"His base is the young people"

Yeah, all the people that didn't live through Carter and don't know any history.  Ask anybody that lived through Carter about Barack Obama and they'll all tell you the same thing, he's another Carter and this country doesn't need 4 more years of Carter.  There's a reason the conservative talk shows all refer to him as Carter 2.  Everything Obama wants to do, Carter already tried, with disastrous results.  You guys want to know how Carter got elected?  The people wanted change and Carter was a Democrat.  Ford was the sitting Republican President that pardoned Nixon and the people wanted something different.

4 years later, Reagan won in a landslide.

Change is fine, but Obama is the wrong kind of change.

If Obama wins, we may in fact witness history repeat itself.  4 years of shit, to be followed by a landslide win of the most conservative president we've had since Reagan.  I only hope Obama doesn't win.

What's even funnier is all these guys that were in their 20s when Carter was elected.  They probably weren't paying attention to anything that was really going on at the time or they were high on drugs.  Either way, even they don't remember the shit this country went through.  It seems that only people in their 30s and 40s at the time are the ones that really remember how bad it was.
