The liberal media including Chris (thrill up my leg) Matthews are now seeing the similarities between the Carter and Obama. Matthews even called BHO, President O'Carter.

"Comparisons between the Obama White House and the failed presidency of Jimmy Carter are increasingly being made—and by Democrats.
Walter Mondale, Mr. Carter's vice president, told The New Yorker this week that anxious and angry voters in the late 1970s "just turned against us—same as with Obama." As the polls turned against his administration, Mr. Mondale recalled that Mr. Carter "began to lose confidence in his ability to move the public." Democrats on Capitol Hill are now saying this is happening to Mr. Obama."

The sooner that President Obama becomes former President Obama, the better. I am looking forward to the comparisons of Obama and Carter as former presidents. Carter recently claimed that his former presidency has been "superior" to those of other living former presidents.

IMO, Carter has been as bad a former president as he was a sitting president and with Obama's ego, I expect that he will immediately begin disputing Carter's claim to the title of the best ex-prez ever beginning in early 2013.

I at least liked Carter!

I never did and never will. He helped put the Iranian Islamic whack jobs into power and he has never taken any responsibility for any of his many failures. Carter had an opportunity to confront evil in his own time and he chose instead to cower appease it. And now he has the audacity to proclaim himself as a "superior" former president. If Carter had been president in 1940, we might all be speaking German today.

It is a toss-up between Carter and Obama as to which one makes me more nauseous when they start speaking. Carter even attacked Ted Kennedy last week for helping to down his own health care plan more than three decades ago. Nobody enjoyed criticizing Teddy the more than me, but the time for Carter to vent was before Kennedy assumed room temperature.

Billy was the classier of the two Carter brothers and by far the most likable, IMO. With Billy, there was never any doubt that he was a patriotic American capitalist and he never took himself too seriously.

I agree with everything said. Obama is looking more and more like good ole' Jimmy, and it's no ones fault but his own.

How about the naive ones that put him there?????

:Thumbs: Exactly! I disagree with Obama on almost every major issue but nobody can say that he did not personally warn us what kind of president he would be.

Too many people simply dismissed or remained willfully ignorant of the many promises that Obama made to the left wing fringe groups during his primary campaign. Too many people also believed that Obama would adopt more moderate positions once elected, as Bill Clinton did.

Instead, we got Jimmy Carter II! Jimmy Carter without any private sector experience and without Jimmy's moral compass.

Each and every person who voted for this socialist bears some responsibility for the current mess. Polls show that independents and moderates have learned their lesson for now - but it is the same lesson that the original Jimmy Carter taught us.

Unfortunately to many dismiss criticism of President Obama as a racist argument instead of a policy or ideological argument. And those in the Democratic party/leaning who continue down that path are only hurting themselves
