Sep 28, 2011 - Back then politics, nationally, were so much more civilized, that something going wrong, anything going wrong, came under great scrutiny and disapproval. It was a completely different world - a time when like the constitution says, we were actually creating a "more perfect union" and there wasn't bad news all the time. There just wasn't that much going wrong in the country back then, and the world wasn't as fanatical either. We've long since lost such comparable innocence and youth
Nominay Says:
Sep 28, 2011 - you're right, that's way off. Obama has no balls and Kennedy's were too big
Nominay Says:
Sep 28, 2011 - Yeah, but quote you cite about going into Vietnam was in 1961 after that freakish meeting with Khrushchev, and after the Bay of Pigs. Fighting communism wasn't optional. His handling of and success with the Cuban Missle Crisis changed things, and Vietnam was looking worse. By June '63 he was talking about Peace with the Soviets, and then he established Detente with Khrushchev which was huge. In Oct 63 Kennedy had 1,000 troops withdrawn, and as soon as LBJ took over, he reversed it.

Oct 6, 2011 - That's what I want my president to sound like with miltary.He's trying to contain the defense budget and doesn't need some congressman using it as an excuse to pad the budget.

Oct 15, 2011 - Wow; sounds as if he just might be parroting how he had heard his dad ripping into tacky and expensive wastes of money; got to appreciate the old timers; mega rich, rich, wealthy, upper-middle, middle, lower-middle .... they surely, no matter how much was rolling in at any point, kept an eagle eye on what was rolling out. Most Americans back then had (or pretended that they did not) a psychotic fear of ending up on the Bowery, so to speak: too many had lost it during 1929-33 not to FEAR RUIN!

Feb 23, 2012 - Imagine if John F. Kennedy were to hop on a time machine, and to travel forward in time to present day society, and to to find out that our corrupted government is spending our hard working tax money very recklessly. JFK will extremely pissed off.

jabtot Says:
Apr 5, 2012 - Imagine if Obama had to deal with REAL problems like nuclear obliteration during the Cuban Missle Crisis. We would all be speaking Russian, Chinese, or be dead. JFK had a backbone. Obama has a slinky.
