In response to my post about Obama and JFK, blooger DojoRat sends note saying “the national security state is more powerful than any one President,” along with link to a piece likening Obama’s recent foreign policy moves to JFK’s in 1962-63.
“There is an emerging parallel between President John F. Kennedy and President Obama,” he writes. “The recent negotiations with the Russians over Syria make a good case that Obama has been waiting for his second term to make significant progress in American foreign policy.”
