A momentous year, 1968. As well as the events you mention, check out:
“Prague Spring”
Paris riots that almost toppled the gov’t.
TET Offensive in Vietnam, where the US media said we lost but reality was in fact different.
Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia to crush the “Prague Spring”
.. and so on. Point being that we still must have a President who can tackle huge international issues as they arise.
You can make your choice on that of course but mine puts Obama not at the bottom of any list but not even on it.
It is looking like Pa has a say in the race,who would you vote for?
