“When Kennedy Met With Khrushchev, We Were On The Brink Of Nuclear War.”

That’s Barack Obama from today’s incredible press conference where the Illinois senator combined petulance and ignorance in an unnerving display of just how unqualified he is to be Commander-in-Chief

For the record, Kennedy and Khrushchev met in Vienna in June of 1961. We were not on the brink of nuclear war. The Cuban Missile Crisis was 15 months in the future.
