i saw this and thought it was telling: “Carter’s approval rating was just 31 percent on the eve of the 1980 election, and was at 34 percent in late December of that year, the last measure taken during his presidency. But now 64 percent approve of how Carter handled his job as president.” (from http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/07/polls.former.presidents/)
he sent me a xmas card. hooray. and if oliver stone’s W is accurate at all, it would seem that w would prefer to have either obama or clinton next to him instead of his father.
Actually I find it interesting that probably the most liberal of all those presidents are wearing Red ties, and the more conservatives are wearing blue. (While I wouldn’t consider Obama “conservative”…I would think he’s a little more to the center then Clinton and Carter).
clinton was center-left
carter was just left
bush 1 was center right
bush 2 was center right (he definitely wasn’t conservative)
and obama is no where near the center. he’s just left-left-left-left.
and as the loony leftist, i’d like to just say that it’s basically elemental requirements that universal health care, immediate de-escalation and ASAP end of both wars, clean alternative energy, end of the death penalty, IMMEDIATE OVERTURNING AND APOLOGIZING FOR THE PATRIOT ACT (we’ve now had 2 inaugurations where the person being sworn in lied when they said they would defend the constitution), etc. etc. etc. are required. i like obama as a dude, but he as a politician meets none of those requirements. so, people can yell “commie pinko left winger!” all they want, but it’s simply not the case. he’s a centrist – nearly everyone in the entire congress is…and that’s why nothing really changes.

Not a legacy between ’em.
Finally, the band has a rhythm section!
“i just farted”
seriously though, where’s Carter?

I saw that today too.
But I’m confused by the “where’s carter?” He’s the guy on the far right.
Bush 1 – “It’s not prudent that they stuck me all the way back here!”
Obama – “Seriously…did they have to stick me between the Bushes”
Bush 2 – “Which camera am I looking at?”
Clinton – “Little do they know what I used these couches for!”
Carter – “Someone Change my daiper!”
ironic that jimmy’s on the far right
he sent me a xmas card. hooray. and if oliver stone’s W is accurate at all, it would seem that w would prefer to have either obama or clinton next to him instead of his father.
Only one of us won’t be getting any sleep for the next four years.

*Braces himself for a good ol’ fashioned “Clinton was a no good centrist” rant from Tim B. * 😆
i’m too worn down to rant. i’ll just link my blog to said effect.

good grief!
clinton was center-left
carter was just left
bush 1 was center right
bush 2 was center right (he definitely wasn’t conservative)
and obama is no where near the center. he’s just left-left-left-left.
This is why I love the people I roll with.
Tim has the same laundry list of reasons why Obama’s a no good centrist.
Stem (and Jess in a comment from a long time ago) have already resigned themselves to believe that Obama is “the most liberal President ever.”
Despite my reputation. I’m only two clicks left of center. I’m a Reagan Obamamaniac. Can such a thing exist? 😆
ronald (6) wilson (6) reagan (6) = antichrist
that’s why he only ate the red jelly beans 🙂
