I read that on another thread and it disturbed me. It makes me more certain that the Dems will do whatever they have to do to win this election.

That’s good. Where does one get that kind of info about the “origin” of adages? Did you do a Google search?

Yes, they will do ANYTHING, which is why we have to do it first.

“You know who else had community organizing experience? Hitler!”

Good oratory skills also.
I think Obama is more like Winnie The Pooh however. Soft, pliable, and indecisive..

Carter was also a rip-roaring hypocrite, oozing false humility while suffused with arrogance.

I don’t think Obama is “soft, pliable and indecisive.” That’s just his mask. I think he is a ruthless product of the rough-and-tumble world of Chicago politics, with vaulting ambition and no qualms about doing whatever is necessary to win. He kicked Hillary’s dupa in the primaries, and she’s no shrinking violet.

On the other hand, his behavior and response to the recent international crisis following the Russian invasion of Georgia, indicates his lack of experience in foreign affairs. His public comments were those of an amateur statesman, especially in contrast to his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, who had a sober, thoughtful public response.

Democrats hate foreign policy so don't learn foreign policy. 
Their main gripe is spending billions in Iraq means less money for their socialist programs at home

Democrats love domestic policy. This is where they mine for votes by getting more and more people on the Federal Government tit
They love people who work for our Governments on all levels
They love people who get money from the Government except for the military

Democrats are ruthless competitors when it comes to elections and attaining power

But are totally non competitive when it comes to our foreign rivals
Are degenerate sell outs when it comes to our foreign enemies

Well, we don’t have the panama canal anymore so Obamma Lamma Ding Dong can’t give that away.
And as for stupid inept military tricks, Carter has him beat there too.
And Ding Dong could in no way hurt the economy any worse than Mr. Carters 18 percent interest rates.
So while Obamma Lamma is pathetic, weak and full of himself Mr. Carter is a proven failure.

Compared with today's military, Carter inherited a much larger and deeper military infrastructure that had been at war for ten years and was focused largely against a single threat. Obama would inherit an effective but very lean military that has very little depth -- and which could be effectively gutted by even a brief period of neglect. And this would come at a time when we are faced with multiple major threats in every corner of the world. I remember the dark Carter years; as bad as they were, Obama could do a whole lot more damage at a time when we could least sustain it.

And Ding Dong could in no way hurt the economy any worse than Mr. Carters 18 percent interest rates.

Again, I believe Obama could do a lot worse. Oil is our Achilles Heel, and we are far more dependent upon foreign suppliers now than we were in the bad Carter years -- and far more restricted in our abilities to produce more of our own oil. The Carter-era threat was an oil shortage which threatened us with scarcity. Today we have an oil glut, while nationalized cartels are manipulating stratospheric prices and hauling away our national wealth. Oil is not only an economic matter, but a matter of National Security. We must crash the price of oil before this unprecedented transfer of wealth destroys our economy and further enriches our Russian and Middle Eastern enemies.

If a President Obama were to (a) fail to crash the price of oil and (b) enact the tax increases he promises, the effects upon our economy would wreak Carteresque damage at a time when numerous enemies are ascendant.

So while Obamma Lamma is pathetic, weak and full of himself Mr. Carter is a proven failure.

No argument with that statement. But I take no comfort in entrusting the nation with a race-baiting, America-hating Marxist who has absolutely no executive experience. All signs from Obama point to a track record even worse than Carter's.

I read this a.m. how Obama is using Text Messaging to keep in touch with the “under age 30 voters”.

Mac’s campaign needs to step it up in the “high tech” department.

What i fail to understand is why this assclown Obamma is even on a ticket with so shallow a resume.
