Gingrich calls Obama 'the next Jimmy Carter'
OC Register ^ | 5/8/09 | Marty Wisckol

Some days it seems Republicans' greatest hope is that Democrats will self destruct.

Newt Gingrich was in town Wednesday and I asked what it would take for the GOP to regain its popularity. The former House speaker, who led the Republican resurgence of the mid-1990s, responded that Barack Obama is this generation's Jimmy Carter, and predicted the current administration will saddle the country with debt, inflation and weak foreign policy.

"I think (the GOP) is going to regain popularity pretty quickly," he said.

These days, Gingrich is building an organization called, "American Solutions," which is developing a blueprint to overhaul the country's economic, education, energy and science policies. But he seems to share Tea Party demonstrators' schadenfreude that Democrats will crumble and make Republicans stand – or at least appear – taller.

Meanwhile, the Public Policy Institute of California's poll shows Obama holding steady with a 70-percent approval rating among the state's adults, same as two months ago.

JimmyCarter08.com has been calling Obama ‘Jimmy Carter’ for 2 years.

Try polling the red states for a change. Or when CA goes bankrupt in July, see if the Big-Eared One will be just as beloved.

The difference between Obama and Carter is that the latter was able to prove that he was a natural born US citizen and did not mind doing so.

If you dig deep, you might find Carter actually admires certain things about the old USA. Obama does not. He is a fraud, a marxist, and a lying sack of poop.

I know some will find this hard to believe, but Newt is being far too kind to B.O.

Yeah, but THIS is the kind of thing that will work.

It will be EASY to define Obama as a leftwing wacko if republicans would only try.

"...if republicans would only try."

Nope. They have more important things to do. 9 years of ineffective media relations and counting...

The GOP could surprise a lot of people in 2010. 0’b may sh-t on enough by then.

Obama will eventually make folks long for the Cater years as the good ol’ days.

He's the worst thing that has ever happened to our country.

Carter may have been a boob, but at least he was our boob (not Kenya's)!

Nah. Wrong. Carter was a Christian on the wishful-thinking train--you know, act as if what you wish were true were actually true. Results: harmful.

0 is not a Christian and is moving ahead with his communist agenda. Results: calamitous.
