This is a day we won’t soon forget. Because this is the third story we’ve managed to wring out of one Presidential sound bite, an achievement that would make any blogger proud.
“When I woke up this morning and I’m shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she says — did you plug the hole yet Daddy?” he said, recounting how often he thinks of the spill, adding, “I grew up in Hawaii, where the ocean is sacred.”
As if there weren’t already enough reasons to compare Barack Obama to the worst president of the 20th century, this quote gives us another one.
It’s more than just a little reminiscent of the moment during the 1980 Presidential debate when Jimmy Carter announced his daughter Amy was now an official White House policy consultant. Amy was 13 years old at the time. Malia will soon be 12. Oh, those precocious energy-conscious Democrat kids.
Anybody know where we can get one of those “Welcome back, Carter” bumper stickers?

Neither Obama or Carter ever let the truth get in the way of a story.

Chelsea Clinton use to ask her father on a nightly basis the same question-”Did you plug the hole yet daddy?”

He may not be the worst POTUS of the 20th Century, but he is certainly the worst of the 21st…….but that’s not saying much. However I can say he is without a doubt the worst POTUS in my LIFETIME of 66 years.

Obama = Worst U.S. President ever
Carter = Best U.S. President ever!
Here’s the math on that…
1977/1981 4YInflation/5.22% < 11.83% + 3YCOLA/14.3% + 4YInterest rates/20.00% + Gas rationing + 52 hostages in Iran x 444 days – Operation Eagle Claw + Malaise Speech = RONALD W. REAGAN
