It Looks Like Carter All Over Again
In the end, Carter lost to Reagan because he dithered too much, because he was just too feckless, because our enemies were running amok, and Carter was trying to make a deal with them instead of acting the way most of us thought a real American leader should act. Then, as now, the media were overwhelmingly behind the Democratic incumbent, but the real world overwhelmed them. Then, it was American hostages in Iran. Now, it is American dead in Libya. Then, it was a mob of Iranian “students” shrieking “death to America” in Tehran and taking over the American embassy . Now, it is jihadi killers in Benghazi gunning down our ambassador and three soldiers, and burning the consulate.
Back then, the symbol of a failed president was a big rabbit. Now, it’s a big bird.
Machiavelli says that once a leader becomes an object of contempt, he’s doomed. Which is Obama’s current condition. Once you become the butt of jokes the aura of leadership is gone forever.
I have real trouble imagining that Obama/Biden can undo this situation. If my political future hinged on the performance of Joe Biden, I’d be in despair. Hell, if my political future hinged on Obama’s performance sans teleprompter, I’d be looking for the foodstamp counter.
Polls or no polls, Obama has been crippled, and the striking similarities with Carter evoke 1980, when lots of polls were calling for a photo finish, and Carter believed to the last minute that he could win.
You will say that Romney is no Reagan. And I will say that back in 1980 hardly anyone knew that Reagan was Reagan. But they knew that Carter was a dithering wimp and they had had enough.

Well said, sir. I hope you’re correct.
I suspect that the general public has gotten over their heretofore hidden phobia, now willing to ask – who the hell is this man-child? To wit,the racism bugaboo has been blunted.
Therefore, even if one is loathe to be associated with the ‘birthers’, surely there are many legitimate questions to be asked.

Again, who is this creature? To be sure, once the aura of ‘The One’ is lifted, the rest is smooth sailing. It is akin to peeling an onion…letting loose many stink bombs in the process.
Obama: Re-elect me of the Bird gets it.
From your lips to Gods ears Mike.
Really Mike? God? Really?
Obama has failed
The worst President ever
Jimmy Carter smiles!
Ah, Jimmeh; a total failure as president, and an embarassment as an ex-president. Unfortunately, the lip from the south goes on and on, like the Eveready battery. Has he no shame, or is he simply senile?
No, it’s not that he is senile. He is simply delusional. He cannot accept that his policies, and thus his political beliefs, were all wrong. Unable to reconcile the discordance, he escapes into his narcissistic fantasies.
He reminds me of, “Quintili Vare, legiones redde!“ (‘Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!’)
Obama will do the same, when he is out of office. Unless, of course, we do the right thing and throw him in jail for Fast & Furious or for other things.
The last 3 Democratic Presidents have all been narcissists. Is it just a Democratic requirement, now? Do they really seek to install someone who would rule as a King? ‘Twould seem so.
In a bubble full of people who are utterly convinced that they are smarter, wiser, more photogenic, more compassionate, more enlightened, and just all-around better than anyone else who ever lived, it’s not surprising that the most conceited rise to the top. Buoyed up by the fawning awe of all the rest.
That’s why it’s such a shock to them to come out into the real world and suddenly realize that reality is not impressed with how great we imagine ourselves to be. It only cares about what we do, and whether or not we get it right.
It’s sort of like carpentry. There, as my mother always put it, the rule is “measure twice and cut once”. Not “make a cut by eye, and if it’s wrong, toss it and get another board”.
In the real world, there is not an infinite supply of boards. Or second chances.

A wise mother, an obedient son; a formula for success.
Have any former Presidents ever become U.S. ambassadors? I hear there is an opening for the position in Libya. Both Jimmy and Barak would be great candidates. After all, the people there love them.
I fully expect Obama to be an even worse ex-president than Jimmy Carter. He’s already a worse president than Carter and that was no easy accomplishment. Obama’s ego won’t let him fade quietly into the night.
Romney’s election could be tsunami. The rotten core of the Left is on display. Don’t be complacent. The Chicago way is corrupt. Step it up.
The spoiler in our fervent hopes may be in that Electoral College final tally.
Somewhere I’ve read that Obama won Pennsylvania’s electoral votes in 2008 while not having the popular majority of that States’ votes.
Could someone explain here why both Parties permit that Electoral College system to continue? Don’t we go through this same gamesmanship at each Election? Where’s the advantage? Both Parties obviously like it or it’d be repealed.
Well, aside from the intention of the founders I can think of one reason.
