Barrack Obama is the next Jimmy Carter (scary) (security, president, Bill Clinton)

[Refugee56]

I see so many similarities between Jimmy Carter and Barrack Obama. Here is why:

Both men are intellectuals who have incredible technical knowledge of the issues. Both are like College Professors.

Both men have no real friends. They are aloof and distant to aides and reporters.

Both men are Washington outsiders who promoted change

Both men have no record of accomplishment before becoming President but because popular based on unique public speaking skills

Both men want to bring in mostly Washington outsiders to take over the government but choose an insider to be VP (Mondale for Carter and Biden for Obama)

Both did and will fail to be a good President

He may be the next FDR.

See below my name.

This man is not only scary, he is very dangerous, even more so then Jimmy Carter ever was.

That wouldn't be a good thing. Healthcare run like Social Security? No thanks.

This is kind of superficial wouldnt you say? The tenuous connections you make do not add up to your conclusion.

*YAWN*

The same thing was said about Bill Clinton in 1992.

Find another schtick, because Carter was OVER 30 YEARS AGO!

Nobody give's a flying rats ass about Carter.

I'm glad you acknowledge Obama will be the next president, we'll have to wait and see if your prediction turns out to be true or not...

What? Social Security was a godsend in 1937, when 50% of the senior citizen population was far below the poverty line. I dont get your point.
