Obama is in danger of being "Carterized." Romney is using a simplistic but powerful line: this president is a nice guy who is in over his head. What makes this tactic effective is that the right has seized the narrative and made a convincing case built on false claims. Here are a few.
As the one who was in charge of the CIA side of the attempted hostage rescue mission in Iran in 1980, what jumps out at me from a reading of a two-part piece in Time is the feeling that Barack Obama would have gone ahead with the operation that Jimmy Carter called off.
While America does not have a royal family to promote its brand, people and products around the world, it does have an untapped resource with its own brand of royal magic: former presidents and first ladies.
Mitt Romney, whose business experience enabled him to be 47th in the nation with respect to job growth when he was a one-term governor of Massachusetts, has told us that he is going to "restore" America.
It's rising gas prices -- the pocketbook issue -- that's really breathing new life into the "Carter analogy."

"I felt that one of the reasons that I was elected President was to try to bring peace to the Holy Land."
From Lyndon Johnson to George W. Bush, each commander-in-chief has made lasting accomplishments that warrant our collective praise.
Newt Gingrich appears no more unelectable today than Ronald Reagan at a similar point in 1980. Similarly Barack Obama appears no more re-electable than did President Carter. History teaches that desperate times often give rise to desperate measures.
This month Obama poll watchers got some good news, and some bad news. This was capped off by the Washington punditocracy making a stupid comparison between polling for Obama and Carter.
Obama is a disappointment. If he despises Netanyahu, let him not play games with the American Jewish community and feign friendship for votes.
Recognizing that women's rights will take a devastating hit if Republicans return to power in 2012, Democratic women are rising to face the challenge.
When assessing green energy subsidies, a little history helps.
