Barack Obama, in a Feb. 2, 2009 interview on the Today show said, “If I don’t have this done in three years, then this is going to be a one‑term proposition.” This was in reference to the economic stimulus plan.
Now, compare that to another moment in history.
On Feb. 19, 1933, Adolf Hitler, in his first speech since his rise to Chancellor at the Berlin Sports Palace said, “People of Germany, give us four years and I swear, that as I took office, so will I leave it!” Also referring to the economic crisis.
Promises, promises.
Just goes to show… history repeats itself in many forms.
