Obama Rejects Afghanistan-Vietnam Comparison

clipped by: drummond1999
clippers remarks: Obama does not believe that comparisons between Afghanistan and Vietnam are accurate, for his sake, I hope he is right. Meanwhile the recent move to increase tariffs of Chinese tire imports may lead to tit-for-tat from either side. Though finally Obama believes that there is no need for any further economic stimulus packages, the worst is over.

Asked whether he worried about repeating the fate of President Lyndon B. Johnson, who declined to seek re-election in 1968 as a result of the turmoil over Vietnam, Mr. Obama replied: ?You have to learn lessons from history. On the other hand, each historical moment is different. You never step into the same river twice. And so Afghanistan is not Vietnam.?


But, he added, ?The dangers of overreach and not having clear goals and not having strong support from the American people, those are all issues that I think about all the time.?


Mr. Obama also signaled that he thought the need for a new economic stimulus package may have abated.


?I have a strong inclination not to do? a second stimulus package, he said. ?I think that most folks believe that we?ve now turned the corner where we might actually start seeing some positive economic growth in months to come. As you know, jobs tend to be a lagging indicator; they come last.?
