I strongly believe that in three years that Barrack Obama is another Jimmy Carter. For you guys who do not remember Jimmy, he was another outsider President who came in with a certain amount of chrisma and talked about change. He also came into office facing a bad economy. He failed. I see simarilies between Barrack Obama and Carter in how they sold themselves to voters, the "change thing" and people's excitement about them.

How will America look at Barrack Obama in 3 years? Will be be as popular as Jimmy Carter was at the tail end of his term? What will Barrack Obama's popularity rating be in 2011?

Where do you get the comparison to Jimmy Carter other then they are both Democrats? Relative to their policy proposals what strikes you specifically as deja vu?

I don't know what it will be. It won't be worse than Bush's, that would be almost impossible.

Will he be another Carter?
In some ways, and not in others.

Will he be another FDR?
In some ways, and not in others.

Will he be another Lincoln?
In some ways, and not in others.

Will he be another Millard Fillmore?
In some ways, and not in others.

Will he be another Calvin Coolidge?
In some ways, and not in others.

Will he be another James Garfield?
In some ways, and not in others.

God, I get so sick of all this labelling. Wanna know who he'll really be like? He'll be just like Barack Obama.
