Howdy Once More –
Time to do a little retrospecting. I couldn’t do it all in one minute – so, I’ll take two: one today – another tomorrow.
There’s a lot to be said in comparing Barak and John McCain. First they’re both running as outsiders – but note: That’s how Jimmy Carter ran his campaign. He was largely an unknown quantity to the ‘Old Bulls’ of the Democrat party in
Just like Carter, Obama, has profited from the splintering of the Democrats in the primary battles. --- And like Carter, while he hasn’t claimed the White House yet, he is campaigning as if he’s already there. The problem is if elected, he’ll have to go around and patch up the fences and smooth out the bomb craters he’s left in his path on the campaign trail. Although Jimmy Carter tried to appease his
Most seasoned observers think those same land mines await an Obama presidency. Only Dick Morris seems to talk about it – and his venom is largely discounted as being a oft repeated song of sour grapes.

Carter and Obama bill themselves as outsiders able to reform Washington but once the peanut farmer from Plaines was in the White House, the liberals who pulled the congressional strings, put their loyalties to their own special interests ahead of his and after three years his presidency had become unraveled mostly because he could not control his fellow Democrats.
We’ll conclude the comparison on tomorrow’s Just a Minute. Tune in –
