"The parallels between Obama and Carter are already frightening. Carter was elected not on the strength of his resume, which, like Obama's was slim-to-anorexic, but rather because Americans were fed up with Republicans. Carter presented himself as trustworthy, civil, and unwaveringly smiley. His code word "trust" -- distancing himself from Richard Nixon's dishonesty --passed for policy. His politics were initially vague, but soon emerged as startlingly left-wing. During his campaign, instead of fleshing out meaningful stances on the issues of the day, he repeatedly vowed never to lie to the American people. This pledge was broken on more than one occasion, for example, when he lied about the firing of U.S. Attorney David Marston, who had undertaken an investigation into corruption among Pennsylvania's Democrats."
