The Obama Hare and Romney the Tortoise

Actually, Reagan was much worse than Carter. Took America from being the #1 creditor nation in the world and turned us into the #1 debtor nation. And then there was his abysmal foreign policy, which was even worse. Are you old enough to remember the Marines getting blown up in Lebanon? As Colin Powell said, "They were told - 'gentlemen, be a buffer." Ever see photos of the battleship New Jersey lobbing artillery into Lebanon before Reagan sent the Marines in to be blown up? Didja know the rules of engagement for the Marines had their sentries standing guard with unloaded guns?

Carter was his own worse enemy. He had Dems in Congress, but had no relationship with them. He used to bring them in and lecture them on their moral duty to help people. It got so bad that he had to send Mondale over because nobody would talk with him or even do a photo shoot. Did you see Carter at the Dem Convention, not happening. Carter was and is poison as anyone who lived through double digit interest rates/inflation and effectively 15-20% unemployment can tell you. Obama has the unemployment numbers of Carter, ego of Nixon, and Keynsian FDR-like Fed Chairman who is throwing money all over the place to prop-up the market. If the Fed's duplicitous big banks and businesses would loosen-up, then he would have the same interest/inflation.
