Remembering JFK

  History Of Today
 
In 1960 the nation was giddy over the young, good looking, well-spoken, enchanting Massachusetts senator and his attractive and poised, pleasant wife. JFK spoke of a new hope and a new age that he would bring to America.
JFK was elected president in a very close election.
JFK accomplished the following:
1.)  Lowered taxes, thus successfully stimulating the US economy. Tragically he forgot teach his relatives how this works;
2.)  Thrust the US into war against Vietnam and its allies including communist China;
3.)  Selected the popular banner of civil rights -- which was progressing rationally -- and used it to promote himself and his brother;
4.)  Ordered a disastrous invasion of Cuba wherein amidst failure he refused to reinforce American soldiers leaving those already landed on the beach to be killed and captured;
5.)  Was assassinated while in office, thereby throwing the nation into its overly-emotionalized, contentious future from which there is even today no clear resolution. Assassination also guaranteed JFK perpetual aggrandizement.
Today Americans again fail to see how successful America is even under recent weak, ineffectual leadership.
Today Americans are being wooed by a sweet-talking, inexperienced, arrogant pres-elect 44 named Obama.
Now that Americans have elected this version of JFK, the result will be economic decline, socialist advances, and weakened defense.
One of the notable differences between JFK and Obama is that Obama's wife is not poised nor pleasant.
Obama and his elitist, over-educated cabinet will make mistakes similar to the made by JFK and his elitist cabinet. Will the USA have the staying power to survive another JFK?
