Nope. Just like Carter in 1979, the natural results of massive incompetence.
I remember NPR recapping 2013 this January, called 2013 “Obama’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year” (a play on the children’s book name). I said, out loud, to my car radio, “Just wait’ll THIS year is over.” And sure enough.
It’s not that I have a crystal ball or are “especially smart”. Rather, it’s just in the same league of the guy that never replaces his tires. You KNOW there is a blowout in his future.
And next year will be worse, and then we reach my tag line...
I view Carter as simply incompetent.
I view Obama as a figurehead for those capable and evil.
