I've been thinking, this is one of the stupidest thing I've read in this section. You really haven't the faintest clue what you are talking about.

JFK's approval rating as measured by George Gallop was in a bit of a plunge going into his death. From 80 in the Spring of 1962 to 56 a month before he died.

Historians don't regard his Presidency with much enthusiasm either. Other than props for his handling of the Missile Crisis and development of the Space Program he IS blamed for the following, Bay Of Pigs, the CIA's assassination of Diem, the expansion of American involvement in Vietnam, failure to get even close to passage of Civil Rights legislation and in 1962 after he warned U.S. Steel to not raise prices the Dow broke 20% in weeks. In fact the 1962 correction was the markets biggest retracement since the late 1930's.

Ironically it was anxiety over his 1964 political viability in Texas that brought him to Dallas in November of 1963......

W and Condi did such a fantastic job with those memo just months or so before 9/11.

And the 3 trillion Iraq War was an amazing investment and genius use of resources. Next time we're attacked, let's invade Poland and The Czech Republic. They're allies? So?

Its my opinion, and this IS my opinion that the cold war an the cuban missile crisis represented the single biggest threat we have ever faced ( that we know of). Once again that is an opinion. I think you could honestly say that, by NOT invading cuba and going the diplomatic route, Kennedy may have indeed saved the world, while still opposing communism and not letting it spread throughout europe. There have been a few great presidents, and you could argue all day who was the greatest, but I believe that kennedy deserves to by high on that list and I think history, especially regarding vietnam, would look upon him with even me favor had he not been killed.

Quote from Mercor:

First WTC bombing 2/93. One month into the new Clinton administration

Second WTC bombing 9/01 Eight months into new Bush administration

Obama will be the most inexperienced and weakest President since JKF.

Look at the mess JFK got in ,
*Bay of Pigs,
*Berlin Wall,
*Trading Cuba eternal peace for missiles. (Gee, you think Iran / N Korea learned something from this)

This will be a very rough year as every crackpot will pursue their agenda, testing the resolve of a wimpy green president.

How many months before we lose a major world city?

Do you think this is a joke! What a retarded posting !

The same odds as the old, cancerous man would get dementia in his 2nd year and some yahoo, white trash, bible thumping alaskan bimbo would run the nation.

This is a hypothetical based on factual history.

Both Clinton and Bush were hit in their first year of their presidency.
Al Quida is seeking more hits. Any change in Government is a weakness a good enemy will exploit.

Many positions will have new people in charge and other positions will take months to settle people in.

Notice each hit has only happened during a party change in the Whitehouse. Like any community the new government needs time to establish its culture. In the meantime this causes a greater vulnerability.

So this is not about personalities or specific candidates, but about the likelihood of another attack under the same conditions 2 previous attacks were launched.

There's Obama's raw intelligence and intellectual heft, and Biden's deep foreign policy experience, and then there's this, which you apparently favor:... Just....so...painful.

Has anybody noticed that the spelling of "Obama-Biden" is so close to that of "O~~ama Bi[n La]den"? Is it a sign that the Dem's duo is[n't] favored by stars for this fight? It's like pro vs. con showing the connection progress vs. congress ...~~
