Sad to say that memories of 1980 are so short. It took Carter with high interest rates, inflation and the old misery index to bring Reagan, perhaps we have to do it all over again.
Irony is the ones who don’t pay attention are the very ones who can least afford to go back down that road. Self inflicted wounds are the hardest, but lessons must be learned over and over again it seems.
Lather, rinse, repeat...
However this maybe premature, none of my contacts seem to know anything about Fred dropping yet. So we shall see...
The only reason Carter ever got in office in the first place is because of President Nixon. Everyone wanted to put the national shame of Watergate behind us. Carter was a somewhat harmless threat since he had no real agenda. Hillary and Obama do have agendas. Looking back, Carter, the harmless threat ended up being the worst president we have ever had, and if the Soviets had taken advantage of it, it could have been the end for us. What ever we do, we can't stay away from the polls in November just to teach the Republican party a lesson about not being conservative enough.
