Larry Sabato is waiting for it:
In a Tweet no president could love, political analyst and University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato, raises the specter of yesteryear, and not in a good way.
“And Obama? POTUS looks weak, irrelevant, Carter-ized–at least for now. Any day, I expect him to be attacked by a killer rabbit.”
When Larry Sabato sees a killer rabbit looming ahead, the White House should be worried.
For you youngsters out there, the “killer rabbit” was a rabbit which attacked Jimmy Carter in 1979 and became part of the Carter legend…it just crystallized a growing American conviction that Carter wasn’t in any way, shape or form fit to be President of the United States.. As Obama has tended to follow the Carter model, we can only expect such a thing to happen, soon. Our only worry is that we’ll also land in a “Hostage Crisis” event, as well.

I’m hearing rumors that bams went out and bought a spear then found a majic helmet. Wait…wait…wait..That only defends agaist wabbits not rabbits. 🙂
The so-called killer rabbit incident was a quotidian occurrence blown out of all proportion by people having no connection with Carter or his rural lifestyle. Wikipedia has it exactly right here: “The incident with the rabbit became fodder for political and ideological opponents who attempted to frame Carter’s presidency as hapless and enfeebled.”
Just like those who used Kerry’s wind-surfing to portray him as a flip-flopper – there was zero actual relationship, it was completely manufactured by clever editing. But the shallow suckers among the electorate lapped it up; a wholly contrived association became reality inside their brains, and so political history was altered. This doesn’t tell us anything at all about the real character of either Carter or Kerry – only about public credulity, and the crassness of psychological political manipulation.
There’s a sucker born every minute, and if that were not so the GOP would not have a leg to stand on.

Funny thing was, Carter didn’t really need help; he did a pretty good job of appearing “hapless and enfeebled” all by himself, from telling people to suck it up and wear a sweater to ruining dozens of athletes dreams by pulling out of the Moscow Olympics in response to the Soviets’ incursion into Afghanistan.

The Democrats have their share of suckers as well. Were it not for other people’s money, they wouldn’t have a pot to piss in.
And since Ama will probably challenge my use of “quotidian” (which means commonplace), I’ll edit that to say “mundane”. Of course a scared swamp rabbit doesn’t swim toward your fishing boat every day, but when you live in the country all kinds of odd things will happen – as even she no doubt will attest.
I had a scared fox run into my house one night a couple years ago, and for a few seconds I did a very panicky dance to try and get it out – which was successful, but no doubt would have photographed very badly. You improvise and move on. If there were a camera crew and intrusive news people around to report and interpret your every move, at some point anyone would be made fun of. How much credence one gives that kind of reportage, however, is an indication of political sophistication or the lack thereof.
As for Carter’s fitness for the presidency and Mark tying that to the hostage crisis, this further demonstrates a set of false relationships. The Iranian hostage crisis was the outgrowth of American policies over decades that had zero to do with Carter or his competency. To try and link the two is to intellectually dishonest and/or demonstrates a pathetic understanding of history – both par for course here at B4V.
Weakness breeds agression. Carter was the weakest potus ever seen. Alqueda mistook Dubya as weak. They found out different. bams is weak. bams is a paper tiger. All yoy have to do is look at this so calle ” kinetic military action” in libya. But you are the expert…..
Actually, Dennis, “commonplace” is a secondary meaning of “quotidian”. The primary meanings are occurring every day, or belonging to each day, neither of which makes much sense in the context you used it. You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble and a second, snotty, condescending post by just using “commonplace” in the first place. I realize that wouldn’t have made you sound as intelligent in your own mind, but trust me; no one here is under the illusion that you’re intelligent anyway.

I wonder why dennis doesn’t heed his own advice when it comes to Sarah Palin. Any thoughts dennis?

Another “killer rabbit” moment for the obAMATEUR administration:
IRAQ MORE DANGEROUS NOW THAN ONE YEAR AGO!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2020526/Iraq-MORE-dangerous-amid-resurgence-violence-Shiite-militias.html
Hmmm….. not much press coverage on this during a DEMOCRAT administration. We of course, remember the coverage during Bush. The facts that there are more casualties in Afghanistan than there were during Bush escapes the attention of the obAMATEUR friendly media.
Afghanistan will turn just as in Iraq once obAMATEUR sticks to some poll determined deadline and removes the troops.
