MISERY REPEATS ITSELF

This is a true but strange story which proves that misery can indeed repeat itself, that those unwilling to learn their lessons from history are doomed to repeat it.

Jimmy Carter was born in 1937, the year of the Ox.
Barack Obama was born in 1961, the year of the Ox.
24 years apart.

Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital.
Barack Obama was the first president to be born in two hospitals.

In 2002, Jimmy Carter received a Nobel Peace Prize.
In 2009, Barack Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize.
7 years apart.

Jimmy Carter ran his family's peanut farm.
Barack Obama's favorite snacks are chocolate-peanut protein bars.

The names Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama each contain eleven letters.
The names Gerald Ford and George Bush each contain nine letters.

Barack Obama has a pet dog named Bo.
Jimmy Carter had a pet dog named Bozo.

Jimmy Carter is a distant cousin of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy.
Barack Obama is a distanced relation of countless half-brothers and half-sisters.

Jimmy Carter had an embarrassing brother named Billy.
Barack Obama has an embarrassing brother named Abongo.
The names Billy Carter and Abongo Obama each contain eleven letters.

Billy Carter had his own beer.
Barack Obama had his own beer summit.

Jimmy Carter pardoned draft dodgers and later re-instated the draft.
Barack Obama claimed to have registered for the draft a year before it was re-instated.

Both President Carter and President Obama bailed out automobile manufacturers.

Both President Carter and President Obama were concerned with the issue of nationalizing health care coverage.

Both President Carter and President Obama chided Americans to get over setting the thermostat at whatever temperature they wanted.

Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama opposed Gitmo and the war against Saddam Hussein and supported Hugo Chavez.

In 2000, Carter severed ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, saying the group's doctrines did not align with his Christian beliefs.
In 2000, Obama severed ties with the Trinity United Church of Christ, saying he could no more distance himself from Jeremiah Wright than he could disown an uncle.

Jimmy Carter was voted out of office with a 34% approval rating and a rising misery index.

President Ronald Reagan once said, "A recession is when your neighbor is out of work, a depression is when you are out of work, and a recovery happens when Jimmy Carter is out of work." He also said that facts are funny things.

Can history repeat itself? Only you can decide.

Good list, but you left off Jimmy's Iran and what will obama do?

History is set to repeat something there, thanks to obama.

GREAT MEN REPEAT THEMSELVES
As recited by Jethro Burns, on the Homer & Jethro album “Wanted for Murder” (1966)

This is a strange but true story that proves that great men indeed repeat themselves, that greatness indeed follows the same pattern.

The facts depicted here are strange almost to the point of incredibility.

Both of the great men we will tell you about are concerned with the triumph of good over the black forces of evil.
Both of these great men are rich,
And both of these great men have searching blue eyes.

The name Lyndon contains 6 letters.
The name Batman contains 6 letters.

At Batman’s side stands the Boy Wonder.
At Lyndon’s side stands the Wonder Boy.

The names Robin and Hubie each contain 5 letters.
The names Washington and Gotham City each contain 10 letters.
The names Riddler and Wallace each contain 7 letters.
The names Mr. Robert S. McNamara and Commissioner Gordon each contain 18 letters.
The name Castro lacks one letter having the same number as Penguin.
The names The Bat Plane and Air Force One each contain 11 letters.

Batman’s Batmobile is in reality an experimental model Lincoln Continental.
Lyndon’s Lincoln Continental is in reality an experimental Batmobile.

Behind the Caped Crusader stands a young bird named Robin.
Behind the Tall Texan stands an old crusader named Byrd.

Bank robbers tremble when Batman spreads his net.
And bank presidents tremble with what Lyndon nets from his spread.

If you subtract the year of Lyndon’s birth, which is 1908, from the year he graduated from high school, which is 1924, you get 16.
Add 16 to 36, because Lyndon is the 36th president, and you get 52.
There are 52 weeks in a year, 7 days in a week.
Add 2 for the number of family beagle hounds and you get 9.
The square root of 9 is 3.
Divide this by a wife and two daughters and you get 1,
And there is only one Batman.

OBAMA is Clinton II

NOT Carter II

Only difference is Clinton did not have a super majority and after 94 he had a GOP controlled Congress

Obama has implemented all the things Clinton couldn’t because e he didn’t have that Super majority— Hillary Care—Homos in the Military everything else Clinton did Obama did

I understand Jimmuh has been given prime-time bloviating time at the Democrat convention. He needs to include the following line in his speech....”I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Barack. Because of your stewardship of the nation, I’m no longer the worst president in history...”

“Jimmy Carter was the first president to be born in a hospital.”

That’s really surprising. Even JFK born at home, interesting.

Carter was born in 1924. He graduated from Annapolis in ‘46, and served until ‘53, when he resigned his commission to run the peanut plantation.
