Jimma and Obama
[QUOTE=504PIR;200282] I suspect he is more the 21st Century version of Jimmy Carter than JFK.... /QUOTE]
I have drawn some similar comparisons lately. When Jimma Caatta ran the first time many young people in this country were hungry for a politician to give them something. For some it was as simple as relaxing the dope laws, but most of them saw Liberalism as the answer to their problems. Within four years, reality had set in. Pol Pot had killed millions, our Embassy had been seized, and our economy was in shambles. Jimma was beside himself. None of the feel good rhetoric of his campaign was working anymore. Even the mighty Allman Brothers and the other Southern rockers who stood by Jimma where feeling the pressure of years of substance abuse. The Left Wing of the Democrat party was firmly in control and the very core of our culture was paying the price.
I think our country is stronger today than it was then (notice I didn't say SMARTER), and my hope is that we will weather another Jimma Caatta type era. What price will we pay four years from now?
