Barack "Jimmy Carter" Obama
Of all the Democrat presidents from the past, why does Obama choose Jimmy Carter's failed "Windfall Profit Tax" to emulate? Add Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, et al to the list of "Windfall Profit Tax" supporters. Don't they know the history of their own party? Why didn't Carter win a second term? Because he implemented many of the policies that Obama is expounding. He didn't campaign on these issues during his first campaign or he would never have been elected. He waited until after he was elected.
He not only implemented the WFT, but he also emasculated the military, which was rebuilt under Reagan and Bush, Sr., only to be emasculated again by William J. Clinton, leaving the U.S. ill-prepared after the invasion of Iraq. (FYI, I was against the invasion; however, now, I am dead-set against pulling out and running away with our tails between our legs like Obama, Nancy, Reid, Schumer, Boxer, Feinstein, et al want to do. I am a veteran of the VietNam War, a war we got into after LBJ campaigned " . . . if I'm elected, not a drop of American blood will be spilled on foreign soil . . ." but I digress. That will broached another time under the topic Barack "LBJ" Obama.)
"IS IT POSSIBLE that America really wants to return to those depressing days of gas lines and leisure suits? Of malaise and shock over the aggressiveness of America's enemies? The days when the policies Obama is advocating raised unemployment rates, interest rates and inflation rates into the double digits? When America's enemies looked the President of the United States in the eye -- and found he really wanted to kiss them on the cheek?"
