I was 26 in 1979, and well remember the Jimmy Carter years of gas lines, the Iran hostages, our broken economy, the general feelings of hopelessness, high unemployment, etc.
The parallels to the Obama years are striking, as is the emergence of a well qualified GOP challenger who bears a sunny, optimistic, patriotic message. The nation’s reaction to the present situational dynamics are eerily mirroring those of the 1980 election.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the outcome will be the same, as well. Get ready for Morning In America II.
