Ike started the seeds for the international left, albeit, innocently. Ike wasn't anti American, but those he nurtured were.
Ike trusted that those he helped, all of Europe and Africa, would be allies.
Ha, welfare wards for 70 years who h**ed the fact that America won the war.
The international left now targets the two sovereign nations that stand in the way of their borderless one government world with Islam as the policing force. Russia and America are the obstacles.

Well, if that's the case, then there would be no well qualified candidates, but we will see.

So, politics again take precedent over the lives of our armed forces. what else is new. Big money and old men start wars and young men die for them.
Yeah, and Nixon took his good time too. Why? Politics always takes precedence over lives in times of war, until it doesn't. I think the American involvement in the Viet Nam war ended when the lives of Americans finally took precedence over wh**ever political issues (fighting the supposed spread of International C*******m) urged continuing. I think saying "big money and old men start wars" may be a little simplistic. And in modern wars probably more women and children die, than young men (the primary death dealers).

Any Democratic candidate who can beat President Trump would be well qualified in my considered opinion.

The war was just about won, but the American people’s action opposing our involvement, and Walter Kronkite, I think he was the newsman, had an article that said it wasn’t going well.

Quit too soon. The TET offensive was actually, from all I have read, was an American victory. The north was about to quit but held on because of the people of America.

Ha. The war in Viet Nam was just about won just like the war in Afghanistan is just about won. America did win the war in Viet Nam. It was a win, when we stopped fighting there. It was a win, when we started investing there.

JFK wanted to get out of Viet Nam, he also wanted to do away with the fed, he also made enemies in the oil industry, he was k**led before he could accomplish his goals and probably because of his goals.
"JFK wanted to get out of Viet Nam", yeah, and so did Johnson, but the political consequences of a Democrat surrendering to the C****es, allowed neither Kennedy nor Johnson that path. I haven't heard anything about him wanting to do away with the Fed. Why? So oily Texans were behind Kennedy's assassination? I wouldn't be surprised (Johnson was not an oilman).

That's just a bunch of evolutionary nonsense. God planted the first Neanderthal in the Neander River valley (I think).

I am talking real time, not dead or completely ineligible people. And your assessment is way off. Johnson tragically great in foreign? Obama, great at anything? Your best was Truman, a truly good president. He was one of the few who wouldn’t use the office as a stepping stone. —-Carter, a complete failure, Clinton, a disgrace to the Oval Office.
I guess my layout wasn't as clear as I thought. Johnson's "tragically great" was my overall assessment of his presidency. On foreign policy, I gave him a D instead of an F, because he didn't nuke Hanoi and he decided to not try to be reelected, but instead dev**ed his efforts to bringing the North Vietnamese into negotiations (foiled by Nixon's subversive conspiracy with the South Vietnamese).
Truman was a tough SOB. As an artillery captain in WWI, he kept his guns firing up to the last second, causing who knows how much needless suffering (and end to all suffering for how many?). One of the best things he did was fire the crazy narcissist MacArthur.
Carter is a great ex-president. I think his Fed Chair Volcker gets unwarranted credit for bringing the inflation of the 70's under control. I think it mainly ended because the effects of OPEC finally percolated through the world economy. I think Carter's restraint in the face of Iran's invasion of US territory was admirable. Who knows what would have happened if not for a sandstorm?
Clinton, hmm...the best thing about him was Robert Reich.
Obama, near great because he didn't flub the Great Recession recovery. The length of which may be due to the Republican's resistance to most of the stimulus he proposed. Also, near great, because I need to keep peace with my partner. Also he seems to be honored more outside his own land.

Well from this graph, it's obvious that ICE is failing. After an initial uptick in captures following their 2003 founding, their number of captures has steadily decreased (except for a slight increase in the first six years of Obama's administration). Sad.

Are these your own ratings? So what don't you like about JFK? I'd put him above all the others, especially in the foreign affairs category.
Yes, these are my own ratings and a little spur-of-the-moment at that.
What don't I like about JFK?
Bay of Pigs - F
Cuban Missile Crisis - A
Vietnam involvement - D (stuck Johnson with that mess)
Civil Rights Laws - C (got nothing done, but his death let Johnson do his thing)
Marginal Tax Rate Reduction - F (if 91% top rate was good enough for Ike, it's good enough for me)
Kennedy had charisma no doubt. TrumPutistas even seem to think he's great (I think they're just suckers for glamour). Republicans give him grudging respect because they like to tell everyone that he lowered the upper marginal tax rates. His philandering probably evokes some grudging envy-admiration in many men.
If Tricky Dick Nixon had had a better makeup artist, Kennedy would just be that loosing Democratic candidate in 1960, another Al Smith.
