To be fair... he did get that nobel prize before he decided to kill thousands of innocent civilians. Though it does show how stupid the nobel prize commission's rationale was however. The big differnce between Jimmy Carter and Obama is that Jimmy Carter wasn't fit to be President at a time of war/bad economic troubles... while Obama just isn't fit to be president. The big difference between Romney and Obama is... Romney is a mormon. I don't know... he'd likely just continue the same lame economic policies anyway. None of them are at Reagan's level... which is sad because i'm not terribly fond of Reagan. |
Reason why I look at it, is to see how this election could shape up to be a repeat of what happened in 1980, which is why you have the Hannitys, etc... in the world trying to connect Carter to Obama. For that to work, need to see how Romney would fit into the role Reagan did in 1980. And I ask this, because I don't see it. Even if one can link Obama to Carter, Romney isn't iconically associated with conservatism the way Reagan did, and there hasn't been a big huge run of liberalism either the way it was argued in 1980. Romney can't run similar that Reagan did and have it stick, and try to get people to end up saying, "The government is the problem" they way they did with Reagan. There is mass lack of faith in just about every era.
It can be argued, if there is more of anything, it would be like Carter (if someone wants to push that) against John Kerry in 2004. Take John Kerry and make him come from a more conservative side of course.
Anyhow, I could be off here on this, but if people want to show how this election can shape up to be a repeat of 1980, I would be interested in seeing it.
