Another Carter? You gotta be kidding.

I was a kid when Jimmy Carter was in office, but I remember a few things. I remember seeing hostages on the news and hearing Walter Cronkite tick off the days they had been in captivity. I didn’t understand much then, but I knew there were people who didn’t like us… and they were winning. I remember my parents constantly telling me what we couldn’t afford. Vacations. Bicycles. New clothes. I remember how excited my father was when Ronald Reagan was elected. I could tell he expected better days. He was right.

So you’ll have to forgive me for being perplexed that our country could so eagerly embrace the latest iteration of Jimmy Carter (that would be Barack Obama for those arriving late to the party.)

In The American Spectator, Jeffrey Lord reminds us of just how closely Obama’s policies and core philosophies mirror Carter's, and he asks a question I doubt many sitting on Obama’s bandwagon have considered:

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?

Lord also details how many of Obama’s campaign platforms, from windfall profits taxes for oil companies, to taxing the “wealthy,” to an approach of appeasement on foreign policy are based on the astounding failures of the Carter administration.

For an Ivy Leaguer, this doesn’t seem to indicate much in the way of smarts.

It’s a good read for those of us who remember Carter. And should serve as an eye-opener for those who don’t.

You go Girl!

I was finally able to watch the CNN video of the other group of ladies Moms 4 Sarah Palin. Wow, they sound like a great group of ladies - ones I would love to have a "snack" with. (Humor from the video clip if you missed it!!!)

I'm not sure why so many of you are offended by them? They did great and said nothing offensive about your candidate in their interview. If it bothers you that people have different opinions than you, you really shouldn't be so close minded!

(Please remember that a 4 hour interview was broken down into 4 minutes so much of their conversation was edited out.)

If you missed it, you can see it HERE.

I was not on CNN.

Again, I was not the mom or group of moms who were on CNN. They are located at:

Moms 4 Sarah Palin

Please go there if you have a specific comment about their appearance.

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet so I can't really respond to comments regarding it.

I don't know how many more times to say it but I was not the one on CNN. Please take time to review a blog before commenting so you know WHO you are bashing. (I'm for Sarah Palin but it may be for different reasons than the ladies on CNN.)

The Messiah?

For those of you "scared" of Sarah Palin, the fact that Obama supporters believe he is the Messiah is scary to me. Scare anyone else?

"You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
