On Friday, January 21, 1977, his first full day in office, Jimmy Carter gave blanket amnesty to the draft dodgers of the recently ended Vietnam War. The following week, I changed my voter registration from Democrat to the Conservative Party of New York State. Carter’s one term presidency only got worse from there and over the next four years millions more Democrats became conservatives.<\/p>\n
Now Jimmy Carter assures us that the potentially worse president than Carter will be “better” in the second half of this term (from CBS News<\/a>);<\/p>\n “In the next two years President Obama will be much more independent in fighting hard to prevail and not trying to reach out, which turned out to be fruitlessly, to get two or three Republican votes for this and that,” Mr. Carter said in an interview for CBSNews.com’s “Washington Unplugged.” “I think he’ll be a much more tough proponent of what he stands for in the future, giving up on Republicans support and taking his case to the American public.”<\/p>\n “Republicans so far have been totally irresponsible,” Mr. Carter went on. “Now that they’ve taken control of the House of Representatives, they’ll be responsible for a major element of the U.S. government.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In other words, among all of the other things he’s failed at, Carter can’t do math, either. Obama couldn’t hold his own party together when they were in the majority, but somehow he’ll tame the Republicans. We can only hope that Obama is listening. Maybe Obama can send Carter to solve the North Korea problem again.<\/p>\n Thanks to Jerry920 for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
