Talkback
Title:Reality check on US President - the democrats
Name:Mark Lincoln
City: HoustonState: Texas
Let us consider how `bad` democrat presidents have been for Israel:

Harry Truman; overruled his secretary of state and recognized Israel 11 minutes after it`s declaration of independence.

John F. Kennedy; was the first president to state "The United States has a special relationship with Israel in the Middle East really comparable only to what it has with Britain over a wide range of world affairs."

Lyndon B. Johnson; overlooked the attack on the USS Liberty, delayed pushing for a cease fire until Israel`s wildest dreams of victory had been accomplished. Acquiesced to the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and the Sinai.

Jimmy Carter; Has peace with Egypt been so bad?

Willie Clinton; did nothing.
