Carter wasn’t nearly as bad as most of these people make him out to be. He was handed a horrible economic mess by Ford that was the result of the end of a war economy and the first oil embargo by OPEC. Carter’s biggest failure was as a Washington outsider (sound familiar) he did not understand how to work with the congress and most of his initiatives were DOA on the hill. To his credit there are the Camp David Accords, one of the few breakthroughs we’ve ever had in the Middle East peace process. You can also say without a doubt, he’s the greatest ex-president we’ve ever had

Becasue Obama’s mentors were Carter’s advisors. (Look it up for yourself.) Obama was mentored by these two Marxists:

Zbigniew Brzezinski, Head of the Institute on Communist Affairs at Columbia University when Obama was a student there.

Austin Goolsbee, who is a professor of economic’s at the University of Chicago AND a member of The Order of Skull and Bones at Yale (ties to The New World Order).

I believe that most people do not do any of their own research into the candidates.

Obama has been a Marxist since he was a teen and has never stopped believing it is the way.

Obama was an active, registered member of both the Communist and Socialist parties when he was a resident of Hawaii and Illinois.

The church Obama associated with for over 20 years is a self-acclaimed bastion of Black Liberation Theology (BLT). (See link below)

BLT is simply Marxism dressed up to *look* like Christianity. They take a few passages from the bible and twist them to their own political agenda and they study those few passages. BLT is an offshoot of Liberation Theology, which was created about 50 years ago in South America. It was Che Guevara’s (a Marxist leader) way of mobilizing the Christian society to his movement.

Che Guevara and Luis Farrakhan (also a Marxist) are heroes of Barack Obama’s. Obama had a flag of Che Guevara up in his campaign office and Obama was instrumental in having Luis Farrakhan be given the highest honor his church would ever bestow upon an individual. This happened just last year.

About Marxism. I suggest you look it up. It looks good on paper. The main tenet goes something like this, “from each according to their ability and to each according to their need.”

The thing is, when goods and services are handed out to people, those who have the most ability no longer rise to produce their best. And those who have little ability decide not to contribute at all! Communist societies continue to fail.

Look up Marxism, Che Guevara, and Luis Farrakhan and see if you want someone who is their true believer to be your leader.

If you don’t understand what Obama’s ideals have to do with Communism and Socialism, then please do a little of your own research into him instead of buying his propaganda, line and sinker. You can start here:

The whole idea is scary. Tax the US citizens an additional amount (equal to 0.7% of the GNP) for the specific purpose of giving it to an international governance, which will then spend the money however they want! We don’t get a say in it at all!

Then, take a look at paragraph 8. It refers to other documents. You need to know what is in them, but the Global Tax bill does something else. It takes away our right to bear *small* arms.

That’s right SMALL arms.

Why do you think a government would want its people to be unarmed???

FURTHERMORE: Even his voting record gives it away. BOTH Obama and Biden are further to the left, per their voting records, than the ONLY self-proclaimed Socialist in Congress, Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

He is what he is. Just because you fail to see it does not mean it isn’t true.

Why? Since he’s promoting the same things Carter did, he’s basically calling HIMSELF that.
Expectations? It’s charitable to Obama.
Like Clinton’s “success?” Then it will be because he had a GOP Congress and we’ll point that out.

Do your homework Obama lover… The Comrade’s ideas and policies are the same as Carter’s. If you people would do the research on your candidate, you would find out that he is as worthless as titz on a boar hog…

I think they will equate Obama to anyone and anything they think will turn off the voters. The Carter comparison is just another sign of their desperation to present their candidate as something different than another 4 years of Bush. Kind of pathetic really!! : /

They like to set expectations low and they like to live in the past.
Ever notice how they always talk about the next Reagan, or someone is just like Reagan,etc?
They prefer to look to the past and not to the future.

the “clinton style economic prosperity” came about because of the tax act enacted in 1982 under reagan. clinton helped along by signing the tax act of 1993. by the time clinton was elected the economy had already started correcting itself. it would have done so no matter who was elected in 1992.

He doesnt want to hold poor people accountable for their actions. The only people that deserve a handout are the handicapped, elderly and those that have suffered a tradgedy in their lives. Being a lowlife will be rewarded under obama.

First:
We are not going to see economic prosperity for a LONG time, because of the crisis we are in.
Second:
I WELL REMEMBER the days of Jimmy Carter,and Obama’s ‘change’ is not really ‘change’…it is the SAME democratic song and dance that has always been their agenda..and I think he will be WORSE than Carter…he will make the Jimmy Carter admin. look like the ‘GOOD OLD DAYS’
