You obviously were not paying attention to much during Jimmy Carters Watch (which BTW was with a Democratic House and Senate)
... forgetting that the democrats never had control of the whitehouse, the senate, and the house at the same time..."
FDR, JFK, LBJ, and Carter all had Dem House and Senate for their entire terms
Clinton had them for his first 2 years
This is the first time Republicans have controled all 3 since Ike in 1953-55
I am sorry for interrupting the left wing fantasy with some historical fact
All this information was collected from whitehouse.gov and the US House and Senate Websites

Yeah, those gas lines were fun when Carter was President. In PA you could only buy gas every other day based on whether the last number of your liscense plate was odd or even and only if you could find a station that actually had gas. Those 18% interest rates were pretty fun too. I'm sure it's somehow the Republicans fault though that Carter was one of the worst President's ever.
Note to Sykkboy...he has done many great things since with Habitat For Humanity but he was a lousy President.
