I was reading this article in the New York Times today, and I couldn't believe they didn't mention Carter's use of the phrase, New Foundation. Thoughts?

You refer to 28 years of wrong headed Reaganism. Are you referring to the 28 years of the greatest prosperity our country has ever seen?? I'll take that wrong-headedness over losing our individual rights like we are doing under this Joker and his friend Timithy Geitner (a.k.a. Tax-Cheat!!)

President Obama used a parable that had a meaning defined by Jesus in which Jesus Himself was the Rock in which a man should build his life... Obama's 'rock' or 'new foundation..,' was he too referring to Jesus or was he referring to something that would otherwise belittle Christ Himself? Is government supposed to be the rock American's are now to build their lives than on God? Depending on the meaning of Obama's parable tells you where his faith lies... and where it doesn't.

Of what? Trans-National Socialism? More flim-flam from the "Empty O'Man"... Say I like that... Bumper stickers anyone?

an echo of Carter. Obama is the voters' response to 28 years of wrong-headed Reaganism. And Obama is doing just fine, despite his many speechless detractors who can't think of a thing to say. Carter? Good grief.
