Now alot of you follow politics and history like I do.Recently I was on vacation in Flordia,I was having a conversation with my cousin who lives there. We were comparing Jimmy Carter's presidency to Obama's some pretty good comparisons.
Both are Democrats who got elected by bashing previous Republican Presidents,Carter blamed Nixon even though Ford was his opponet,Obama blamed Bush even though he was running against Mc Cain.Both Dem's compared their opponents to the other presidents. They both promised change.
Both Carter and Obama lacked foriegn policy experience.they both inherieted a country in a state of war,Carter the Cold war,Obama Iraq and Afganistan.
Both faced unrest in the middle east,Carter had Iran,Obama has Egypt,both men had a hands off approach other than pressuring a U.S. ally to let nature take its course Carter the Shah,Obama had Mubarak.Each time the unrest led to high oil cost.
Both Presidents told American's to grin and bear the fuel cost that resulted.
Both Presidents when elected according to the media sounded the death knell of the Republican party,however policies of both men actually lead to a resurgence of the GOP.
Carter became a one term President..will history repeat itself?
