What we are talking about is the American sphere of influence. We lost it to Russia as you well point out. The blame for this was put on JFK by the Cuban Americans and I think accepted by JFK himself.

The question was "how important is experience" which I think is well illustrated in the performance of JFK. The comparison was to Obama's experience, how important is experience? The enemies of the USA think inexperience is important. They are waiting for Obama to take office. Why should they fight for their radical beliefs when,if they wait for an inexperienced Obama, he'll give them victory whitout fighting for it?

Vote for Hillary. Then vote for McCain. That's the paith.
