Obama is Pulling Ahead of Carter.............by Dan Freidman

"The U.S. has never tried so hard and failed so utterly to make and keep friends in the Third World.”


Take a stroll down memory lane with the the late, great Jeanne Kirkpatrick and see if you can recognize the striking similarities between a peanut farmer’s costly errors in 1979 and a community organizer’s costly errors today. Of course, due to inflation, contemporary errors cost us lots more than they did thirty years ago. Not even the clear-eyed Kirkpatrick ever imagined that even the worst future president would stand aside and watch Carter’s Iran obtain nuclear weapons.
