That’s Barack Obama from today’s incredible press conference where the Illinois senator combined petulance and ignorance in an unnerving display of just how unqualified he is to be Commander-in-Chief

For the record, Kennedy and Khrushchev met in Vienna in June of 1961.  We were not on the brink of nuclear war.  The Cuban Missile Crisis was 15 months in the future. 

Obama really needs a history lesson or he needs to learn to tell the true.

Since I doubt the truth is in him, I suggest he picks up a history book.

Obama’s lost his bearings again.  It’s a shame. He’s so young.

And no one in the MSM calls him on it either. Do you suppose they are that stupid or that they are drinking the kool-aid? Both maybe both.

No Susan I tend to see it more the work of the closet socialist wing of the Dem party which BHO represents as their candidate but nobody wants to say ‘the ideology that shall not be named’.

I believe there are some dyed in the wool pure socialist types in the media that have him in their full support zone.

Add to that all the elite socialists and you see where this is going.

If BHO were not Black he would never have gotten this far just on the policies which would have been exposed much earlier.

It is the lockstep support of the Black voter block that the Elites have counted on an triangulated with to undermine Hill by denying her the traditional Black support of the Clinton camp and try to take over the Dem party as their own.

Thus we get statements from people like MoveOn and Kos that they have bought the party they own it and they are the new Dem party.

I like that Nano. “The ideology that shall not be named.”

Perfect fit for Obama and the dems and their lunatic fringes in general.

Is American History part of the core curriculum at Columbia and Princeton (referring to the Obamas undergrad schools)?  Probably not and hasn’t been for some time.

Of course, for some of us, the Cuban missile crisis was a current event at some point in our lives.

It will all become clear in the fullness of time.

I hate to admit that I am old enough to remember. I was 11 years old. I lived in Florida and yes I remember. Cuba seems very close to Florida in those days. Not necessarily in terms of being 90 miles from Key West.

The wackos on the left have no problem with communism/marxism. How far they have strayed from JFK who absolutely hated it.

We should cut Barry some slack-after all, when JFK and Nikita met in June of 1961, he hadn’t even been born yet.

My Dad was Executive officer (for you Leftists, that’s second in command) on a ship that almost got sent to blockade Cuba in the fall of 1962. We were on pins and needles for a whole week.

Dad’s CO on that ship later went on to fire a torpedo into the USS John F. Kerry in 2004 as a member of the Swift Boat Veterans.

It takes a real n00b to forget that a Presidential summit indicated a sharp drop in tensions.  Both the USA and USSR had preconditions, among them being Air Force One would not be shot down on the way over.

Yes ...

“The Cuban Missile Crisis” was pretty scary.  My father kept a daily scrapbook during the entire affair - and still has it.  In the final analysis however, there was no way that The Soviets were going to risk their country for a minor thug running a backwater Commie state.

It didn’t take much longer for the Politburo to recognize what an off-the-wall head case Kruschev was after that.
