Carter had a fancier name to criticize us

With unemployment over 9 per cent, the economy in a shambles, debt over 15 trillion and wasteful spending exploding, Obama has identified the cause -- Americans are lazy.  Remember Jimmy Carter.  Unemployment and inflation were in high double figures when he said the problem was the American people were in a "malaise." That's an old French word meaning, roughly, "out of sorts."    

Carter and Obama have something in common -- they are both miserable failures as president.

Obama is over seas but he has his thoughts on this country enough to blast public schools while sending his children to private schools.   I think our schools would do better if the federal government was completely out of them.  I favor abolishing the Department of Education, but Obama's criticism  while visiting Australian schools was out of line.

Our problems are not because Americans are lazy; they are not.  Get government off our backs and we will compete.  Do away with the EPA regulations added under Obama's rule and companies will begin to hire. The head of Coca Cola has pointed out that it is easier to get permits to build a plant in China than it is in the United States.  Our corporate tax rate must be lowered to make it profitable to operate here. Otherwise, you'll have corporations loved by Obama, like General Electric, figure ways to avoid paying any taxes.
