Obama Scolds Media

Obama blanketed the Sunday morning talk shows, appearing on every network with a Sunday morning news program except Fox this morning. His talking points included scolding reporters for covering what he called "rude" and "outrageous" comments. "The easiest way to get 15 minutes on the news ... is to be rude. ... That's something that I think needs to change," Obama said.

Of course, the most outrageous and rude comment in the news recently has been that of Jimmy Carter calling half of his fellow citizens racists. "I think people who are guilty of that kind of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he happens to be a black man."

For once I'm with Obama. Carter is irrelevant. This shouldn't have been played.

Cartoon of the Day

This one came from (was stolen from) Red over at Caught Him With A Corndog. (I still don't know the significance of the Blog's name, but it's clever.)

Jimmy Cahtah, yesterday (or was it the day before), said, in effect, that much or most of the opposition to Obama was based on racial bias. Specifically, he said that those opposed to Obama's policies were opposed on the basis that Obama is "a black man."

Poor Jimmy is getting senile, and it's showing.

More Idiocy From The Worst President Of All Time

Jimmy Carter, America's worst president ever, has just topped himself. By now, you may have heard, Jimmy has left the Southern Baptist Church, a group he has been affiliated with for over 60 years.

Why?

Because the Southern Baptists will not ordain women. Apparently, Carter believes that the Southern Baptists refusal to ordain women (it goes deeper than just that issue, but not much) leads to all kinds of evil:

At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own communities.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter refuses to denounce Palestinian terrorists and other Muslim groups whose treatment of women makes the Southern Baptists look like N.O.W.

Do a google search and see that Palestinians are now raping women in order to get them to become suicide bombers (to save their souls). Muslim nations condone rape in all flavors and subjugates women in a way that is reminiscent of slavery.

While liberals will fail to see the hypocrisy, they will applaud this action. I'm just curious why, after 60 years, given that the Southern Baptists have not changed their position, does Carter choose to leave the Church now?

Why Jimmy Carter Loves Obama

The Obama/MainstreamMedia love affair isn't the only one going on in the White House today. There is a mutual love affair between Jimmy Carter and Obama.

This isn't hard to figure out. Both ran their campaigns on "Change". Both came from nowhere. Carter was a peanut farmer with limited experience as the governor of Georgia. Obama, a community organizer with a very limited experience in Congress. Neither had/has the experience or background to run the country. Jimmy Carter sat back as a young Ahmadinejad held Americans hostage in Iran. Obama is sitting back as the same man holds a whole nation hostage.

Carter inherited a bad economy. Nixon and Ford were neither one conservative and expanded government after Lyndon Johnson passed the most expansive government programs since FDR. Carter led the way into a period of deeper recessions, stagnation, inflation, high interest rates, home mortgage defaults, interest rate hikes increased oil prices. On the foreign front, he scaled back the military and looked weak at a time that the US needed to look strong.

Does any of that sound familiar?

At a time in our history when he was handed the keys to the country to turn things around, Jimmy Carter drove us into a ditch. It took Ronald Reagan most of his first term to get us out.

As Obama frequently point out, he inherited some problems. Like Carter, he seems intent on making them worse. Obama hammers George W. Bush on deficits and then proceeds to quadruple them. Obama hammers Bush on his Mid East policy at the very time in history that things appear to be affirming Bush's stance. Obama hammers Bush on the economy while the American people are rapidly losing confidence in his own ability to have a positive impact. 

Jimmy Carter's love for Obama is more than just the similarities they share. It's more than the fact that the share a party. It's more than the fact they both get good lovin' from Hugo Chavez. There's something else going on. 

The real reason Carter loves Obama is legacy. Barack Obama is promising to replace Jimmy Carter as The Worst President in the history of the United States. 

For that, Jimmy Carter will be eternally grateful to Mr. Obama.
