Barack Obama’s controversial comments to the Latino community on Univision radio urging them towards a policy of “we’re gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us” certainly ranked among the less savvy political remarks in the run-up to the 2010 mid-term elections.

Yeah, Wilson is still paying for that “If you adopt my League Of Nations idea, gentlemen, I predict that some day, a Marxist Kenyan will occupy the White House” gaffe.
Our first commie POTUS.
Woodrow Wilson was a vicious, nasty, racist, World Government soft-Socialist. He deserves a reputation at or near the bottom of presidents in all these presidential rankings. He is the first president to bring segregation to the federal government in the face of Republican opposition. His economic policies were a disaster. All around bad guy at both a personal and policy level.
Of course he was a racist. He was a democrat; party of slavery, secession, the KKK, Jim Crow.
FUBO & FAD
Progressives of a feather.
