What current political ideology, person, or practice could be substituted in place of "Jimmy Carter" within this Reagan quote?

Nancy Pilosi

@Cruiser I’m watching and waiting.

The easy answer is Obama,but this time I will go with Ben Bernanke. ;)

Rush Limbo (is that how you spell it?)

Glenn Beck

Mitch McConnell and John Boehner

You can substitute any politician’s name for Carter’s and please somebody. That’s the point of political rhetoric (and rhetoric in general): it’s an all-purpose, mix-and-match sampler plate of bon mots.

But like most sampler plates, anyone with a refined taste will look at it and ask, “Where’s the beef?”

Ah, the eighties.

@janbb Me Too!

@Cruiser We finally agree on something political, my old pal!

@janbb Kodak moment! :))
