Hey, don’t put down Billy Beer...it actually did have a fair taste to it.
Yes, indeed, Billy Beer, Georgia’s answer to Moonshine!
In the case of Carter we elected the wrong brother. At least Billy didn’t presume to be smart.
I agree he sure is not welcome back. More like "Oh SH-T you're back"? or "Jimmahs back we're doomed". Or "I thought we were done withe Jimmah".
As far as the GOP is concerned, it seems Barack Obama is indeed 'gifted", the gift that keeps on giving.
Sen. Reid Says Obama Told Him,'I Have a Gift'
WASHINGTON -- Everyone knows President Barack Obama can deliver a great speech, including the president himself, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The paperback version of Reid's memoir, "The Good Fight," is coming out May 5 with an epilogue called "The Obama Era." Reid said he was impressed when Obama, then a first-year senator from Illinois, delivered a speech about President George W. Bush's war policy.
Democrat Reid writes: "`That speech was phenomenal, Barack,' I told him. And I will never forget his response. Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: `I have a gift, Harry."'
A copy of the book's 15-page epilogue was provided to The Associated Press. Reid said in an interview he hesitated about citing Obama's comment because he knew it could be interpreted as bragging.
"To be honest, my wife, she said, `don't tell people that,"' Reid said. "She's afraid it could be taken the wrong way. But she's heard me tell lots of people that, and every time she goes `don't do that.' Now it's there for thousands of people to read.

“Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: `I have a gift, Harry.”’
Barack Obama, the most humble president ever elected. Why, the man positively OOZES humility. Yeah, that’s the ticket...
Harry, just because BHO bamboozled YOU doesn’t mean this arrogant narcissist fooled all the rest of us. When you get defeated this November, you’ll have plenty of time to ponder just when and how you got taken in by this fraudulent hack.
He is the dumbest and most evil pos to ever sit in the oval oriface... and that is amongst some skanky company.

Carter inherited a bad situation and didn’t make it any better but his failures were balanced by his real substantive successes and Carter faced his primary challenge from Kennedy primarily because he took his own party leadership head on over the budget.
I have always thought that if Carter had come in during good times we’d remember him differently. Every president in the 70s ended up leaving office because the public did not like them and if you had asked most people in the beginning of 1983 the same would have been said for Reagan.
With Obama, the problem is that he made promises, didn’t live up to those promises, appears completely and totally aloof and uncaring to the country’s problems and that it’s like he’s got his fingers in his ears trying to ignore it even as it all crashes around him.
Obama is not the second coming of Carter. He’s the second coming of Hoover.
It is this issue more than anything else that demonstrated the manner in which President Carter was woefully unqualified. unfit to serve. The Iran hostage crisis, the event on which his presidency is seen as the abominable failure it was, was one in which President Carter had only himself to blame for events turning out the way they did.
I alluded to that somewhere when I mentioned him not backing the Shah.
If the Shah had stayed in power the hostages would not have been taken and there would not have been ribbons on trees across the country.
That was his big foreign policy mistake and if you’ve ever ready anything about it you know that there was a fierce debate during the Iranian Revolution of whether or not to push for a military crackdown or to push the Shah aside and try to work with the revolutionaries. Brezinski wanted the crackdown. Vance wanted the Shah to step aside. Vance won.
If Brezinski had prevailed the hostages wouldn’t have been taken and we would be inhabiting a far different world today.
.....we would be inhabiting a far different world today.
The loss of Iran is one of the West’s greatest geopolitical losses of the 20th Century.
Call me a pessimist, but I think Jimmy still would have found a way to #%$@ it up.
