JFK is overrated because didn't have time to screw anything up. Plus he nailed Marilyn Monroe... And he got his head blown off on camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-cri43ttTo&feature=related"]YouTube - JFK Zapruder Film Closeup
i think its cool that jimmy carter never fired a bullet or a missile while president..so that is under rated..It seems Obama should have made a bit more head way..so that is over rated
Abe Lincoln. He succeeded in keeping the union together, but everyone thinks he was such a noble man that cared about all people and he wasn't. That's what bothers me.
JFK might have been overrated as a president, but I personally like him a lot. I think he had good principles. I think ol' Abe Lincoln is definitely our most overrated president. I think Jimmy Carter is our most underrated. Eisenhower did a lot of fucked up things concerning the Congo. He conspired for the assasination of their democratically elected president; he's one of the reasons the Congo is in such dire straits now.
Everybody does fucked up things. Eisenhower was a 5 star general before he was elected, and he helped win world war 2. i think that little congo thing could go unnoticed for all the great he did for the US, and the world.
Its not exactly a "little congo thing." More people have died in the various conflicts in Congo than died during WWII. That attitude is exactly what enables America to turn a blind eye while our leaders play puppet with African governments and allow the slaughter of millions of innocent people.
i'm aware. I stand corrected, I read that statistic a couple of months ago but now I can't find the reference; however, the Congo conflict is considered the deadliest war since WWII; 5.4 million people died in the conflict between 1998and 2008. However, if you consider the people that have died in the Congo since Eisenhower staged the coup in the 50s, I am certain the casualties approach WWII numbers, but I can't find any specific numbers. either way, its not something that can be brushed aside as "that little congo thing."
i just had to resist the urge to curse your ass out. you have a got a lot of learning to do. little congo thing? kjnbdergkljhndfgkljfghlurdthiofucccccckckkkkkkk! btw i was just at the airport welcoming a young congolese woman that espcaped the congo after being kept as retribution (read: raped and female genital mutilation) by her captors during the military coup that took place. this shit is real, it's happening right outside your front door! fuck!
