Jerry’s Ink: What If He’s Not Another Jimmy Carter? What If He’s Another Gorbachev?

[Guest SUNTZU]

Separated at birth: Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev and Barack Obama.

Both young, dynamic, smarter and smoother than their predecessors. Both hold a Masters in Law. Both have received the Nobel Peace Prize. Gorbachev, after he destroyed his evil empire; Obama before he destroys our wonderful country. From the very beginning both promised change.

As Barack Obama has done 23 years later, Gorbachev first concentrated on health care reform. In Gorbachev’s case it was an anti-alcohol campaign. What could be more popular and more admirable than a campaign to stop the consumption of alcohol, which was destroying the livers and productivity of millions of Russian men, women and children? It’s right up there with providing overnight health care benefits for 30 million uninsured Americans as the right thing to do.

Archie Brown, in his book The Gorbachev Factor, writes: “The changes in what used to be the Soviet Union have been so great that one forgets how modest were the expectations when Mikhail Gorbachev took over as top Soviet leader in March 1985. Neither Soviet citizens nor foreign observers imagined the USSR was about to be transformed out of existence.”

Think of that and think back to that little tingle we all felt as Barack Obama, perhaps the greatest presidential speaker in history, led his millions of chanting supporters in a chorus of “Yes we can, yes we can!” Did anyone think to ask, “Yes we can what?” Yes, we can tax this country into an economic meltdown.

Maltsev wrote: “The sad legacy of Marxism is the mindset of certain people, both in the East and West, who believe that the state can cure all economic ills and bring about social justice.”

Is that Barack Obama I hear chanting “Yes we can?”

Obama is the anti-moses. He's leading us out of the promised land.

I never thought about comparing Obama to him. That's

real good. It's so easy to compare him to little Jimmy

Carter.Two buffoons.

I will give credit to Reagan for

killing the USSR, though. Gorbachev couldn't win the

fight from an honorable President with resolve, like

Reagan. That may be overly simplistic, but that's how

I saw it.

Idealogically, Obama and Gorbachev were struck from

similar molds, but Gorbachev was a pragmatist. Obama

is just a narcissistic socialist idealogue with no real world

experience and not much of a job history. That's why

he must fail, instead of the country.

Big Zero and his minuions are doing everything they can to deliberately collapse the economy. They are hoping that when things fall apart we will all beg for them to helps us and take care of us so that they can institute a Marxist reginme. That we beg them to feed us and cloth us and make the pain go away. I just hope people will realize just who is to blame and take this country back and make it back into the Constitutional Republic it once was and should be.

More like the "Trail of Tears". We will be driven out, not led out.
