Carter didn't "give" us Reagan. All Carter gave us was a major screw job. Our involvement in the Middle East today can be traced directly to Carter's incompetence in foreign policy. We ultimately went into Iraq not because of Bush, but because of Carter.

Carter didn't beget Reagan. Reagan begat Reagan. He was a figure on the national political scene going back to the '64 presidential campaign. What we have to realize is that Reagan is gone and won't be coming back. I don't see a Reagan waiting in the wings for 2012 (no, Palin isn't Reagan). Until there is, I really, really fear that the only one waiting in the wings in 2012 will be either Obombah or Hillary. Either one will be the sure end of the Republic as we know it.
