Dude.... you only mentioned neo-con warhawks... there are others you should mention.

Fair enough. I see these as the most obvious clowns.

I recall that Carter was annoying as a president partly because he was a micromanager and terrible as a politician. Since the time of his presidency he's been wonderful.

I like J.F. Kennedy very much, but he was a bit of a clown for openly pissing off the wrong people.

Obama's second term was lame, and he screwed up politically in the second half of his first term. So - partial clown.

Clinton's clowning around included the deregulation deals he made with the Repuglicans. Real stupid. Still one of the cleverest political animals to grace the executive branch.

That's an odd statement. He pissed off all the right people and if he and his brother weren't assassinated what is now AIPAC and ALL zionist lobby corps. would be registered as foreign agents.

He pissed off all the right people

But he did not do this openly, and should have done it in secret, strategically (as has happened for CIA, FBI and other agencies; think of the Iran/Contra scandal)

What? H e did it covertly. He worked his way up to power and before being elected acted extremely pro-Israel whilst his brother was trying to make AIPAC a foreign agent.

Yes, though he famously made mistakes of talking to the wrong people during the process.

Also John McCone

And Lyndon Johnson

There's a book I have where JFK mentions that Johnson was setting him up... as in he had to make him VICE just to become president just as he had to pander to the Zionists in his campaign before turning on them.

name of the book?

I think most people don't understand how Israel influenced US politics in the 50s and 60s. It was brutal. I also wonder why other members of the Kennedy family have not dared to speak of any of the problems with Johnson and Israel. Only recent publications are dealing with the latter, but hardly anyone understands Johnson's connections. Also, Israel was never going to allow JFK to interrupt their nuclear program, which was perhaps their most important ambition in the early '60s.
