There's the door....

I'm shocked a lib like you doesn't get all teary eyed when JFK is mentioned. According to the Dems, JFK IS politics. Along with the rest of the family.

As for vintage history, does this mean no more mentions by you of anything Bush related?

JFK steered the country, and humanity, through the single most dangerous week in the history of the planet. Bush invaded the wrong country, for the wrong reason, and let the economy go into the crapper.

Pardon me if I think you are comparing apples to a pile of s**t.

Bush "let the economy go into the crapper?" This will be a fascinating explanation. Presumably, you think Obama has left it there?

Bush was on the right track as long as he listened to his staff, but once he decided he was the policy guy, ship ran aground. Having no congress to offset his silliness killed him. Same problem is hampering Obama today, except he is personally an economics buffoon and has surrounding himself with some harcore lefty econ team to exacerbate the problem.

I would still go with Jack.

The previous three led the country through difficult times, but none of them had the potential impact as the Cuban Missile Crisis.

:good!:

Lest we not forget JFK's great invasion of Cuba. How did that go again? We can't just paint him as some sort of saint who had no failures here.

It is hard to argue against, probably the last true leader the democrat party will ever give this country.

For the sake of argument, I think you are not giving them enough credit.

No.

He was a man after all, and each person has had their mistakes.

But, easily one of the best, and my personal favorite.

And I'm not using blinders -- Reagan wasn't as bad as the left makes him out to be.

if JFK had survived i very much doubt he would have gone down as a great president. outside of the employer tax cuts he was obama light (in the pocket of the unions, trying to push through universal healthcare, welfare increases).

Regardless, the man led us through the Cuban Missile crisis.

FDR gets a huge pass for all the madness he created because of his leadership during WWII.

You would be hard pressed to find a democrat who was at the point of death that felt he had to return to office for the good of the country/people.
