Jimmy Carter II




Oh really, Obambi doesn't take oil money?
It's true that Obama doesn't take money directly from oil companies, but then, no presidential, House or Senate candidate does. They can't: Corporations have been prohibited from contributing directly to federal candidates since the Tillman Act became law in 1907.

Obama has, however, accepted more than $213,000 in contributions from individuals who work for, or whose spouses work for, companies in the oil and gas industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That's not as much as Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has received more than $306,000 in donations from people tied to the industry, but it's still a substantial amount.

He lies too, Liberals lie, like the free lunch, Liberalism is a lie. Can't really see how anybody would buy into his shuck and jive two step.

It's illegal for corporations to give money to political candidates, so you can chalk that up to either shuck or jive, your choice. But you knew that, right?

...

If you missed Democrat Pres Jimmy Carter I and the horrors that matching him up with a Democrat Congress yielded, you will love the re-runs. There is no way to explain the pain, despair and misery caused by Jimmy Carter I and his attempt to manage energy.

Key word here is windfall profits tax. Only people pay taxes, not corporations.

Here is how it went, one even days if your license plate ended in a even digit, you got to wait in line for 4-5 hours to get 5 gallons of gas. If you wanted to buy another car, you needed cash, it was impossible to finance a car at 20% + interest rates. If you wanted to buy a house, the interest rate was over 18% -- calculate your payments on that and see if you can afford it. And that was for people who were working. Most businesses basically shuttered and suspended operations. Sort of like what is going on in Venezuela right now, another one of the leftists darlings.

You go Obama, I and rooting for you. Every few years, people need a refresher course on how bad it can really get and how quickly it happens. Put your money in cash bonds and stand by, it's going to be another bender ride, a real rough one. This time, you have to add the Iranian nukes and the black racism, so an Obama Presidency could really top Jimmy Carter I. Heck all Jimmy Carter did was give Iran to the mullahs, and start the whole world terror thing, this time the world might actually blow up.
