Carter and Obama are a lot alike and not the way you think!

This is the Jimmy Carter scenario all over again. The Right ,with the help of the Media, took a good President with good ideas and besmirched his character and job performance.
Carter was smart (Navy officer, nuclear engineer) religious, and a dedicated family man.  He saw real problems and did some things that actually worked, like reducing our dependence on foreign oil BY HALF.  This ignored the big money guys.  He also, regardless of what people say, stood hard against Khoemini regime during the hostage crisis.  It's a fact that one of the first things he did was call that guy and told him that if one hostage was harmed fatally, that the US would make a slag heap out of Iran.  He went low key with the US press, and stayed in the White House rather than campaign or make a lot of public appearances.  To this day, he is called weak by the right.  I think it took enormous persoanl and ethical strength to do that.

Now Obama.  Smart, religious, a family man, has no personal skeletons, has initiated a lot of important and long-overdue legislation, and has been handed a huge crisis not of his making.  He has not "blown his own horn," but has preferred to focus on getting things done.  
There is a strong parallel between these two men and how they handle things, and how it is used by the right to attack them. Please read my post on the 100 things he has done in the short time he has been in office.  The real problem seems to be that both Carter and Obama would not play ball with the Washington insiders.  Remember that if we would have listened to Carter a lot of our present problems,as a country,would not have occured.  Give this President a chance before you attack him,OK!
