Both of the situations Kennedy is most known for, the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis, were situations he was put in by Eisenhower executive actions.

If so, why did Kruschev not take these actions while Eisenhower was president? And in fact, until Kennedy's weakness at Vienna? When everyone, INCLUDING Kennedy, knew he had blown it by coming across as weak. Precisely as our current president has done time and again.

Obama is far weaker than JFK ever was. Not only is the PERCEPTION he is weak, he truly is. The man has no meaningful life experience on which to draw. At least JFK had that.
