Appalling lack of historical perspective:
1. Woodrow Wilson was reelected because of his promise to keep us out of WW1. His subsequent promise to treat the Germans fairly was a major factor in their acceptance of the Armistice, only to betray them at Versailles and set the stage for WW2.
2. FDR gave away Eastern Europe to Stalin at Malta, thus setting up 50 years of Cold War and communist enslavement in those countries.
3. Truman gave up North Korea to the communists.
4. LBJ escalated the war in Viet Nam and then prevented us from winning it.
5. Jimmy Carter did his best to disarm the US but was, fortunately, thrown out of office.
6. Bill Clinton reduced federal employment exclusively through cuts in military personnel..
7. Obama lost the peace in Iraq (no SOFA) and is handing Afghanistan back to Al Qaeda.
Did I miss anything?
Bingo
But not that wrongwinger will see the light.. he'll just keep with the unsubstantiated claims and lies
Woodrow Wilson was the first to position us as a global power to be reckoned with
FDR made us a superpower
Republicans were isolationists
Turns out reps were right to stay out of other peoples crap.
hind sight is a real muther fukker, ain't it
