Let us also remember Carter is the one who sold the stinger missiles to Bin Laden. The same ones that was later fired on US troops!

Just remember it was a Democrat Bill Clinton that signed the trade agreement with China!

#1: Historically the greatest increases in the average standard of living in the United States were during the years of the lowest redistrubition of wealth. It is hubris to think you can manipulate the laws of economics.
#2: How many Nobel Laureate Economists does it take to convince one liberal that central planning does not work at a federal level? Trick question, today's liberals are far too obtuse and closed-minded to listen to anyone that disagrees with them.
#3: The only difference between Obama and Carter is the color of his skin. If Obama, in fact, does not want to make it about race... why should we vote for him when Carter f-ed up the economy to a point of double digit inflation with high interest rates?

I read comments bashing large coroporations and CEOs for making money.... isn't that the basis for capitalism? Democrats eschew the idea of a 'trickle down effect' painting it like scraps from a table... How do employees work if not for economic growth and the creation of wealth? How does the government function if not for their taxes? Do you think people making minimum wage pay more in taxes than the benefits they receive?
Also, wasn't jimmy carter more unpopular than bush?

News for Kids: Gather 'round for one of Grandpa McCain's favorite stories. It's a majestic tale about Old King Carter and a handsome young prince. Grandpa says he would be a much better king than the prince. Grandpa says lots of crazy things!

I think both should try to figure out what they are going to do with thier term. Obama promises change without to many specifics. McCain promises to hold the line on big goverment.
If Obama and McCain were selling cars, I think Obama would sell me one, but I most likely would find John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, and a host of others in the trunk. I lean towards McCain trying to hold down the tax and spenders.

The cowardly Obama would make the "Peanut Farmer" seem like Teddy Roosevelt;

I have no problem with the comparison! I like both Obama and Carter, so much so I've proclaimed it! ObamaCarter.com

Limbaugh said Dumbo was Carter's second term a month ago.

Well now; Carter was the worst President we ever had (and continues as the worst ex-President we ever had); Mondale suffered a humiliating defeat; Obama is following in their footsteps. He can not learn the job quickly enuf. Sorry.
