Romney Gets Carter Endorsement

Jimmy Carter has a few kind words for Mitt Romney.

On former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, the former Democratic president said he would like to see Romney win the Republican presidential nomination.

"I'm not taking a position, but I would be very pleased to see him win the Republican nomination," Carter said on an interview on MSNBC set to air Thursday night.

Carter also said he appreciated that Rep. Bachmann (R-Minn.) worked on Carter's presidential campaign in 1976.

I think this will really help Mitt in the general election. If he gets that far.

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize - Country Doomed

President ∅ has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. I'm not going to name all the losers who have won that award. But I will name a few. Al Gore - for Global Warming. The Globe is cooling. Jimmy Carter for bringing Peace to the Israelis and Palistinians. The war never stopped. Yasser Arafat for being a Peace Maker. He started Stupidfada II - and lost.

Well you get the drift. The Peace Prize is usually a sign that the policies praised will fail. Usually sooner than later.

Expect a war. A big war. Soon.

Error Of Good Feeling

Supposedly new Presidents are supposed to get a 90 or 100 day "honeymoon" where what ever the President asks for - he gets. Well if there ever was such a thing it is now over. President Present keeps asking for action and can't get any.

"The time for talk is over. The time for action is now," said Obama. He implored lawmakers in both parties to "rise to this moment" and send him legislation to begin fixing the worst economic crisis in decades.

Obama added he would "love to see additional improvements" in the bill, a gesture to the moderates from both parties at work on trying to trim the $920 billion price tag.

But with the Senate plodding through a fourth day of debate, earlier talk of a large, bipartisan vote for the legislation was fading.

"As I have explained to people in that group, they cannot hold the president of the United States hostage," said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "If they think they're going to rewrite this bill and Barack Obama is going to walk away from what he is trying to do for the American people, they've got another thought coming."

Hostage crisis? Past time we called in Jimmy Carter. He is an expert when it comes to being held hostage.

Bush Is A Failure

In the comments here some one said:

Except that Carter currently has higher approval ratings than Bush does.

To which I replied:

I guess Bush should have done something to get interest rates above 15% and hand Iran to the theocrats.

It is too late for the first and the second is already taken.

QED: Bush is a failure.

The Carter Doctrine

I was ignorant of the Carter Doctrine until a poster at the Netscape blog informed me.

Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.

I guess he was a Blood For Oil kind of guy.