I live in CA which in 2004 went to Kerry by 10% and over 1.25 million votes. That’d take a lot of Wyomings to overcome.
For one thing, it serves as a firewall against election corruption. In Illinois, it is always expected that the Cook County Democrats hold their returns until the more conservative downstate votes are in, so they know how big a turnout the graveyards must have.
It’s simple. At any point in time the electoral college favors one party or the other. The one it favors will never give up their advantage.
Therefore the electoral college is as permanent as anything can be in politics.
The only conceivable way to get rid of it is for one party to a 70% majority and to strongly believe that the electoral college works to its disadvantage in perpetuating its reign. The odds of that ever happening are very very long.
The Electoral College smooths out the population centers. If there was no Electoral College, the candidates would only campaign in the following cities (populations greater than 1M people):
New York
Los Angeles
Chicago
Houston
Philadelphia
Phoenix
San Antonio
San Diego
Dallas
Is that what you want? New York, L.A., and Chicago determining the outcome of the presidential election each year? How long before America is actually a Communist hell-hole?
The Electoral College ensures that the less populace areas have some kind of say in the election. Without it, most of the country wouldn’t matter to politiicians.
Years ago I was against the Electoral College, until I fully understood it. Frankly, I’m with our founders, the President should ONLY be elected by the Electoral College, and not by popular vote. We need to go back to when state legislature was king, that way the populace is forced to pay attention to local politics instead of this bi-bi annual beauty contest we call the Presidential race, where we look for a messiah (that goes for both sides of the isle) to solve all our woes.
Next, repeal the 17th amendment. Senators should have to be chosen by the State electorate as well, just as our founders intended. Our government model has been allowed, through parliamentary procedure and legislative trickery, to become something it was never intended to be, namely a democracy. I know that runs counter to what most people think.
I always understood that the purpose of the electoral college was to protect us from charlatan incompetent megalomaniacal narcisists like Obama.
Your source is full of it. Obama won Pennsylvania from McCain by over 550,000+ votes.
Could someone explain here why both Parties permit that Electoral College system to continue?
For all the reasons that the Founders created it in the first place. They never intended for the president to be chosen by popular vote.
Oh sure, give them the short answer.
Brilliant
Great insight on Reagans unknown ability
Charlie, as I’m sure you know, the Electoral College is the system specified in the Constitution for election of the President and a change would take an Amendment. While there are certainly flaws in the system, I support it for several reasons, the chief two being summarized below.
1. I believe to a certain extent in Constitutional originalism, and, at the most basic level, the Constitution is an agreement between the States concerning how they agree to be collectively governed. This is one reason why Amendments require ratification by the State legislatures. As such, it is proper for the States to choose the Executive for the federal government.
2. The Electoral College prevents a candidate with overwhelming popularity in a limited number of States from winning. For example, a candidate that could generate 75% of the vote in CA, NY, MA, CT, and RI could still win the election with only 45% support in the rest of the nation. More realistically, though, the presidential power of individual large metropolitan areas would be much greater than they even are today. This would greatly exacerbate the already seen balkanization of voting blocks between urban and rural areas.
umm…..yeah….that’s what I meant.
Let me offer an alternative view from subman Dave. The political landscape would be a lot different than it is now. Urban centers would get more Republican attention and vice versa in the heartland. That would be good for the country. This focus on swing states distorts the common national issues. For example Government Motors building plants in Ohio, ethanol subsidies for Iowa.
It sounds counter-intuitive but Rs would benefit more than Ds because it would open up cities like LA and NY for big chunks of votes.
No, Kreskin2, with the President getting solely the ‘popular vote’, it would mean that the ‘fly over country’ would get no representation AT ALL. Los Angeles and New York would be the only places that would see presidential representation – which would cause the rest of the nation to leave the union out of disenfranchisement.
Chicago and Dallas would be in play, but you’re essentially correct.
“This focus on swing states distorts the common national issues.”
I don’t know where you live, and I don’t want you to give away any personal information in this context. But I used to live in Virginia. For 48 years I lived in that storied state, in the Peoples’ Republic of Arlington County. And for the 36 years that I was a voter, my vote never counted because it was never a swing state – reliably Democratic until the 70s or 80s, then reliably Republican. In 2003 I moved to the reddest of the red states. And once again, my vote doesn’t count. Virginia, on the other hand, waited until I was safely out of the state to become a swing state. I don’t know why this is so, but it is so, even though I was never that dangerous.
