Presidents' Day Poll

[scaeagles]

Perhaps we need an approach to the border similar to JFKs approach to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I have a great respect for JFK. That man had serious balls/guts/cajones -whatever you want to call it - to use that naval blockade.

I wonder, though, how that would be perceived today. Seriously. He was directly interfering with the relations of two nations. We didn't have the right to stop those missiles from being put in Cuba. I bring this up being a total proponent of of what he did.

The Bay of Pigs was one of the biggest intelligence failures ever.

I don't think JFK could be considered a democrat today. I'd vote for JFK in a heart beat because of his policies.

Carter....not a prayer. He is certainly the worst President of my lifetime, and among the worst ever. This is all my opinion, of course. His foreign policy sucked, his domestic policy sucked, and while I certainly respect the humanitarian work he has embarked upon after his Presidency, I think lately he has gone off the deep end, with (and admittedly I know very little about this) plagarism and outright lies in his book on the Middle East.
