Barrack Obama has been compared to JFK for his youthfulness, soaring rhetoric and vision. However, I think a more apt comparison would be Jimmy Carter.
By suggesting that he would strike targets in Pakistan with or without the consent of Pervez Musharraf, he threatened to undermine a friendly regime in an unfriendly country. This smacks of Jimmy
Carter’s alienation of the Shah in the late 70’s. Does anybody think Iran is better off now?
Barrack Obama also suggests talking to our nation’s enemies including North Korea and Iran. Just recently, Jimmy Carter had the nerve to sit down and talk with the leaders of Hamas.
In so doing, he lent credence to a terrorist organization elected by the Palestinian people with indirect ties to Iran’s ruling elite. Jimmy Carter was arguably one of the worst presidents of the 20th century.
While all of us would like to see another JFK, I don’t think any of us can risk another Jimmy Carter.
