He’s not Carter; he’s Dukakis.

Nope. James Buchanan.

At least Carter and Dukaka were governors. At least they held some sort of executive power. Obama is not even in that category.

Has there ever been someone that has not held executive power of some sort before being elected? Mayor, General, Governor? I know there have been Senators and Reps, but they have been longstanding.

In my mind, the only one I can think of is Lincoln. And he ain’t no Lincoln.

“””He’s not Carter; he’s Dukakis.””””

My thoughts exactly. When Obama made the “above my pay grade” comment, I immediately thought of Dukakis looking like a doofus in the Army tank.

He’s Malcolm X in a Dukakis Monkey Suit in blackface. The last person to pull this off was Julie Andrews in Victor Victoria.
