Cover of Jimmy CarterThis is a great article over at The Washington Times by Charlie Hurt.It has taken three decades, but Americans are finally living through Jimmy Carter’s second term.
Now we’ve got Jimmy Jr. barking at us from the White House about eating our peas and ripping off our Band-Aid. He might not even let us have our Social Security checks.

What ever happened to the soaring rhetoric and big bold ideas President Obama promised us in that historic election of his?
