The sixties were amazing times. We had the Cold War and the resultant space race. Kennedy announced we should go to the Moon in 1961, and a little over eight years later, we did it. Eight years from the first suborbital space flight to landing on the Moon and returning. We had an attitude of being able to accomplish amazing things, and expectations of an amazing future. Now we have a president with no cold war to deal with, who talks BS all the time and generally avoids responsibility for all the stuff going wrong around him by saying he didn’t know anything about it, that he learned about it in the papers. All the time, he’s touted as being brilliant. Remove his teleprompter and we’re lucky to get a coherent string of sentences out of him.

When Kennedy was president, presidents had to be serious because of the Soviets. Now our president is serious about putting crap over on us for his own political fortune. He cares more about his legacy than the country. In fifty years, we went from being able to go to the Moon in eight years of effort, to spending three years on a website and messing that up. Amazing future, indeed. This might be why the libs think we should STFU about Kennedy. It draws attention to the contrast. People might look back and go WTF has happened? What kind of president have we elected? Was he really the best available?
