“Obviously this is a fuckup” is an under appreciated JFK quote.

[u/LarryGlue]

I can't tell if he was mad that they spent so much money, or the fact that it got out to the press.

Can you imagine being the guy in the photo, and getting individually called out by the fucking President?

That's a bad day.

Here is the picture that pisst him off. http://a.abcnews.com/images/Politics/ht_john_f_kennedy_11_hospital_room_jaqueline_kennedy_lpl_120921_wmain.jpg

It looks kinda modest to me.

You know heads rolled.

“This is obviously a Fuck up” 😂

Legendary.

McHugh: "Why sir, this is obviously..."

JFK: "Well, this is obviously a fuck-up!"

[u/BurgundyFord]

Two questions: (1) Why was this call recorded? (2) Does anyone have a link to the news report they are talking about or just the picture?

"So, anyway that's how I ended up towing aerial targets in Thule, Greenland for 15 years."
