FOREIGN POLICY
No, President Obama’s Not Channeling John F. Kennedy On Iran:
If President Obama is going to exhume John F. Kennedy to use him as a spokesman, the least he can do is to be accurate in describing Kennedy’s foreign-policy record.
President Obama’s initial public pitch in favor of his deal with Iran mentioned only one of his predecessors by name—John F. Kennedy.
Describing the Iran deal as “in line with a tradition of American leadership,” Obama said, “It’s now more than 50 years since President Kennedy stood before the American people and said, ‘Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.’ He was speaking then about the need for discussions between the United States and the Soviet Union, which led to efforts to restrict the spread of nuclear weapons.”

Kennedy backed down the Russians; Obama caved into the Iranians.
Big difference.

Capt Seid Waddell, not only that, he did it knowing there would be no mention of release of the Americans held prisoner by the Iranians. Then he gets pissed when he's asked why. Go figure.

You also foret to mention he did this knowing he wont have to enforce any of this and it falls on the next president. IF that president cant enforce it Obama will say Hey. I made a good deal... you just didnt enforce it, knowing full well no one could enforce such a bad deal

SGT (Join to see), PO2 Mark Saffell, we also need to remember that he tilts toward the terrorist states and against Israel in all of his dealings in the ME.

Quoting the late Senator Lloyd Benson, Vice Presidential candidate, directed at then Senator Dan Quayle:
"Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."
Somewhere out there, Dan Quayle would be smiling at the irony.
I guess that Libya DOES have a lot in common with the Bay of Pigs...

1SG (Join to see), It's hard to compare ones self to greatness when they have done nothing great.

This human waste of oxygen has to channel someone else in everything he says or does. Nothing about him is his own. Everything that goes wrong on his watch doesn't belong to him either.
