). High unemployment, despite Carter's attempts to fix it by simply creating government jobs.
Carter Administration, 1977-1981

He did far more good out of office than he did in office...but then that's like saying a pea is larger than a piece of corn.

Just remember, at the DNC, he shared his presidential box with Mr. Michael "Commie Capitalist" Moore.
