Funny But Meaningless: George W. Bush Nudges Out Barack Obama in Popularity

SEE HERE This would be funny if it were not so vacuous. The fact that John Kennedy is the most popular modern president shows that the only thing this measures is something like name recognition. Kennedy did nothing worthy of recognition. He was a weak president who precipitated a nuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union. Luckily our position vis a vis the Soviet Union was strong at the time or we'd have nuclear tipped missiles in Cuba pointed down our throats. On the other hand if he's been an effective president we'd have cleaned out that vipers nest then and there. The missiles of October should have been the acquisition of the Cuban territory of the United States. That would have been a whole lot smarter and the Cuban people would be a whole lot freer. Democrats have been really good at giving away other people's freedom just like they are good at giving away other people's money.
