And then, sitting down with NBC's Brian Williams, he poured it on -- and got to the heart of the matter.
“Senator Obama says that I’m running for a Bush’s third term," McCain said, picking up the central Democratic line of attack. "Seems to me he’s running for Jimmy Carter’s second.”
Well, how about a president whose administration is recalled by conservatives (and others) as one marked by high gas prices, weak national security and a perception of favoring Arabs over Israelis. Not a bad combination given McCain's message against Obama

McCain can only come up with that to defend his party?? First of all a large number voters were not even born or remember Carter and the others don't care. And Carter was fiscally responsible. Maybe McCain should check the red ink chart before he shoots his mouth.
Obama has many ex-Carter people as advisors. I see a second term of Jimmy Carter too.

The first signs of an Obama/Carter similarity began early on the primary race when the Illinois Senator began hiring former Carter aides and cabinet members to be policy advisers. The biggest name that surfaced was former national security advisor under Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brezinski.

Jimmy Carter's theme in 1976 was "Change" as well. On the other side, things are as bad right now, under Bush, as they were under Carter. I don't trust McCain in any way.
wow thats a pretty bland argument. Assuming its true, lets see do I take the ineffective but harmless democrat or the warhawk nut who has done more damage to this country than any other President?

Don't you remember President Carter's response to the Iranian hostage crisis? Carter was too soft.
When you get a spineless, weak President, every month you get a new crisis.
