The problem is, you're letting fear rule your thinking. You're shouting "wake up people", but wake up to what? Vote for Hillary? McCain? Or is it just a general yell of "we're all doooooomed" which really serves no purpose other than perhaps a cathartic one for you?
I was for Edwards first. I'm left with a choice between Clinton and Obama and in the end they're about the same. Either one holds better hope than McCain.
And even if Obama falls short of what I suggested, much less what you suggested, it still doesn't equal Carter, who himself was a much better President than is generally acknowledged. It doesn't have to end the same way, 30 years separate the Carter presidency from now. We've had a long time to see just how bad Reagan and the Bushs have been. Point it out to people every time they start extolling Reagan's napping ability and propensity for betraying America.
