Obama beats Carter’s timetable

If I may borrow a quote from Yogi Berra, “It’s déjà vu all over again.” That is exactly the thought that came to mind after learning President Obama had announced his 2012 re-election campaign via e-mail. After learning that. I immediately flashed back to the 1980 presidential campaign between Ronald Reagan and President Jimmy Carter. In the final debate between the two candidates, Reagan asked the American people if “they were better off today than they were four years ago.” Well are you? Congratulations, President Obama it took you only two years. Grant L. Keehn
