This event is a recorded telephone conversation involving US President J.F. Kennedy happened over 50 years ago over a wastage of US$ 5,000 by the military in respect of his Wife's delivery. This audio and video transcription shows how angry and disgusted the President was to read about the furniture issue on Washington Post. We can tell by the torrents of abusive words by the President in this audio such that he instantly ordered the military to return the purchased furniture immediately.

After hearing this audio file, I asked myself if a Nigerian President can exhibit such anger at a 'paltry' wastage of US$ 5,000 of public funds...Click the link to enjoy guys!

wikipedia: In the summer of 1963, a pregnant Jacqueline Kennedy was at the Kennedy family compound in Massachusetts. Air Force personnel became concerned that if Mrs. Kennedy were to deliver the child at the Otis Air Force Base hospital, that the maternity ward furniture would be inferior for the newborn of the President and First Lady.

The Air Force then spent $5,000.00 of taxpayer money at Jordan Marsh & Company to purchase new furniture, and allowed media photographs of an Air Force captain proudly standing next to the purchase.

After the photos made their way into the Washington Post, an irate President Kennedy telephoned McHugh and ordered him to have the furniture returned. Kennedy's curse-laden phone call with McHugh are now public.

Let's hope Nigeria will get there.
