That was the original agreement. Unfortunately, neither he nor the people who will vote for him have obviously never cracked open a history book so they wouldn't know that. I remember when all that was being negotiated and the idiot Republicans back then were saying, "Carter gave away 'our' canal!" How the HELL is it OUR canal when it's in another country? It was bad enough that we overthrew the government at the time in order to get the canal built, I'd say the least we could do was honor that part of the agreement and give it back.
