70% approval for Obama? It really makes you wonder what is wrong with California.

My opinion? I think the government, schools, and media in California create an unholy alliance that squashes any negative information about the left. If you are someone growing up there, you will only here one side of the story.

I remember going to California on business trips long after Fox News was popular. Many hotels simply didn’t carry it. To me, it indicated a repressive leftist culture that intentionally suppressed opposing views.

I really don’t think there’s anything we can do about states like California. If 70% still love Obama after the things he’s pulled, our union cannot be saved. The gulf is too wide, and frankly, I’m not interested in meeting the totalitarian left half way.

Carter was an idiot—zero is a communist. Guess which is worse.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Although I did not like Carter as president, at least he didn't try to strongarm banks and car companies or threaten investors who challenged his bankruptcy deal.

Carter was humble; perhaps too humble. Obama is a narcissistic thug.

That was after Carter was president. I was referring to the time during his presidency.

Obama.......WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more dangerous, way more damaging than Jimmy Carter could ever be.
“We step and do not step into the same river.
We are and are not.”
Meaning it is a different world, and “another
Jimmy Carter” is an whole different animal from the Jimmy
Carter who was President in the late 70s. The river we step in is always a different river, as we are different people doing the stepping from one time
to the next.
I’m afraid Newt is way behind the learning curve on this one.
THere is no possibility of “another Jimmy Carter”
even though Obama may remind a lot of old timers of Carter.
A “New Carter” in an infinitely more dangerous world,
the one we live in, is infinitely more dangerous than
Carter.
And even though I don’t think either of them are at all smart, Carter still had some small measure of patriotism.
Obambi has none. He is King of some fictional realm no one
has yet identified.

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

And how is that going to happen if they (the GOP) are Jimmy Carter lite? Carter didn't guarantee a Republican victory the following election. Ronald Reagan did.

Today's GOP doesn't like Reagan any more or agree with what he stood for. They like losing and trying to out demonrat the demonrats. Maybe they could run mccain again. "If first you don't succeed..."

I don’t think Republicans need to hope for Obama’s failure. By the end of his term it should be obvious to all but the most possessed cultist. If, if on the other hand, socialism and government control of every aspect of our lives brings nirvana, we should join in homage to our deliverer.
