17. Intelligent DUers see several tell-tale signs.
The others may have shorter memories or not be paying attention.

4. Carter was the first President to be tough on the Apartheid regime in South Africa
Edited on Tue Dec-01-09 06:41 PM by ck4829
That's just one accomplishment of his that was not only for America but for human rights all over the world.

"Carter" should be considered a mantle of honor.

6. Many here thought he was going to be another Carter and that's why they voted for him.
I voted for him because of the consequences and I support him 100 percent.

What's sad is so many are turning on our president when he is only doing what he said he was going to during the campaign.

14. You've convinced me to never support a loser again
Edited on Tue Dec-01-09 07:02 PM by DireStrike
I will only vote for people who get sizeable majorities of the vote. I won't vote in their first election, of course... how am I to know if they're losers yet?

16. No, actually. I criticize the president because I don´t want him to succumb
to what ruined the Carter presidency.

Jimmy Carter is probably the greatest man to inhabit the oval office. But he failed to execute the office effectively.

Carter coddled a brutal dictator whom he KNEW was violating human rights, one of Carter´s core principles. He failed to follow his instincts and his core values and everything turned to shit.

I think Obama is also a great man.

I want him to be EFFECTIVE and keep his core principles in tact.

So if I see him cross the line, I will say so.

20. So far he can't seem to decide if he's Johnson or Nixon. Carter would be a step up.
