In spite of what we've been told, Clinton wasn't a liberal. He was a member of the Democratic Leadership Council. His wife was a liberal and made so many mistakes that it was easy to hem in Bill.

So Bobby has never really lived under a liberal Federal Government.

Jimmy Carter is probably as real to him as Abraham Lincoln. Bobby never had to watch a President on TV proclaim that "America's best days are behind her". In response to the "energy crisis", Carter put on a sweater that made him look elderly, and advised us all to put one on too. To "conserve" energy.

Bobby never had to deal with double digit interest rates, long lines at gas stations, shlepping for a job without contacts and other joys of life under the Man from Plains. He never watched our military get the living shit kicked out of them, for example at Desert One, or watched an aggressive world power push us around in Africa, latin America and other places.

Yeah, lines at gas stations. I remember those real well.

Those of us who lived under Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter remember what an activist Democrat is like, and how much fun it is to cope with stupidity on an assembly line basis from the Three Ring Circus along the Potomac River. Especially when they get strident, like when they dick with prices and cause gas lines or decide that we're gonna do things their way whether we like it or not.

Change? Obama is Jimmy Carter with a darker skin and a better education. The people who suffered most under guys like him were kids without education, contacts and connections.

Bobby is gonna be wailing by 2010, if he's not shot in the head at a gas station because he got cute with another person waiting in line for their ration.

Anyone remember "Odd" and "Even" days? Ever heard of that, Bobby? Better get acquainted with it, it means that you could buy gasoline if the last number on your license plate was either odd or even. If you had an even number and tried to buy gasoline on an odd day you could get fined. You also had a five dollar per gallon minimum per visit. These were meant to curb gas lines, which occur when guys like Obama or Jimmy Carter start to dick with gasoline prices.

Enjoy the Change, Bobby.
