When the going gets tough, Republicans get Jimmy Carter.
Republicans and their surrogates spent much of Thursday pinning the Carter kick-me sign on Barack Obama, portraying the current commander-in-chief as a Carter-esque wimp unwilling to challenge Islamist militants raging outside U.S. consular buildings in Libya, Yemen and Cairo.[...]
[...]It was the most anti-small business administration Ive seen probably since Carter, Romney said in the spring. Who wouldve guessed wed look back at the Carter years as the good ol days, you know?

JC was giving the world away to the Moslems and at the same time to the Soviets. This time around it is to the Moslems while China is surreptiously busily up much of the world.
Wasn’t it the DNC who made Jimmuh Carter a keynote speaker at the Democratic convention? Did Bush make them do that?
Obama (and the media) only wish he were as successful and dynamic as Pres. Carter!
May the editors and writers of Politico find that their Viagra was purple on-sale candy. Who cares anything about them, anyway?
.....after all, it's just so vitally important to the Democratic platform and
.....we all need to recognize that braindead people only have feelings....well.... the kind that Chris Matthews gets up his leg once in awhile. /sarcasm - spasm
That’s not fair to Jimmy Carter.
