Obama is the most inexperienced man to be elected in modern times. He is not capable of dealing with the issues at hand. That is understandable and when you add the weak congress, the bad results should be expected by everyone. Voters failed to do their job and did not elect good people into office. That few would argue with...hopefully that will change in November. As to all this old garbage about President 30 years ago...that is simply a distraction away from today's problems and people should not get caught up in that agenda. Pay attention to today and the future, that is what matters.
