So Ronnie Ray-gun is hyped as a 'strong' POTUS, while Jimmy Carter was dissed as a 'weak' POTUS [largely due to the Iranian Embassy Hostage crisis]. First of all let's look at the background of both men. Reagan's career began as a 'B-rated' actor [IE: at-least 1 {or more} notch(es) below the top tier actors of his time]. Circa 1966 he then 'acted' like Cali's 'acting' Gov, & then in 1980 he [along w Mr CIA Casey & Mr CIA / 'Skull {duggery} & Bones' Bush Sr] 'Oct Surprised' Carter to scam his [their] way into the Oval Office as 'acting' POTUS.

Jimmy Carter is a grad of the US' Naval Academy & was a nuclear engineer who held the rank of USN Lt-Commander. He was the 'Skipper' [or 'XO'] of a nuclear-sub & apparently a top aid to Adml Rickover as he was developing the USN's nuclear fleet. - } On Dec 12, 1952, an accident w the experimental NRX reactor at Atomic Energy of Canada's Chalk River Lab caused a partial meltdown, resulting in millions of liters of radioactive water flooding the reactor building's basement. This left the reactor's core ruined. Carter was ordered to Chalk River to lead a U.S. maintenance crew that joined other American and Canadian service personnel to assist in the shutdown of the reactor. The painstaking process required each team member to don protective gear and be lowered individually into the reactor for 90 seconds at a time, limiting their exposure to radioactivity while they [under Carter's command] disassembled the crippled reactor... {

After his military service Carter ran the family peanut farming biz, until in the 1960s he entered Georgia politics & became GA Gov in 1971. Then in 1976 Carter got elected POTUS beating out 'Warren Commission cover-up guy' Jerry ['Oatmeal Man'] Ford.

Well we all know how Reagan went out. Apparently at-least up until a couple yrs ago, Carter's mind was {is} still razor-sharp, even at age 100. The one thing IMO Reagan had going for him [beside those shady CIA guys Casey & Bush Sr] over Carter, is Reagan's tenure in 'Holly-Weird' showed him the power of media PR to shape the minds of much of the public into believing something / anything, even if it's just total BS!!

Not only does the notorious 'Oct Surprise' scam a scandal re the Reagan / Bush Sr / Casey regime, it also seems quite the scandal for Ayatollah Khomeini. From 'Oct Surprise' we got, 'Iran-Contra' which led to the crack-coke crisis of the mid-later 1980s into the 1990s. We also got the BCCI Bank scandal which IMO was directly tied to the 'Savings & Loans' scam-scandal / crisis of the 1980s into the 1990s [the Bush family was apparently deeply involved in that one, too].

Connolly has a lot of dirt and blood on his hands. The Secret Service did a lot of Dirty Work in Dallas and Connolly was advising them and later he becomes Secretary of the Treasury under Nixon. The Department of Treasury is in charge of the Secret Service.
