The End of the Carter Presidency and Iran

Jimmy Carter Library and Museum: Read the Presidential Directives of the Carter Presidency. 

Lets Get Real:

Folks this blog has been searching for the most dramatic footage of the Carter Presidency, but can not even find it on Amazon, in the final hours of the Carter Presidency the President asked in a TV news crew to film his final dramatic hours in Office.   In the view of this blogger the final hours of the Carter Presidency are the most dramatic ever recorded in the Oval Office, as the President tries to get the Iran hostages home in time before Reagan takes over, this blog recalls seeing it on the BBC but nothing after that, one would have expected to turn up on History Channel or Discovery but this blog has not seen it, thus call out to ALL followers of current events and history, do they have any knowledge of this dramatic and historic footage, where it can be seen or bought.  It is through learning the past folks that we understand the future. 

Iran and the US Congress

The Hill: Reports that Republicans and Democrats in the US Congress are coming together to place pressure on the Oval to take tough action with Iran. One can postulate that the Israeli lobby after the humiliation of the Israeli PM by the Obama White House has sent word out to supporters of Israel to start to place pressure on President Obama. As stated both Carter and Reagan understood the power of the Israeli lobby in its support of Israel. Thus with the win over health care reform and the deal with Russia the White House should not throw their political capital way by going to war with Israel over buildings in its own country.
