How come Obama is exactly like Jimmy Carter?

The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the United States where 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981, after a group of Islamist students and militants took over the American Embassy in Tehran in support of the Iranian Revolution.[1] President Carter called the hostages "victims of terrorism and anarchy," adding that the "United States will not yield to blackmail."[2]

The episode reached a climax when, after failed attempts to negotiate a release, the United States military attempted a rescue operation, Operation Eagle Claw, on April 24, 1980, which resulted in a failed mission, the deaths of eight American servicemen, one Iranian civilian, and the destruction of two aircraft. It ended with the signing of the Algiers Accords in Algeria on January 19, 1981. The hostages were formally released into United States custody the following day, just minutes after the new American president Ronald Reagan was sworn in.

Under Carter failed foreign policy, under Obama failed foreign policy, So those American hostages will have to wait until after the election when Obama LEAVES to be rescued and saved, just like under Jimmy "I love Hamas" Carter.

    A do over is the only honest sollution. the two Hillary and Obama saigned something that mentioned they might abide by DNC regulations and that the delegates from MI and FL does not count quantity. They the two signed it. i don't think of all people needs them to be disregarded or that they 'hate' them...this is purely spin. It replaced into the GOP celebration in FL that moved the date interior the 1st place, FYI, in an attempt to make their votes not count quantity. i don't think of there is any way they might count quantity the previous votes because it would be thoroughly unfair...I do think of a do over could ensue as electorate in those states could get a brilliant gamble to vote in this close election. even though, it is costly. possibly the GOP in FL could pay for the redo considering they have been those that messed with it. edit: specific...even though it is desperate interior the States congress..In FL it extremely is controlled by the GOP.