BTW I disagree with your premise that the swing states are not indicative of the rest of the nation. Iowa is not indicative of the rest of the nation. The swing states are where the doctrinal struggles between the two visions of America are most in balance, and, I believe, reflect the 50-50 nation you hear pollsters and pundits talk about.
Think back to 2000 and 2004, if the election were determined by popular vote, then there would have been a democratic challenge in all 50 states in an attempt to cull enough votes for a win. In a purely popular vote determined election, voter fraud would be more rampant than it is today.
Strongly agree with Mr. Sandman here. I never realized the wisdom of having the Electoral College before 2000, but I understand it now. It’s now indispensable, given the enormous size and power of the federal administrative branch today.
The original intent was that electors be Federal officers, free agents
independent of state control, who could vote for whomever they wished,
say in those rare instances when they thought the parties/voters were
about to make a terrible mistake. This has been perverted to the point
that electors are required by State law to vote for their candidates,
and in some cases face criminal punishment if they do not.
It would be interesting to see what they would do if the won candidate
greeted the results of the popular vote with a gloating maniacal rant
of an acceptance speech which clearly indicated unfitness for office.
Great thought Michael.
I think Barry is in the process of turning himself into a joke. All he seems to have going is bombast. I expect he will become increasingly schrill and laughable.
Does Obama really want a second term? That debate performance from the leader of the free world was more like a high school kid running for class president. I think Obama has been spooked by a series of scandals brewing around him and he has decided his best interests are to move to Hawaii with his beard wife and family and write another autobiography. He got what he wanted – to be the first black president. America wasted four years on this shallow human being.
A week ago, it would have been unthinkable for one of the O’trumpeteers to blow a sour note. The moment when enough of them finds comfort (revenge?) in dissent will be a point of no return.
Such a moment is rapidly approaching, if not already with us. It’s not about bounces anymore, it’s about swings.
On the other hand, suppose Obama does eke out a win, in conjunction with Diebold hackery, “street money” and buses being driven from county to county filled with those who are (ahem) “multi-registered”.
Now the whole world gets to share this feckless fool with us for another four years. Four years of that “kick me” sign on his/our butt. Four years of them rolling their eyes at the functional moron the Americans actually re-elected. Embarrassed yet?
Back then, the symbol of a failed president was a big rabbit. Now, it’s a big bird.
With all the respect and admiration, Michael, my take is that the symbol of this Presidency neither a big rabbit or a big bird, it is the Big Lie.
I find it not merely a tad bit ironic that this campaign suggests broadly that Mitt Romney is the liar in this race. I’m not clear on what “lie” is supposed to have a shred of credible evidence, most of the charges have turned out to be lies about lying.
What I do know is that The Lawless Presidency has been a pack of lies in every legitimate issue sector.
1)On foreign policy, Obama lied about leaks of national security interest to the NY Times, lied about knowing the capital of Israel, lied about the cause of the attack on our embassies and lied about the strength of al-Qaeda and lied about gutting the military.
2)On domestic policy, this Presidency and his administration has lied about running guns to drug cartels and the subsequent murders, has lied about whether a hidden tax was a tax, has lied about allowing a racially charged threat of killing babies issued from armed thugs at a polling place, lied about allowing illegal money into their campaign war chests, lied about an administration official violating the Hatch Act, lied about Ft. Hood being “workplace violence”, lied about knowing Bill Ayers,lied about hearing racial invective from the pews of Rev. Wright.
3)On fiscal issues, the Lawless President and his lawless lackeys and minions doing his bidding lied about producing a budget, lied about the meaning of the jobs reports, lied about Solyndra, lied about General Motors, lied about Boeing/NLRB, lied about intentionally driving up energy prices, lied about global warming,lied about redistribution, lied about small businesses being the target class warfare taxation.
This Lawless Presidency is rife with provable lies that rise to the level of felonious and conspiratorial coverup. Crimes have been committed and have gone not only unpunished, but largely unreported by the co-conspirators in the media.
If this campaign wishes to talk about lies and liars…I’m all for it. Let’s roll.
In fact Mr. Obama does not deserve more than post a seller of soft and honeyed lectures in a U.S. College NOT to be a real American leader to a Great Superpower!!!
The sad thing, that Mr. Obama feels today that he is “the Great Hero” through his failed trade on the account of the great ideas of great elite “Neo-cons” who have started the fight and fiercely against those who wishing the destruction of the USA.
The history of Mr. Carter and Mr. Obama is very disgraceful and nasty. both of them are sympathetic with America’s enemies of evil regimes and muslim terrorist groups. So, I can say they just a greats in “a policy of humiliation and appeasement and in kissing the hands and turbans of Americans killers (the Terror Masters)”.
