"Forward" to the Past: Obama's Channeling Jimmy Carter

Obama's "Forward" Leninist campaign slogan is forward to the past. It's amazing how many phrases, ideas and concepts of Carter are being re-mouthed by Obama.

Then there's this. Carter acceptance speech of the Democratic nomination in 1980. Under is are the statements Obama made in his acceptance speech a couple weeks ago.

OBAMA: The truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. It will require common effort and shared responsibility and the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one.

CARTER 1980: [W]e have a memory of Franklin Roosevelt, 40 years ago, when he said that there are times in our history when concerns over our personal lives are overshadowed by our concern over "what will happen to the country we have known." This is such a time, and I can tell you that the choice to be made this year can transform our own personal lives and the life of our country as well.

........................................................................................................................................

OBAMA: The choice you face won't just be between two candidates or two parties. It will be a choice between two different paths for America, a choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future.

CARTER 1980: This election is a stark choice between two men, two parties, two sharply different pictures of what America is and what the world is, but it's more than that. It's a choice between two futures.

.............................................................................................................................................

OBAMA:  Today the United States of America is less dependent on foreign oil than at any time in the last two decades.

You can choose the path where we control more of our own energy. ...

Today the United States of America is less dependent on foreign oil than at any time in the last two decades. So now you have a choice, between a strategy that reverses this progress, or one that builds on it.

We've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration in the last (pause) three years, and we'll open more.

I will not let oil companies write this country's energy plan or endanger our coastlines...

CARTER 1980:  The battle to secure America's energy future has been fully and finally joined. Americans have cooperated with dramatic results. We've reversed decades of dangerous and growing dependence on foreign oil. We are now importing 20 percent less oil. That is one-and-a-half million barrels of oil every day less than the day I took office.  This is what they propose: to destroy the windfall profits tax and to unleash the oil companies and let them solve the energy problem for us.

.........................................................................................................................................

OBAMA:  Times have changed, and so have I.  I'm no longer just a candidate.  I'm the president.  I know what it means to send young Americans into battle.  For I've held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn't return.  I've shared the pain of families who lost their homes and the frustration of workers who've lost their jobs.  While I'm very proud of what we've achieved together, I'm far more mindful of my own failings, knowing exactly what Lincoln meant when he said, "I have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that I had no place else to go."

CARTER 1980:  Let me talk for a moment about what that job is like and what I've learned from it.  I've learned that only the most complex and difficult task comes before me in the Oval Office.  No easy answers are found there, because no easy questions come there.  I've learned that for a president, experience is the best guide to the right decisions.  I'm wiser tonight than I was four years ago.  And I have learned that the presidency is a place of compassion.  My own heart is burdened for the troubled Americans, the poor and the jobless and the afflicted.  They've become part of me.

Jimmy Carter's "Malaise" Speech - Obama Remix

This is most amazing. Carter's infamous speech, played with Obama's utterances. Mirror Mirror

Still Questioning If Dems Anti-Military?

There was John Murtha accusing American Soldiers of murder.

There was John Kerry saying American Soldiers were kicking in doors of people and terrorizing them.

There was Harry "Dusty" Reid saying the war was lost.

There was Jimmy Carter that gutted the military financially and completely demoralized it. I was in the Navy during his administration and have first hand knowledge of the havoc visited upon the US Military.

Now we have Barney Frank, primary designer of the the meltdown of the real estate and finance sectors of our economy, wanting to do to the military what Carter did. He formed a commission called the Sustainable Defense Task Force. They are made up of "scholars"! Anyone surprised that during the Obama administration, that has the highest number of academics in its administration than any previous presidency, has Dems forming committees with only ivory tower eggheads on it, and no experienced people?

This group of "scholars" has recommended about $960 billion between 2011 and 2020 to be cut from the military.

Big cuts in the crucial F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. Major slowdown in procurement of a new midair refueling tanker that the Air force says is crucial to keep on schedule. Big cuts in the Navy, reducing the fleet to 230 ships instead of the 313 the Navy says it needs to be effective and combat ready. That's just the hardware needed to protect this nation, something the Dems are against. If the Dems were for protecting the country, they wouldn't be wanting to cut a military already running on fumes, and they would protect our borders.

The V-22 Osprey program and the Marine Corps’s Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle would be cut entirely.

Missiles and bombers would be drastically reduced. The number of missiles and nuclear warheads on submarines would be drastically reduced.

What else is in this, is the devastation to the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. Medical services to the warriors and their families will be cut $60 billion by "reforming" their medical services. They want to "reform" military compensation to save about $55 billion.
