A vote for Obama is a vote for Jimmy Carter

Change we can believe in or Jimmy Carter 2.0? There are many similarities that Rush Limbaugh has been discussing on his radio show over the last two days....

Jimmy Carter on national television in 1980, quote, "'Unless we tax the oil companies, they will reap huge and undeserved windfall profits.' The New York Times agreed, warning darkly that 'legislators who sit by idly while oil profits soar will have to answer to the voters.' With Democrats controlling Congress they got their way. As if on cue, oil production -- fell. To the tune of 1.6 billion fewer barrels. America's dependence on foreign oil rose."  Now, some of you might be asking, well, why?  Why did our domestic oil production decrease?  Because Big Oil says, "Okay, fine, you're going to put a windfall profits tax on American oil, we'll leave it in the ground and we'll go elsewhere."  They are, after all, global companies.  It will happen again.

"Obama's views are also something else. They are the product of a worldview that has been around for centuries -- failing every time it's tried. Obama's campaign website says Obama 'will take several steps down the long road toward eliminating nuclear weapons. He will stop the development of new nuclear weapons; work with Russia to take US and Russian ballistic missiles off hair trigger alert; seek dramatic reductions in US and Russian stockpiles of nuclear weapons and material; and set a goal to expand the US-Russian ban on intermediate- range missiles so that the agreement is global.' He also pledges to stop the research and deployment of a missile defense, the same system that Reagan created to end the Cold War.  America was led down this philosophical garden path most recently by Carter. Whether advocated by Carter in 1979, Chamberlain in 1939 or a President Obama in 2009, the philosophy behind this idea has simply never worked. Period. Yet, to borrow from Reagan's line in his debate with Carter, here we go again. ... Perhaps more astonishing than his advocacy of a return to Carterism, Obama channels the Republican president to whom Carter was frequently compared -- Herbert Hoover. Obama is completely on board with protectionism, seemingly oblivious to the lessons of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff that was a product of the Hoover administration in 1930."

The bottom line to all this is that there is nothing new about Barack Obama.  Zilch, zero, nada.  In fact, it was all tried before, 1976 through 1980.  We needed something called the Misery Index to be able to categorize just how rotten things got under Jimmy Carter. 

...and now there is a YouTube video that touches on the "Big Oil" side of things. Here is the video:

The American Spectator also weighs in on "Jimmy Carter’s Second Term":

Thanks for sharing this! 

I think Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama is a tad more Marxist than Jimmy!  As well, remember Jimmy's brother Billy?!?  Wait till the news on Obama's family in Nigeria comes out ... they make Billy look good!

If Barack gets elected, I'm drinking the Billy Beer I've been saving,....

I wouldn't give him that much credit and Carter was the worst in my lifetime

And McCain will end up like Dole.

And McCain will end up like Dole.

The BEST thing McCain has going for him is he is an A hole not a B-ho,   
and if I vote for him that will be the reason.

Obama, change (that Jimmy Carter was ashamed to avow in 1976).

I believe that a lot of conservatives have been convinced that Oh no bama is a more strident socialist reincarnation of President Peanut for a while now.
