Ford left for Carter to clean up?
Is this due to their Republican Morals or just the State of Denial that they are all living in?

Clinton didn't leave any "messes" for Bush to "clean up." This is their way of saying that they didn't agree with things that Clinton did while in office. Fact is, no President pleases everyone. They have never offered ONE example of something that Bush had to "clean up" since Clinton left office. This is just their way of excusing Bush's lack of attention to domestic issues - or, in fact, any issues that don't have to do with the Iraqi people and the Iraqi government. Bush has, in fact, been an excellent President - to the people of Iraq. It's the people of the United States of America who he has screwed for the past six years.

Clinton did leave a mess and we still don't know exactly how bad he did because every day it's another discovery.
Just what mess did Ford leave for Carter?
Carter authored his own messes. He hired his Annapolis roommate, Stansfield Turner, to run the CIA and the first thing Turner did was fire all the intelligence operatives we had in the Middle East. That's why they had no clue that the Shah was about to be overthrown and our embassy people taken hostage.
He also slashed the military budget and the result of that was that our military couldn't even mount a viable rescue mission to get our hostages back.
You're the one in a state of denial. Do your homework.

Clinton refused to take a tough position on anything. He let the terrorism problem fester for years. There were attacks on international American targets: Cobart Towers, USS Cole, etc. He did not retaliate.
Just because Clinton left a mess does not relate to anyone else. It does not make it excusable or less bad.
BTW, Carter left a horrible mess that Reagan cleaned up. See hostages, oil crisis, 80% tax brackets.

Ford left Carter to clean up? LOL.....now that is funny. Carter ran his own show and he did so very poorly. Ford pardoned Nixon so that issue would just go away and the nation could move on. It was carters programs and orders that were awful.

Ford didn't leave a mess, he was president for 2 years and he didn't do much positive or negative.
Getting off Air force One without falling down was a good day and tripping was a bad day.

properly, is that the comparable Somalia that Bush, Sr. positioned us in? the single Clinton have been given us out of in his first twelve months in place of work? the single that from 2000 to 2006 has suffered remarkable fracturing with the rustic dividing itself into 4 separate entities? the single that has been in consistent civil strife provided that then? confident, Bush has finished as solid a activity there as in Iraq.

republican morals or state of denials
I think both of them
they are living in their dreams cause they do not say reality and they make fantasies some of them are sexual like Clinton . Of course Bush do such things but he manage to hide his dirty things .

They all left their own particular "mess' behind so don't start implying Clinton and his cronies are lily white!
