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 I’ve seen probably since Carter,” Romney said in the spring. “Who would’ve guessed we’d look back at the Carter years as the good ol’ days, you know? And you just go through the president’s agenda over … the last several years and ask yourself, did this help small business or did it hurt small business?”

The irony is that Carter, known for Mideast peacemaking and a combative personality, harbors no particular ill will toward his tormentor....

- Fox News just reported that Jimmy Carter equated his then with Obama today. Sorry Politico, it's not only the GOP but Carter himself who equates them both kinda like two peas in a pod.

There is one reason why it is unfair to compare BO to Carter: BO doesn’t have the ambition to hammer nails for Habitat for Humanity.

My all-time favorite bumper sticker: “Jimmy Carter - now available in black!”

No, Miss Thrush, the parallels between Carter and Obamugabe are glaringly obvious for anyone with an education in history OR to anyone who was alive during Carter’s time in office.

I suspect Miss Thrush fits neither category.

Frankly I’m suprised an add with Carter and Obama isn’t out there... you have almost exact parallels in their presidencies.. particularly on the handling of the economy and foreign policy.

Jimmy Carter’s foolishness gave us a radical Iran, Obamas is giving us a radical Egypt and Libya... etc.

Bo pinned JC right on BO’s own ass and he is all but flaunting it.

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?

The politico needs to shut up and go back to worrying about what they put in their orifices instead.....

.....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
