Jimmy Carter was a good man, an honest man and a good president. He had to deal with difficult circumstances and international crisis. And did so without war, cultivating hatred. Whoever the next president will be will be inheriting, like President Carter did, a bad economy and an international community in need of healing. We want everything our way, right away and we don't want to pay anything for it. I would rather be called Jimmy Carter than any president since.

Hmmm. So you want to compare Senator Obama with a man reknowned for his peace efforts and for building a multinational organization to build homes for the poor. Yikes! You sure do have them running scared now!

Democrats took over House. What are they changing? or blaming each other?
Sen McCain-08

Carter let Castro send every criminal, nutjob, and scumbag to Florida.

I'd certainly prefer comparison with a Nobel Prize winner rather than the idiot McBush strives to immulate.

There was a time that I would have gone to bat for Jimmy Carter, as he built his post-Presidential legacy. After the Hamas embrace, though, he has become a joke. Obama would do well to distance himself from Jimmy Carter and Hamas.

Obama, the architect of BitterGate!

Anne, "Elmer Gantry" was fiction, like Bush and McCain's war in Iraq. You do know that, don't you?

What is interesting is the current punditry on the veepstakes. The McCain pundits are saying he needs a VP that will brighten his image given his age. The Obama pundits are saying he mustn't pick a VP that dims his brightness.

The Obama camp is still afraid of Hillary Clinton even having taken the nomination. Itdoesn't matter that she is out of the race; it does matter that they keep working the message of Obama Girl that his image needs to be protected. That's a real fear and a real weakness that can be exploited: rock stars can't lose the bad boy image or they become working stiffs.

Armchairgenius,
Yep, ust keep throwing your insults Hillary's way. You don't need our 18 million. You'll do just fine without us. By the way, there was more than one gender supporting Hillary, you might want to do a little more math to add to your swagger.
=======================================
Obama for armchair-zombie-in-chief
=======================================

rmchairgenius.....it doesn't take a "genius" to realize that you Obama supporters will need us if you want him in the White House. I suggest you lighten up with rubbing our noses in Hillary's loss. As Clint Eastwood says, "a guy like you should shut your face".

I just want to know how many more Americans will have to die in Iraq before President John McCain decides to pull out our troops? 58,000 died in Vietnam. Should we wait that long?

Carter was a disaster. During the time he was president America was disgraced by his policies.
Carter talked until he was blue in the face. It just didn't work. Our people were held hostage by Iran for over four hundred days. Carter just stood by and did absolutely nothing. Americans lost confidence in America, so did the rest of the world. It took Ross Perot to bring them home. Obama thinks his speeches and his oratory skills are the answer to whatever ails the world, just like Carter. Hardly. If Obama's elected, look forward to TWELVE YEARS of Rebublican rule after his presidency fails. Vote for McCain and for a Democratic congress and senate. Let there be BALANCE in government instead of the power grabs. the Dems did it in the late eighties and early nineties.
The Rebublicans have done it for the last eight years. American doesn't need aan amature for president. As much of a Democrat as I am, I can't vote for Obama. I'll either vote for McCain or stay home for the very first time since I've been old enough to exercise my right to vote. McCain is a patriot. Obama? That's a good question. His wife(who will be co-president)that's an even better question that need answered.

Len,
Good analysis. Obama and his band of misogynists deserve Obama girl to represent their campaign. I'm glad you brought that out.
========================================
Obama, why hasn't he ever been able to close the deal with the working class? Is it because he is too elite?
========================================

Texas Lil - I agree, Carter was bad. Bush is worse. I've never seen a time when the U.S. was so non-influential around the world.

Global opinion matters, because we see ourselves as global leaders, but that implies others are willing to follow.

We still have that, but to a much, much lower degree than anytime I've known - including when Carter's Delta Force mission was floundering in a dust storm.

Lets see -- I'm currently living through Bush's nightmare. Yea, I can see the connection to McCain. I can see how McCain is endorsing the policies of the Bush Administration.

When Carter was president, I wasn't old enough to vote. Don't remember much about him. What I read in the history books doesn't seem all that similar to Obama. But then, that was a long time ago. A little hard to make the connection.

I guess if you are losing the political association battle, you'll grasp at anything, no matter how absurd. In a verbal battle between McCain and Obama, McCain resembles a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. The Democrats may have to be gentle with McCain, so as not to appear that they are 'picking' on the old man.

ACG,
Nope, I have the option of writing in Hillary's name now and then voting for her again in 2012.

"Because spend, spend, tax, spend. He’s got a proposal that will… raise spending by $1.4 dollars over 10 years, there’s no way to pay for those programs," McCain said..........

spend, spend, spend sounds like what's been going on for the last seven years. The republicans haven't been bothered about paying for their war or programs so far. What's a trillion dollars or so to the future generations to them.

JR - I think Democrats everywhere should make a point of countering this nonsense about how Republicans somehow see themselves as more fiscally responsible.

Its simply not true. Judging 'em by their track records, I'd take the drunken sailor over the Republican to manage my budget.

Our soldiers sacrificed for the safety in this country. When we think of our soldiers and 9/11 event, our American cannot accept who would talk with the terrorists without pre-condition.
