The Bum's rush

A caller to an NPR program I was listening to yesterday that included Joyce Kearns Goodwin mentioned how Truman and Johnson were both was rushed into their wars by a confident military and how Eisenhower and Kennedy distrusted military solutions enough to avoid Armageddon.  I rather like Obama's cool approach.  Sure he took a chance with the military when hunting down Osama Bin Laden but otherwise he seems to know when they are blowing smoke up his ass.
