English translation in first comment.
Aber der Demokrat Barack Obama dürfte Ihren Geschmack treffen. Immerhin wird er als der neue Kennedy gefeiert. Ist er es denn wirklich?
Kennedy:
Barack Obama ist alles - und er ist auch okay, weil er halt Demokrat ist wie ich. Aber er ist kein Kennedy - für mich jedenfalls nicht.
Und wenn Sie das sagen ...
Kennedy:
... nun ja, wir sind die Kennedys - er nicht. Obama hat seinen eigenen Stil und Background. Er ist sicher ein beeindruckender Mann, der andere durch seine Persönlichkeit und Reden mitreißen kann, so wie mein Onkel die Menschen motivierte und inspirierte. Okay, sie sind beide jung. Kennedy war 43, als er Präsident wurde. Es gibt also offensichtlich Parallelen, aber das macht Obama noch lange nicht zu einem Kennedy. Er ist einfach nicht wie wir.

Which is significant because a Kennedy must be well aware of the high regard many Germans have for JFK ("Ich bin ein Berliner").
Here is the English translation:
Welt: But Democrat Barack Obama should be to your liking. Considering that he is being hailed as the new Kennedy. But is he really?
Kennedy: Barack Obama is everything - and he is ok, since he is a fellow Democrat like me. But he is not a Kennedy, at least not for me.
Welt: You are the authority on that...
Kennedy: Well yes, we are the Kennedys - he is not. Obama has his own style and background. He is certainly an impressive man who can engage others with his personality and speeches, just like my uncle could motivate people and inspire them. Okay, they both are young. Kennedy was 43 when he became President. There are obvious other parallels, but that is by far not enough to make obama a Kennedy. He is simply not like us.
That has to hurt.
Betcha the MSM ain't gonna pick up on THAT comment.
Always remember that to the Kennedys this kid is a Shriver and only good for what he can be used for.
And he’s not an American either as far as I am concerned. And I’m not a birther.
“But honey, he’s not our kind.”
...Baby I’m only Society’s Child.

What struck me is the tone (esp. in the German—it’d be interesting to have verbatim what he said in English—we only get this through a German reporter’s translation of his words into German) of “We ARE the KENNEDYs”
That there is such a thing as “The Kennedys” is itself a creation of Mobster Joe and the press fawning over JFK and RFK.
The original Kennedys were POS grasping, social-climber white trash gang of hoodlums. Joe made piles of money by fraud and rum-running. His money bought him power and the social respectability was totally manufactured.
In fairness, the same could be said for all the nouveaux riche American families of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
But because they entered directly into elective politics whereas the Mellons and the Rockefellers and the Carnegies influenced politics indirectly or from cabinet positions (and ultimately turfed out when Mellon took the blame for the Depression, wholly undeserved), the Kennedys’ arrogance was on display in ways that the others’ was not.
Either way, it’s sheer naked arrogance what this little poseur is spouting.
“Barack Obama is everything, but not a Kennedy” [So said JFK’s nephew.]”
Maybe he has the birth certificate.
they just can't be themselves, there embarrassed to be themselves.
(if I was one of them ,I wd be to)
I hate saying anything positive about the Obamaloon, but the fact that he is not a Kennedy is one of the few positives that I can see.
A Kennedy is someone who has never ever done anything in their life to earn a buck. They have never created anything. They base their existence on a subterranean worm of a master Kennedy who never had an honest or moral thought in his life.
Without the money created by the master crook Kennedy, all would be digging ditches between liquor binges and group grope rapes.
And that’s the good part about the Kennedies.
And the saddest part is that there is nothing in my rant that is untrue.
O’BAMA.
OK... NOW HE’S KIN TO THE KENNEDY CLAN... BUT ONLY THE KENNEDY CLAN NOT THE REST OF US IRISH!
Agreed. I never understood the Kennedy worship. On the day of JFK’s funeral I decided I wanted to look at new cars. I went to a local dealership, the place was open but vacant. I finally found everyone huddled around a TV watching the funeral procession. The car salesmen refused to leave the TV to show me car. Can you believe a car salesman would act like that? Historic events before selling cars!
