Many conservatives have started to invoke President Carter when describing Obama's domestic agenda. Then he appeared to come to Obama's aid suggesting that the "you lie" comments made by Representative Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) were race based, igniting a national debate over racism after the country just elected the first African American president. Not so presidential from a former President. On the heels of Carter's Obama defense, President Obama seems to be headed more and more in a Jimmy Carter direction. The President's announcement that he will walk back support for a defense shield in Europe for Poland and Czechoslovakia has shocked the world. Reports suggest that the President is weaning the free world's defenses to appease Russia so that they can help pressure Iran from developing nuclear weapons. I do not understand the logic -- appease Russia because the administration's appeasement of Iran is not working? Is President Obama becoming Jimmy Carter on steroids? Is the President's foreign policy amounting to an Obama Appeasement Doctrine?
The Obama administration is doing a tremendous job of bringing about a resurgence of the old Reagan coalition that so many political pundits have proclaimed dead and buried. By pushing farther and farther left on both domestic and foreign policy, the President has opened up himself and his party to a position as big government, deficit spending out of touch politicians at home and weak on national defense and national security abroad, positions that have not been very successful in mid-term or Presidential year elections in past history. Rather than making history, Obama might be on track to repeat it.
Yes, and remember Carter also split the nation as well as his own party. I think Obama is more dangerous than Carter, since the former was born and bred to be a Marxist ideologue. Obama's just beginning to screw up foreign policy as well.
