“JFK could have just followed General Eisenhower’s policy of not getting into a war there.
JFK had much of the vanity and ego problems, and shallowness as Obama.”
Your right JFK could have, followed Eisenhower’s plan in veitname although to tell you the truth I wish he had stuck to Eisenhower’s plan for the bay of pigs instead of compromising it by removing American air support.
If he had done that we probably wouldn’t have had a masacured of our Cuban brothers, and today not only would Cuba be free, but the missile crisis would never have happen. Indeed without that failure the Soviets may not even have had the nerve to put up the Berlin wall in the first place. The USSR may have collapsed a decade early as a result of more free movement of the innovative.
I agree of course JFK was a disaster, in a historic setting that enabled him to do even more damage to the world at large than Obama fortunately can do now in our post Regain, (post cold war) world.
But make no mistake, Obama is even more of a fool than JFK ever was. Obama is even more to committed to even more of the same old failed policy. Obama’s real damaged is domestic and cultural, and that of course is the most significant kind of damage any nation or people ever ever could suffer.
Obama is stupider, but no less anti-American than JFK.
Democrats wrote a law to replace the American voter.
From unionizing government, to Vietnam, to the 1965 Immigration Act, JFK was the end of us.
“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960. In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”
