    Whygo - spot on. I agree with most of what you said. Though I did have to chuckle a bit at the start. Reagan had the little thing of the hostages to deal with. Now, true enough they were basically released upon his election, but then again isn't that the point? If Carter was reelected would that have happened? So just his presence made things almost instantly better. Folks really don't seem to remember how depressed the country was at the end of the Carter administration both financially and psychologically.

    But that's really an aside. The rest was really well done.

    I like to think that he was released because Reagan was sworn in; I just like the sound of that, and find the idea of a foreign leader being scared of the leader of my country quite amusing. But, I also feel that it was the Ayatollah's way of giving Carter a big middle finger.

    It is likely both.

    I didn't post anything hmmm...
    I think a Presidents term should be changed to 6 years.
    In two more years I wonder if Obama would be reelected.
    You'd have to be pretty great to get two terms then.

    It really makes me sad when people go away from here ...
    I don't see some of the posters in this thread anymore.

    I think it should be changed to a six-year term but I also think it should be limited to a single term. Running for re-election - pandering, meeting with donors, debating, etc. - these are all things a sitting POTUS doesn't have time to do. Do the job you were elected to do and let the next guy battle it out.

    I agree that is a very good idea.
