Actually, I'm not so sure he does realize that. If not, bad move. Because it does feel a lot like 1979.With rising gas prices, rising inflation as a result of his endless money printing, crippling national debt of $14.2 Trillion, and the monetary system and economy teetering on the brink of collapse, this idiot was out there this week lobbing partisan bombs and talking up tax increases, class warfare and the need for "cooler" phones in the White House. Two words: Welcome Back, Carter.
Frankly, that's an insult to Carter, who was utterly hapless as a president but not nearly as bad, in my estimation, as Obama and Bush -- who have both been much more destructive to this country than Carter was capable of on even his worst day. You might say that Obama and W have presided over an 11-year Symphony of Destruction.
It's really nearly gotten to the point where almost all hope is lost. (See the linked column by Pat Buchanan from wnd.com, describing the "maelstrom" we may be about to enter -- and I think Buchanan's even underestimating a bit the direness of the situation).

These two rotten parties are just going to keep fighting, bickering and accomplishing nothing -- save for the occasional break to conspire together to accomplish nothing under the guise of having accomplished something (e.g. this week's phoney and disingenuous $38 billion "compromise" on 2011 budget "cuts"). Meantime, that debt just keeps growing and growing.
I don't think I'm exaggerating in these sentiments. Get ready, people, for things to get real bad, and sooner rather than later (hope I'm wrong). Gallows humor would seem to be one of the few things we have left to cling to (sorry to end sentence in a preposition).
(Not to mention, the "Welcome Back Kotter" and the Willie Stargell-led "We Are Family" Pittsburgh Pirates of 1979 are very nice memories to re-live on a cold Kansas City night like this one).
