Don’t Get Mad, Mr. President. Get Even.
Frank, the president most often compared with Obama is JFK. He has the slim figure, the Ivy League advisers, the clipped delivery, even the glamorous first lady. He doesn't have the family fortune, it's true, but he also doesn't have the PT 109 experience that taught JFK to distrust senior officers. Can you imagine BHO giving the angry speech JFK gave when U.S. Steel raised its prices right after agreeing to a wage settlement with the union in 1962? BHO is very bright and promising but, in many ways, he is just a boy.
