Honestly, What Does Obama Have in Common with JFK? By Rizzuto Thu Feb 07, 2008 - I think this question deserves an honest look, seeing as it's very chic to compare the two. On the surface, I guess the two of them might share a certain amount of charisma but that's about as far as it goes. On foreign policy and fiscal policy the two of them couldn't be further apart. Doug Patton at Hernando Today makes the argument: JFK supported tax cuts, knowing they would spur economic growth. BHO thinks he can somehow tax us into prosperity. JFK was a foreign policy hawk who stood up to the Soviet Union and let it be known that the United States of America was a superpower to be reckoned with. BHO is a foreign policy wimp whose proclivity toward appeasement in a very dangerous world would signal weakness to our enemies and invite them to attack us. JFK told us to ask what we could do for our country. BHO tells us to expect that our country will do everything for us. JFK was a genuine hero who very nearly died in World War II. The closest BHO has ever gotten to a war zone was when he was working as a “community organizer” on the mean streets of Chicago. "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe..." is a far cry from Obama's calls for immediate withdrawl.
