Carter: Is underrated. Much of what he told the American people has come to pass. Issues we face today, he warned us about decades earlier. The problem is, Americans don't want to be told the truth. Instead, they want to hear what sounds good, they want to believe we can spend forever, that everything is going to be okay etc. Result? Trickle-Down Economics of President Reagan which saw spending increase to unprecedented levels.
Bush: Very determined to fight terrorists, but ineffective in his understanding how to work with the international body to get it done. Deficits ballooned under him, relations with many countries were strained. The end of his presidency was capped by the economic crisis which soured what little support he had with the American people.
Obama: Just like some people on a rebound from a bad relationship tend to go to the first person that tells them what they want to hear - the American people fell in love with Obama's 'sweet' talk, compared to Bush he was like a godsend, a man with a messiah like quality, and people who were so utterly disappointed in Bush, swarmed to support Obama. Now, our deficits are growing at an ever more accelerated rate. There is talk of the US defaulting under the load of its debt. Wall Street is cashing in while Mainstreet is left in tatters. Wars that were suppose to end, are instead expanding. What was promised is not what is being delivered and Americans are once again becoming disillusioned.
The real issue here is that Americans are downright awful at picking presidents. They don't choose based on logic, but instead on emotions. They get swept away by the hype, the promises, the spin in the media and ultimately choose wrong. The only candidate that really made sense in the last election, one who spoke honestly, and much of what he said has been proven correct is Ron Paul. That is not to say I agree with him on every point, but compared to McCain & Obama he was the better choice. Something that is proven by the fact that much of what he was saying during the election is now being spoken by more and more Republicans and Democrats - HR 1207 is a testament to this.
Isn't it about time Americans wake up and listen to this guy?
