« Meet Charlie Tamayo | Babalu Blog - Main Page | Barack Guevara episode makes it into the MSM »

I recall the 1996 election. There's a rather pitiful woman who lives here in Jacksonville. She's poor in both material things and in spirit, so I'll avoid her name. She was a member of a local rag-tag group of people who saw other folks getting ahead through victimology, so, since all the members were poor white people, they called their group The National Association for the Advancement of White People. It was instantly portrayed by the media as a racist organization. The woman became a volunteer in the Pat Buchanan campaign. When it came out that the woman was a member of the NAAWP, Buchanan fired her immediately. Why haven't we seen the same from Barak?

Jeff Jacoby is one of the good guys. How the Globe continues to allow him to write for them is a mystery. The real story here is that the Gueveragate story FINALLY made it into the MSM.

It's good the story is getting traction, but I have yet to see it grow legs of any significance. I am sure, however, that if Obama wins the nomination this story will come back from the dead. At that point we'll see how much the MSM is willing to give it air time.

I do not know what JFK would do, frankly the guy was over rated to play chess with Russians and it showed at Bay of Pigs and the Missile Crisis. We know what Obama and Hillary will do and that is give credits and welfare to the Cuban commies, the question is what would Mac do?, maybe the video link below is the answer:

I agree with you, Doorgunner, that JFK was incredibly overrated. An objective assessment of the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Cuban Missle Crisis illustrates his unbelievably inept abilities to lead. But, he was photogenic and made plenty of speeches with catchy sound bites. In the end, that's all the liberals really need or want.

As far as what would Mac do about Cuba, we won't know for sure until he is in a position, if ever, to do something. But I have no reason to believe he'd take a soft stance. I'm sure he still has nightmares about the tortures he went through at the hands of castro agents.

Hillary and Obama, on the other hand, they'll bend in whichever direction the wind is blowing. They're just looking for the next catchy phrase they can say to appease their supporters.

Isn't it funny how a democratic republic that has become the most powerful nation in the world needs "change," yet neither Hillary nor Obama have ever (to my knowledge) mentioned "cambio" in relation to Cuba? What's next: are they going to start wearing white rubber bracelets with the word "change" on it?

Of course JFK was overrated. I think the point of the editorial is to use the Dems own beloved Icon against them. It's called Judo.

Technically, it's called jujitsuor or aikido. Kennedy's action to deny support to the 2506
Brigade and by extention the Cuban underground
was appalling. His refusal to acknowledge intelligence reports of Soviet military personnel,
(which would reach 100,000 troops)material and finally the IRBMs from the summer of 1961; on which lead to the game of 'nuclear chicken' in the
last month; was disgraceful. But he had the pretense to show concern about the issues involved; unlike Clinton & Obama.
