Carter was an oaf in office. Obama is not. The similarities are only “super-fiscal.” Carter believed his own inane idealism. Obama is fatally wounding Our Country with great purpose, camouflaged by a seemingly inane idealism. Bill Maher is just doing his “pimp ‘dem fools”’ part.
Carter’s idealism seems inane to us. But I think he was just as purpose-driven as Obama is; just that the conditions weren’t as ripe for engaging in the agenda.
