... back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand--the ultimatum. And what then? When NikitaKhrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from...
Overall, President Obama surely suffered his worst setbacks in Beijing, on trade and economics, on climate change, and on security issues. CNN analyst David Gergen, no conservative himself, compared Mr. Obama's China meetings to Kennedy's disastrous 1961 encounter with Soviet leader NikitaKhrushchev in Vienna, a clear indicator of how poorly the Obama visit was seen at home. The perception...
This is humiliating: Obama in China: A wake-up call! By David Gergen, AC360 Barack Obama has recently been reading up on the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Coming home from China, he might well focus on Kennedy’s first summit overseas with the leader of the Soviet Union, NikitaKhrushchev. Indeed, we all could learn from that episode. According to Kennedy biographer Richard Reeves,...
Barack Obama has recently been reading up on the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Coming home from China, he might well focus on Kennedy’s first summit overseas with the leader of the Soviet Union, NikitaKhrushchev. Indeed, we all could learn from that episode. Like Obama, Kennedy came into office as an inspiring figure, an idealist who stirred hopes for the future and yet was inexperienced...
... and Grandpa to the dust-bin of the grave, the one thing that keeps coming to mind are the words of NikitaKhrushchev as he pounded the table with his shoe: "We will bury you from within!" Good job, Nikita, radical Islam, William, and Saul (Saul Alinsky). Of course, I cannot leave out the credit that goes to any "far left" professors that the Obama administration...

“The main difference for the history of the world if I had been shot rather than Kennedy is that Onassis probably wouldn’t have married Mrs Khrushchev.” – NikitaKhrushchev Posted in Photographs Tagged: history of the world, kennedy, khrushchev, married, motorcycle, onassis
Last weekend, I visited Prague. Among many other things, I visited the site of the Stalin Monument. The construction of the Monument was started in 1949 and finished in 1955. Sadly (for the communists), Stalin died in 1953, and in 1956 NikitaKhrushchev denounced the Stalin cult . This made the Stalin Monument fairly unsuitable, and it was torn down in 1962. In 1991, a metronome was raised...
... some appropriate commentary from Paul Rahe . In his speech he made no mention of Josef Stalin, NikitaKhrushchev, Mikhail Gorbachev, or the Soviet Union, and he was tellingly silent about Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan. The only American he quoted was John Kennedy, the President who acquiesced in and privately favored the building of the wall. Even more to the point, Obama proved...

... cannot be overstated. The second Berlin Crisis took place in August, 1961 when Soviet leader NikitaKhrushchev and his Easter German counterpart Erick Honecker took up a suggestion publicly floated by Senator J. William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (and privately supported by John F. Kennedy) and built the Berlin Wall. This, too, was a breach of the...
... Obama’s Teleprompter somehow forgot to mention Communism, the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, NikitaKhrushchev, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walesa or Pope John Paul. In Obama’s telling, the Wall just got built by itself, and was mysteriously torn down one day for no apparent reason. Source: HotAir.com Related posts: A tale of two presidents: Reagan inspired...
