of NY State and NYC Police Commissioner. Obama comes NOWHERE near that variety of experience or executive experience.

JFK, actually, should not have become president. He was not honest about his health, his personal recklessness and he really wasn't ready to deal with world leaders. Harold MacMillan and Nikita Khrushchev both thought he was a bobby-soxer and that is what emboldened Khrushchev to place the missiles in Cuba.