If the President thought he won the debate, it helps to explain his foreign policy. The United States no longer enjoys the respect and leadership it once had among its allies, but the President thinks it does. It’s time to flip him the bird!
While watching the Reagan election results coming in and realizing he would win, there was much celebrating. An older Mafia type guy asked me if I knew why he won. I started to reply but he cut me off with this gem: “Carter lost because he made a mutt out of this country” and so has Obama
If anything, obama is even more feckless than Carter, After all, Carter hadn’t wafted through life as an affimative action con man, so he actually had the ability to plan and adapt. I’m not defending Jimmah, just pointing out that compared to the Empty Chair, Jimmah was a maestro.
The problem is that obama is surrounded by a cabal that has the money, bodies and desire that are unmatched in American politics. It isn’t even close. There could be two orders of magnitude between the current day marxists and the closest historical equivalent.
It’s not all Axelred, either, but for one, he has made it absolutely clear that he doesn’t risk elections on the capabilities of the candidate.
Nobody outside the criminals inner circle knows what they will do, but it will be the equivalent of nuclear war. Nothing would be more shocking than to learn that this Big Bird joke is their best shot. It probably doesn’t even qualify as an opening salvo.
It wouldn’t surprise me, as just one possible scenario, that events interfere with the next presidentail debate. The Liar in Chief just might be too busy saving the country to be able to take time to debate his inconsquential opponent.
I did live through the Carter administration. There was a point when the American people seemed to shift. It’s an odd thing, when public opinion shifts like that. You go from feeling that nothing will ever change to suddenly feeling like everything has changed. I live in the bluest of states, but even here, it is starting to feel different. I think public opinion has shifted again.

I don’t know where you were, Michael, but we common folk knew who he was. We didn’t just vote for him hoping he wouldn’t be too bad. We knew him well enough that almost everybody I knew was fervently praying he’d win. I rode my bicycle 10 miles to vote for him. Because I knew him.
Of course, that was a lot easier with Reagan.
Unlike Romney, he didn’t change “core” positions as often as a mother of quintuplets changes diapers.
Reagan had accomplished his voters most desired goal when the Iranian hostages were released on the day he took office. Carter had campaigned by calling Reagan all kinds of a trigger-happy hot-head, so the Iranians were too frightened to hold on to the hostages and find out what Reagan would actually do.
Next, shortly into his first term, Reagan broke the air-traffic controllers strike. For the first time in over two decades the president turned out to be someone who knew what leadership was and how to get what he wanted. It was a shock because everyone could see that this was not just a case of Reagan getting lucky — which might have been what happened when the hostages were released. At that start of the 1980′s you had to go back to Eisenhower to find someone widely recognized as being a successful president, and it was a big relief to have a politician in office who knew what he was doing…
Hogwash. That was just one item on the long list of wrongs that needed to be corrected, and which we believed he would work hard to correct.
He did.
the worst thing about Romney is what he hasn’t flip-flopped on. Romneycare. He doesn’t know what government shouldn’t try to dp.
where Reagan said he was fooled, Romney we’ll have to fight.
Operation Counterweight.
That and his homosexual advocacy.
This is interesting but the Hatch Act is still being broken. There’s a leftwing blog named The Common Ills and the woman there tries to be fair which is more than I see from most lefties. She does a daily overview of Iraq and today’s
http://thecommonills.blogspot.com/2012/10/iraq-snapshot_9.html
starts off with the White House website. Where they have taken to posting campaign speeches. This is a violation of the Hatch Act. They even label the speeches “campaign speeches.” So we have the official government website (and its workers) working and coordinating with Obama’s re-election campaign. That’s a violation of the Hatch Act.
President Bush didn’t post his campaign speeches at the White House website when he was President. And they say he was dumb. Maybe just honest. Obama’s a crook.
I have been comparing Carter to Obama for the last year, but alas I missed the analogy of Big Bird being Obama’s “wascallwy wabbit”.
Well played sir.
Since Obama peed all over the black Pastors who avidly supported him ’08 over the gay marriage brouhaha last Spring I have been predicting Romney wins by 6-8%.
The annointed ones performance in the first debate not to mention a dozen other events that have overwhelmed this inept administration, have done nothing to change my opinion.
Obama is toast. Unless of course Democrats turn out in record numbers to vote on November 7th.
Give Obama the Bird!
That’s my advice.
Make HIS day.
