It’s an easy shot, but this reminds me of the preposterous comparison with John F Kennedy, made by some adoring democrats.

JFK, of course, said: “Let every nation know, whether they wish us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of freedom”.

Can you imagine the President saying anything as downright *embarrassing* as that?
