I've been saying for a long time now that Obama is a Carter on steroids, but always with the hopeful comment that four years of Carter brought us eight years of Reagan. Someone else gets in on the game:
Here's the scary thing for the new White House: the terrifying words "Jimmy Carter" have started appearing in print and on the air, recalling the ex-Georgia governor's ineptness and apparent powerlessness in handling his Iranian (hostage) issues in the late 1970s. That impression lead to 12 years of Reagan-Bush Republican White Houses.
Hey, LA Times, I couldn't have said it better myself. Oh, I already did. Repeatedly.(Click on "Cartobama" category along the right to see those posts.)

I think Obama is going to combine the worst aspects of the Clinton and Carter administrations--Carter's competence and foreign policy, and Clinton's administration-wide penchant for scandals. (I'm not talking about interns, but all the other stuff.)
