Jimmy Obama? No way!

Perhaps you've seen the YouTube of Carter and Obama morphing. It's called Jimmy Obama. I voted for Carter twice and Clinton once. When the abortion issue for me pushed everything else aside (both of those men claimed to be personally against abortion, but did nothing to move their party’s support for killing the unborn) I changed party registration in 2000 so I could vote in the primary—about the only place it matters. By then I could also see that there was never “enough” in a Democrat plan, that growing a bloated government was their solution to every moral and economic ill. I could see the failures of the “War on Poverty”—that it had built an empire of well paid government workers and dependent citizens.

That said, I consider both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton giants of patriotism and Christian values compared to the moral midget and teleprompter flubster now in office. It’s breath taking how far we’ve come, how low our country has sunk, in less than 4 years. The middle east wars have expanded into Libya, Yemen, Pakistan and Syria, the lobbyists are constant guests at the White House, ARRA went AWOL at our expense, banks and corporations that should have been allowed to fail have been bailed out, "tax the rich for fairness" plan is named after a billionaire who owes over a billion in back taxes, the unions make the labor regulations, the next bubble (student loans) continues to expand ready to explode, FLOTUS uses the taxpayers as her personal credit line for lavish vacations, scandals like pustules on a horny adolescent’s face are popping in the Secret Service, a national health insurance plan that over 70% of the people don’t want is being implemented weekly even as 26 states have taken it to the Supreme Court.

If Mitt Romney is elected, and he wasn’t my first choice because he is not a Conservative, I expect at least a short term boom in the economy just from business owners being able to breath easier, and fewer people looking over their shoulder for the government busy bodies. It is a thriving economy that helps the low income, that best educates the children, that pays off the student loan, that puts people into their own homes, that assures the immigrant he can start a company like Google and become a billionaire.
