Obama: Jimmy Carter warmed-over

Somebody in Scotland really gets it!

The article at the link below has a realistic interpretation of the upcoming Obama European tour.

YES, folks, it's déjà vu all over again. That charismatic American politician Jimmy Carter II, aka Barack Obama (pictured), is carrying all before him – at least in Europe – riding a tsunami of media-driven hysteria.

When you are possessed of unlimited reserves of rhetoric, boundless ambition, an increasingly undisciplined ego and – er – not a lot else, the soap-box becomes addictive.

German Chancellor can also see through the Obama European sharade.

Obama's bid to deliver one of his substance-free orations at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin has infuriated Chancellor Merkel, galvanized the media and provoked thoughtful calculations among the McCain camp.

The actual déjà vu evoked by Obama is the ill-starred Carter presidency.

The article points out that Carter was the father of the Iranian Revolution which deposed the Shah and set up the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Khomeini executed more people during his first year in power than the Shah had done in 25 years.

Now, over 30 years later, it will truly be déjà vu as Obama has pledged to sit down unconditionally with Iran President Ahmadinejad.
