You guys are sure getting cocky about an election that is a year away and your current leading candidate has a scandal brewing with his Gardisil Executive Order. Remember Obama has the unions and the MSM on his side and they have the money and tools to control the narrative. Last poll i saw he didn't lose to any named Republican.

"We will support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and success of liberty." has to be the dumbest thing any president has ever said with a straight face.

What did JFK do to support liberty in China? Brazil? the USSR? NOTHING!

And this country, with 6% of the world's population could NEVER do this. Nor should any president say that it is their intent. That is how we got mixed up in Vietnam, and we saw how well THAT turned out.
The US can take advantage of particular opportunities, such as in Libya and Egypt, from time to time, to support local movements for self-determination and reform. "Opposing any foe" is not what JFK did, nor is it what he should have done.

JFK was highly overrated. He had good speechwriters, and that's about it.

There was only ONE thing positive I can recall: he wasn't Nixon.


It is hyperbole, but it isn't stupid.
If Americans are not in favor of human freedom then we have no creed.
It certainly isn't true that we do absolutely anything to ensure the success of free people , but I am pleased when we can be helpfull.

Being in favor of human freedom is find.

FIGHTING for the freedom of what was in 1961 was a majority of the population of the entire planet was not something that the US could do with our 6% of the population. Most of the world in 1961 was ruled by one sort of dictatorship or another.

In 1961, the US record for supporting freedom was pretty awful. The governments of Taiwan and Korea were brutal dictatorships. So was Portugal and Spain, our NATO allies, and their colonies.  There was oppression in British and French colonies, and even Mexico, right on our border, had political prisoners. Most of the people JFK sent to recolonize Cuba in the Bay of Pigs fiasco were Batistianos and others who would have imposed another dictatorship.

JFK's statement was impractical and foolish. As I said, his main advantage was not being Nixon, who was even worse. Plus, he was better looking, and so was his wife.

Why won't XO name any accomplishments of Obama?

Why is he discussing JFK and Nixon in this thread where it doesn't belong?

Why should I write one word of anything, just to be insulted by knucklewalking ratbag rightwingers such as you?

Why post a silly cartoon of JFK saying something stupid like it actually was worthy of saying?

I can comment on any damned thing I wish, and you cannot do one thing about it.

Why are you insulting everybody in this thread? You were just asked to name one accomplishment of Obama. It is obviously clear why you won't.

Anytime I say anything about our President or the Democrats, I get insulted with reams of illogical lies and trash It isn't worth the bother, and I am not playing any stupid games with right wing morons. None of you is remotely interested in the truth, anyway.
