Obama probably does excite voters the JFK did in his time, but I wonder how he will do against Romney or McCain. I doubt if they will come across as the next Richard Nixon. McCain especially, who seems to be a favorite of indepents too. He has the experience that Clinton is touting, and is not as polarizing.

I agree on McCain. With Romney it depends on which Romney shows up for the general election. I think that he plays right into the whole "candidates who will say anything to get elected" narrative that Obama has pinned on the Clintons.

what do obama and JFK have in common? will obama cut taxes on the rich as JFK did? will he get his brother, who made is bones as Joe McCarthys #2 punk to be AG? will he fund a covert operation then leave them hanging? will he have a father who was rum runner an early supporter of the nazi's?

why people pine for those drunken irish hicks, i'll never know.

i'm a republican and obama is a saint compared to the kennedys. i'd vote for obama before any of those two bit, drunken, trust funders. their sainthood by the left is nauseating.

OK, even if I think this is a little over-the-top, let's grant that JFK was pretty obviously flawed--that means Obama has all of the charisma of JFK, without the associating scandals--unless you count an e-mail circulating that says he's a hiden secret muslim terrerist Al Qaida saddam hussein DEVIL worshiper. I, for one, don't put much credence in such assertions.

obama has more class than every drunken, women killing kennedy you can muster combined. he is a damn fine candidate for you guys. every politician has flaws as they are human.

he's a sorry panderer but all of them are. i will probably end up voting for either the mittster or that freakin mccain. neither is my first choice. but i could not vote for a democrat as they have a habit of always whining about the same problems they are causing.

LBJ refered to the Kennedy brothers as Murder, Inc.

I wonder how he will do against Romney or McCain.

I don't care for either of them, but they'll eat his lunch.

Romney made his money, buying companies, stealing pension funds, cutting health care benefits, and tossing people out onto the street, once the company's started to show improvement he would sell them.

Just because he can rape an organization doesnt mean he can lead a country.

This whole Kennedy-Obama thing has me confused, especiallyafter the recent tar and feathering Clinton received for "insulting" MLK by suggesting that LBJ might have had anything to do with getting Civil Rights Legislation passed.

Neither JFK nor RFK were friends of the Afro-American. That was just not acceptable in Boston political circles at the time. LBJ attempted to lead JFK to the water, but he could not get him to drink, and it was only after he became President that he was able to move the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Now Obama supporters want us to accept him as the reincarnation of JFK.

What would MLK think?

I agree, the JFK legend never stood up to the facts. The handsome, charimastic, Inspiring well spoken leader was a sleaze in many ways.

Ironicly His main political opponent, was ugly, lame, socially akward, not well spoken, whose substantial political, social, environmental achiements for the entire country has mainly been attributed in some fashion back to the Kennedy ledgend and/or the democrats. I don't want to say todays republicans would have anything to do with Nixon, or Eisenhower either, they both would be branded socialists.

But nobody in politics had clean hands. Nice guys got nowhere.
