OK, the Obama=Carter Parallels Are Getting Eerie

A floundering economy, inflation, high and rising gas prices, a messianic and belligerent Iran, swirling turmoil in the Middle East, a halting and apologetic US foreign policy, billions of new subsidies forced down alternative fuel ratholes and wasted on fantastical green utopian visions, nuclear power angst, dismal prospects for college graduates, polarization and social unrest at home over key issues...the Obama era could hardly use another parallel harkening back to the Carter-era malaise. And yet, here come the...bell-bottoms.
