Question: Does anyone see similarities between Obama and Carter?

Both had this relaxed, cool personable appeal. Both tried to cast themselves as intelectual and diplomatic, but Carter got us into some real jams and Biden predicts... Both want to spend away our problems. But, I think, Obama is Carter on steroids. Are we in for Stagflation again?

Carter ran as a conservative.

And, I might add, both ran as Beltway outsiders wanting change.

Obama won’t be nearly as wimpy as Carter was. This could be a plus if Obama stands up against our enemies abroad (I’m not saying he will) and a big negative if he brings his executive power to bear against us conservatives.

Q. What is the difference between Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter?

A. Jimmy Carter waited until after the inauguration to ruin the economy.

Yeah, and Hussein ran as bipartisan - so both were liers. Actually, Carter got the nomination by coaligning every fringe group into a majority coalition, another Obama method.

How can a guy who’s never had a real job know what “executive power” is?

We saw glimpses of the Obama ire when the MSM started actually asking him questions instead of lobbing softballs. Methinks he could get street crazy.

“They both hate Jews.”

Ironic, especially after doing so well with the voters in “Hymie Town”...

Good point. Hussein spoke to his people right off the bat, didn’t he?

I am so afraid he is going to turn against Israel. Bush must have been, too, as he did some last minute preparations for Israel before he left office so they will be in shape to take care of Iranian business.

Not really, liberal Jews pretty much hate the Jews in Israel, too.

I think they (the liberals) Jews see the Israeli Jews as a reminder of how they should be and how they should act.

It like the little goth kid who burns his daddy’s Baptist church.

Never confuse JINOs with actual Jews. That’s like holding Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy up as model Roman Catholics.

Actually, Obama is like Carter on Crack.

I hope I am wrong, but I am all but convinced that we are near a full blown Depression. Strangely, I am no longer worried about it though.

Both are raging idiots and, hopefully, both were/will be one term “wonders”.