Since The One, the Legend in his own mind, actually thought he’d won the debate, obviously he’s severely ignorant. So, he direly NEEDS The Bird.
That is, even though he’s 51 years old, he must find time to watch Sesame Street, and learn whatever the Bird can teach him. There’s no doubt he missed some oh-so-human lessons, at the essential preschool level.
Seriously, though, with Intrade holding around 63% that BHO will win, I’m resolved to another four more years of worsening hell.
Logic does seem to imply that Obama is Carter redux, and that he should lose to Romney. However, there are still way too many powerful reasons to wonder.
Don’t forget voter fraud.
The main stream media is STILL committed to Obama.
He is the incumbent.
Many voters are ignorant or/and stupid.
Obama has blacks and women in his pocket.
It’s going to be tough to beat him.
I DO hope Romney-Ryan and their supporters squeeze, press, and beat over the head the phony Obama! Wouldn’t it be a great precedent, if the next four weeks they do the political equivalent of pouring salt on a defenseless slug.
Have you ever done that?
They writhe and shrivel up, and practically dissolve, right before your eyes.
Just do it!

Michael, I disagree with you. His symbol is not the poor Big Bird. Obama’s symbol is a Big Canard.
when you have nothing, no vision, no plans, no accomplishment, no successes, you make a big election about small issues. So with lies and cover ups and the death of 4 US CITIZENS murdered in an act of war, called a bump in the road, he makes the campaign about Big Bird.
What a joke.
From another poster, when we need leaders and statesmen we got an unpatriotic failure, economic dunce, and chicago style thug, but i will let the other person say it better than I:
We needed a bigger-than-life President – we got a Dope smoking, Coke snorting, Radical Left wing Chicago thug that has spend his life surrounded and tutored by American hater,s and Marxist!
We needed a well-grounded stable President – we got a certifiable narcissist.
We needed bold leadership – we got a teleprompter
We needed a seasoned hand – we got a hand in in our pockets
We needed a champion for American citizens… we got a champion for the invading horde of Illegal Aliens
We needed a skilled bridge builder – we got a class-warfare specialist and inciter-in-chief.
We needed practical, proven policies – we got socialist dogma and monumental waste
We needed an inspirational visionary – we got an ideologically blinded, left learning-impaired radical.
We needed a Constitutional champion – we got a domestic enemy of the Constitution.
We needed a restrained, respected and intimidating warrior – we got groveling, bowing, Barney Fife
We needed a patriot – we got G. D. America, G. D. America, G. D. America.
We needed someone to unshackle our economy – we got someone who is a friend to our enemies and an enemy to our businesses
We needed a president beyond color – we got a green president embracing every whim and myth ever spoken by the kook environmental fringe.
We needed mature, principled leadership – we got a petulant, lying, whining, blaming, sulking, accusing, excusing, lazy, man-child.
It is a national disgrace that someone this incompetent, racist, and a American hating Socialist could be elected to the office of the Presidency.
I think it is incredibly disrespectful to compare Barney Fife to President Obama….
Barney Fife was brave, courageous (most often foolishly so)and understood the values of decency and rural America far better than most people.
Please don’t drag him into the mud by comparing him to the apologist in chief.
and maybe we should remember President Reagan as well, when he spoke:
One thing is certain. If we’re to continue to advance world peace and human freedom, America must remain strong. We must turn a deaf ear to those born-again patriots who talk about strength while serving up the same old menu of weakness. If we have learned anything these last eight years, it’s that peace through strength works.

Dang!
The SDS is still a going concern? I disposed of my SDS membership card from 1965 (I was 14 at the time) just last year. Think that if I flashed it at Obama HQ I could get a complimentary absentee ballot?
(Don’t work, I sobered up by the time I was able to LEGALLY vote and have been straight ticket Republican ever since.)
Gee, maybe if the money spent subsidizing Big Bird had been spent on a platoon of marines the Libyan ambassador would still be alive? No, according to the state department’s new narrative line those mistaken ad hoc Arab Spring protests in Benghazi that actually didn’t happen was really an unprecedented small arms and heavy weapons attack by dead enders who think Osama lives. Bummer. I thought all embassies had a marine detachment? They sure seemed to work out in Vietnam, 1968, in Saigon.
The party of Big Bird, lady parts and dead ambassadors. I think I’ll pass on this clown car wreck.
the American public still has the sence to know when it has made a mistake. We will see just how loud the election results will be as Romney soundly defeats the mistake we made in 2008. Obama will not even carry his own state!
