In Order for Obama to secure his place as the worst president in history he must top the Jimmy Carter Gas Lines and Hostage Crisis. Under the Carter plan you were allowed to get in the Gas Lines if your tag ended in a certain number on certain days. Inflation was about 20%. Looks like he is really going to try.
Well, he’s already declared the Republicans ‘hostage takers’ so he’s on the right track. He’s giving it his all.
During the Carter gas crisis, caused by OPEC if I remember rightly, it was necessary to have different numbers go on different days. I lived across from a gas station. The first few days the lines were so long that people ran out of gas before they could buy it. Then it was determined that by having different numbers use different days, the lines would be a lot shorter and quicker. I started making money by selling sandwiches to long waiting drivers. Then with the change to the number system, my little business fizzled. ;-)
