Obama stated that Democrats are strong on National Defense because they are the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy.
Um, Obama, while I disagree with a lot of what both did, they weren't Barack Obama. Last I checked, Roosevelt and Kennedy aren't running for president, Obama, you are. What your party did way back when is not the basis of a foreign policy argument, nor is it a reason for me to vote for you!

A very relevant comment if I may say so. Also, in my opinion, (for what it's worth) as presidential materiel, Obama is not even in the same league as either Roosevelt or Kennedy

Just out of curiosity, how do you figure the comment was relevant? Obama may be a democrat, but the Democrat party is a lot different now than it was in either FDR or JFKs day.

I was referring to the comparison of Obama to either of those men rather to the party itself.

This is also the party of clinton, the man who DECIMATED this nations military. And now suddenly their the strong national defense party?? this is also the party of Jimmy Carter, the man who isw almost singly responsable for the effecting of the iran we know today, one of our greatest international threats and the man almost singly responsable for unleashing the spectre of islamic terrorism on the U.S. and this is the strong national defense party?
