According to Don Imus, it's the late-1970s all over again, and not in a good way.

Imus appeared on the Fox News Channel's Nov. 24 "Hannity" program and had some disparaging words for the current administration's economic policy. He told viewers that Obama's associations with Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers weren't the problem (h/t Erick Erickson at RedState.com).

"You had me convinced - yes, he was. But you had me convinced that Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers and some of these people are all going to be in the Cabinet. We'd be better off if they were," Imus said.

Not exactly what I would call a thought-leader on economic policy, but funny nonetheless...

[skeeter]

Imus is indicative of the majority who don’t pay much attention. This is good.

[Servant of the Cross]

The phrase “Jimmy Carter Stupid” is priceless.

For those of us feeling a sense of deja vu, it isn’t, this really did happen before...

Economy = Stagflation
Foreign Affairs = Iran making us look stupid

Welcome to Carter 2.0. If you missed Carter 1.0, well, welcome to the sequel. Enjoy!

the comparison to Carter is in error. a better comparison is LBJ.

His memorial says Obama is his legacy. LBJ lost two wars and in the process wrecked the economy. Carter just screwed around and made it worse but the down trend was in place.

The wars were in Vietnam and On Poverty

Well Duhh! Who didn't see this coming? The Stupid People who voted for Obama.

"I think - I mean, I don't know - I think he's so - I think he's a decent guy. And, OK, let me finish. And I think he's fine. But I think he's so happy to be president, and just the way he acts. And that little snapping his fingers and bopping around behind the podium when he reads the teleprompter about whatever he wants to do. I mean he's really thrilled to death to be president. And that's fine." Imus said. "But I don't think he has a clue. And I think all along - I think he was - I don't think he was - I don't think he was hanging with Bill Ayers. I think he was hanging with Bob Rubin. And Larry Summers. And all those people. And Geithner.

How about that line?

Harvard smart = Jimmy Carter Dumb

[Tallguy]

Evidently Obama is starting to cost some of his erstwhile supports some money. That doesn’t bode well for his agenda. Dead Man Walking.
