Then, to support his point, he "quoted" President John F. Kennedy who "said" 'Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negatiate." ....

"Kennedy in his inauguaral address said: Let us never fear to negotiate, but let us never negotiate out of fear. A big difference."

Probably doesn't make a diff since he's a media star, but come on, get it right!

BTW: John Boulton quoted a former Reagan WH official (can't said who, dangit!) saying that negotiation is a technique NOT a policy.

BHO is a Carter-esque intellectual neophyte

Underestimate him at your peril. Still waters really do run deep in this case. He's easily the most dangerous democrat since Roosevelt. He really and truly is the Democrats Reagan. I mean that in terms of ability too. We may not agree with him but he could easily give the democrats power for the next 20 years.

You don’t have to be responsible for your own health care. You don’t have to be responsible for your own children... Ask not, what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you.

You are filled with hate and divisiveness... Obama has the change we can believe in.. Obama will fix all the problems in government he said so, Obama said We will be part of the solution so the sooner we all get onboard with that the better off the country will be...

Don’t you agree?

or Does It all sound a bit Cultish?

It will take a bigger blunder than that. I see the difference, but I don’t see where it will cause a problem.

Change = Lack of Responsibility for the Irresponsible = Reduced freedom for the rest

I’m not underestimating him. That’s why I led with “he’s a media star.”

It’s Oprah vs whoever comes out for McCain (Rush, Hannity, Ingraham, etc...?)

THAT’LL be a story.

He looks like a teenager and now talks like he is as smart as one.

Obama’s Inaugural Address:

“Ask not what you can do for your country. As what your country can do for you.”

You guys don't get it. Obama hasn't even begun to show his fangs yet. He's just playing with Hilary. The big O *does* have a brain, he just hasn't needed to use it yet. This guy is so good it's unbelievable. Mark my words, his nomination will be the worst thing to happen to the republican party since Herbet Hoover.

JFK -

Largest tax cuts in American history
Pro-gun (NRA Life Member)
Anticommunist and not afraid to use troops for America’s national interest
Anti-abortion (we can assume by being a ardent Roman Catholic)

Bona fide war hero - personally brave and deeply patriotic

Assassinated by a devout Marxist leftist named Lee Harvey Oswald

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

“To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required”

“Lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.”

“Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.”

—JFK would be shunned by the left today...

He’s only dangerous because the media will prop him up. He is nothing even similar to Reagan. FDR is the Democrat’s Reagan. A man of great substance. BHO is the Tony Robbins of the Democratic Party.

Obama's got that rhetoric up his sleeve already. Not the same kind mind you, but he'll have the RINOs eating out his hand and wagging their tails. Watch.
