Kennedy in his 2nd term in the senate..after two terms in the house...
a decorated war hero..pt 109...the author (?) of two books of semi importance..Why England Slept and Profiles in Courage....

NOBAMA..in his first term...spent 20 yrs in a cathedral of hate..organized mid night basketball...wrote two mediocre books of no importance...

Paarl of Rhodesia

BTW..I assisted in organizing the local youth rugby league here in Morris County NJ..that makes me qualified for the sec of Treasury..at the very least ;>)

Quoting...Their oratorical skills have been an obvious connection. "Kennedy's speeches in early 1960 and even earlier, like Obama's in early 2007 ... focused on several common themes: hope, a determination to succeed despite the odds, dissatisfaction with the status quo, and confidence in the judgment of the American people," Sorensen has written. "In sprinkling their remarks with allusions to history and poetry, neither talked down to the American people."

Yes, but when Kennedy spoke off his script, he still sounded intelligent.  Take Obamessiah's teleprompter away and he can babble and blather with the best of 'em!  Kennedy and Obamessiah had great speech writers.  So what?  I'm always amazed at how people and msm gush over their speeches, as if the candidates wrote the actual words themselves.  Not since Reagan...

Sorenson was partially right, however... Kennedy never talked down to the American people.

(Sorry I couldn't get the original quote in a different format.  None of the formatting features seem to work for me.  Could it be because I'm using Safari?) 

"Obama plans big speech in Germany, despite fact Germans can't vote in US election." (yet)

"Obama's back begins hurting, gets rocking chair."

"While on vacation, Obama sucked out to sea and his blow-up raft is cut in two by Disney Wonder cruise ship. Obama then swims to Jamaica, then Haiti before being rescued." 

"Obama initiates string of extramarital affairs with actresses, beginning with Scarlet Johannson."

"Obama invites mobsters to White House." 

"Obama's Kenyan brother overturns raft on river, female 'companion' drowns, but brother miraculously makes it to shore."

"Obama FedEx's Raul Castro exploding cigar."  

"Obama announces goal of landing man on the Sun by 2012." 

"Obama refuses all invitations to speak in Dallas." 

A better parallel would be made if Leni Riefenstahl was around to produce O'bama's stadium speech.

I'm really starting to believe this guy is unelectable. All this hype is media driven. I've been reading readers comments to articles such as this SFChron story. 90% of the comments are laughing at Obama. You would think the lefty readers of of a rag like the SFC would deluge the comment section with praise for Obama, but this is not the case. The same goes for the Newsweek article that was "puzzled" by Obama's tie in the polls with McCain. The comments there were also mostly anti Obama. I think the American voter has seen this guy for what he is: An uber-leftist empty suit.

Jack Kennedy and obabby wouldnt make a pimple on his butt. He should instead be compared to Teddy who as we all know is a modle of unparreled virtue.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

He might want to get himself a son and bring in some nephews to play touch football with on the lawn - that's always "Kennedy good". Maybe a sailboat?

We saw this coming. The only question is - JFK or RFK?

I find the adolescence infatuation to the candidacy of Barack Obama, by many of the American people, to be hilarious as well as ridiculous. To paraphrase Lloyd Bensen, “I remember John Kennedy and he is no John Kennedy”.

I am always amazed at how short the memory of the American people is.  I remember JFK well. As a member of the U.S. Navy then, I remember the “Bay Of Pigs” invasion of Cuba which JFK supported until it was actually under way. I remember how he pulled the American air support he had promised and the total debacle it became as a result. I remember the Cuban missile crisis in which JFK’s military response removed atomic missiles from Cuba and eventually removed Nikita Khrushchev from the world stage. I remember the beginning of the Viet Nam war, which started during the Kennedy administration and my deployment to South East Asia. John F. Kennedy was a military Hawk. Compare that to Obama’s position on Iraq and the deployment of the military.

I remember the beginning of the Kennedy administration when the situation was similar to our current state of affairs. JFK responded by reducing the marginal tax rates across the board; the top tax rate at the time was a ridicules 91%. The result of the tax cuts was the expansion of jobs, increased government revenue and an expanding economy. Compare that to Obama’s stated intent to let the Bush tax cuts expire resulting in the largest tax hike in history. He has proposed increasing the payroll tax to fund the Social Security system, and has also said he would be in favor of a return to a 25% Capital Gains tax, although he acknowledged it would produce less revenue for the government, but he thought it would be fairer.

 He is also in favor of a so called “Stimulus Package” to help a declining economy. An economy declining because of a monstrous debt brought on by the housing decline and the war in Iraq. If in fact the decline can be attributed to the deficit, how will a larger deficit help cure the problem, and in the words of the Democrats how do we pay for it?  There are only two ways to pay for this folly, borrow more money from the Chinese, in the form of Treasury bond sales, increasing the National Debt, or print more money, thus increasing the decline of the U.S. currency.

I remember JFK telling the American people; “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” Compare that to what Obama promises in the way of new programs and increased debt; asking not what you should do for yourself, but what your government can do for you? 

If you compare JFK’s administration to the current crop of candidates, he would be to the right of all of them including the top Republicans.

Barack Obama may be a lot of things but he is no John Kennedy.

Of course I have noticed all the imitations along the way with the msm so-called Kennedy mystique...

The leftists plan on stealing this election too...the same Kennedyesque way...come hell or high water.

Going to be interesting no matter what...after-all, we have such a dynamic conservative speaker running for our side of the aisle.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

If Obama does go to Berlin and says "I am a donut", then I will say he is JFK reincarnated.

Have you heard that JFK story? That the translation of what he said in Berlin is actually "I am a donut". I don't know if its true but its kinda funny.

Watch my favorite comedian tell that story...Its a riot:

JFK was a whoring drug freak who damn near got the entire world incinerated. He wasn't even popular until he was dead.
