| #6 I'm betting it will be worse than Carter. Obama will be this generation's Hoover. And he doesn't have the Quaker background to allow him to deal in a civil fashion with his chickens coming home to roost. |

| #5 It will be very interesting, indeed, to see how President Obama looks back on his Nobel Peace Prize and his AfPak war as he looks back on his record from the perspective of December 2012, play4keeps... and again what he thinks a generation from now. One only hopes, for his sake, that he doesn't turn out as bitter as former president Carter. |
