"Obama is slipping into a place where the nation barely tolerates him until he can be elected out of office, exactly as we did with Jimmy Carter."

"I'm not trying to say that the Carter years were some kind of good old days or even that Carter was a good President (because they weren't and he wasn't), but those Carter years start looking pretty darn good compared to what Obama's brought us, so that should tell you how bad things really are."

"Jimmy Carter has got to be one smiling, happy man today. It's being reported that Obama's recovery is the worst ever since the Great Depression, so Carter may no longer reign as the worst president in history."

"Jon Huntsman was endorsed by Jimmy Carter. Do you have to know any more than that?"

"We face a perilous future unless we change course as soon as possible at this moment in history. The thing that's different between now and the 'are you better off?' Reagan/Carter moment is this: Today we are facing an even more dire future than you could possibly have faced then."
