Did anyone else catch this in the SOTU speech

at 1:13:47 minutes into the speech the president said this "If John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan could negotiate with the Soviet Union, then surely a strong and confident America can negotiate with less powerful adversaries today."

The camera went to McCain. Look at the expression on his face. I'm not sure if he looked stunned like he never thought of that before or he was pissed. It was great none the less.

Like the President was silly to even consider negotiation. Know-it-all McCain, along with his rich warmongering pals, prefer the battlefield.

It was the phrase McCain used during a debate in '08. Weird word, perhaps ''Intervention'' is a code for removal from office by assassination.



These three DUers noticed:

Hootinholler:

Anyone else notice McCane referred to the Kennedy assasination as an intervention?


chimpsrsmarter

From the debate-McCain" before the intervention of the tragedy at Dallas."


stubtoe

The "intervention" at Dallas?

President Kennedy was not killed by an intervention.
It appears he was killed by an act of the state --
or people in authority --
acting together.
And that is what is so hard for people to believe.
Perhaps less so today.
Thanks to Snowden.
