One man has captured the heart of the new America
It is hard to see who can stop Senator Barack Obama becoming the next President of the United States. He has built up an excitement such as no candidate has created since President Kennedy in 1960. He is, in my view, a better speaker than Kennedy. Like Kennedy, he combines personal magnetism with a strong appeal to American idealism.
Like Kennedy, he is young and speaks for the new generation of American politics. By ordinary political reckoning, 2008 ought to be the Democrats' year. In 2006 they captured both houses of Congress in mid-term elections.
There are, of course, hypothetical events that could change everything. There could be an attack on Mr Obama himself, but he is protected by the Secret Service. There could be an action by al-Qaeda, which would refocus American anxiety on the threat of terror.
But al-Qaeda is itself highly political. It would probably not be in its interest to secure the election of Senator John McCain. Al-Qaeda may be unpredictable, but it would be a mistake for it to interfere in American politics, even if it had the capacity to do so.
At the start of the primaries, when all eyes were on Iowa and New Hampshire, Senator Clinton was the frontrunner for the Democratic Party nomination. She had the organisation, she had the money, she had the name recognition, she had the professionalism; she even had Bill Clinton, even if he is something of an unguided missile.
But those days are now long ago. Senator Clinton has fallen behind Senator Obama in almost all of these factors, except for Bill Clinton's support.

Oh, spare me. Oba"Marxist" is no JFK...!
My sister called him a ‘second coming’ of Abraham Lincoln.
JFK -
Largest tax cuts in American history
Pro-gun (NRA Life Member)
Anticommunist and not afraid to use troops for America’s national interest
Anti-abortion (we can assume by being a ardent Roman Catholic)
Bona fide war hero - personally brave and deeply patriotic
Assassinated by a devout Marxist leftist named Lee Harvey Oswald
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
“To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required”
“Lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.”
“Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.”
—JFK would be shunned by the left today...
Not as bad as people in Illinois comparing him to Reagan.
There are idiots who actually say Reagan would support him or Hillary over McCain.
Obama’s supporters are starting to remind me of a cult.
I have yet to hear someone really give me a concrete reason to vote for him.
More like a second coming of Michael Dukakis. if you look at his record.
JFK would be spinning in his grave if he read this stuff.
Especially since JFK was a racist personally. He faked it for the black vote but he was a racist.
I think that is an insult.
TO DUKAKIS!
I’d vote for Dukakis a million times over over Obama.
5.56mm
ROTFLOL
If you ALL OUTSIDE Illinois think you’re barfing at this.
People in Illinois have been barfing for 4 years.
Funny thing is if he hadn’t gotten a reporter to go after Jack Ryan’s divorce records in 04 he might not even be in the Senate now.
They were thisclose in the polls before the divorce records.
JFK fought communists, he did not embrace them as Che’ Obama does, did, and will do, from Weather Underground connections to “Street Agitatin’” this Neo Communist is no Jack Kennedy.
I fear that America will be no more if this fake black African Ameerican is elected. But then again we rebounded quite nicely from the Peanut farmer.
Interesting. Kennedy was all charisma, and quite crooked, as history has shown.
Oh, sure, he’s another Kennedy with another Richard Daley as Chicago’s mayor in place to steal yet another election for him.
I knew Ronald Reagan and Ronad Reagan was a feeind of mine.
John F Kennedy, your no Ronald Reagan.
Funny thing is privately Daley supports Hillary.
I want if the President is a democrat for them to chose Blagoevich the Illinois governor as the VP just to get HIM OUT OF THIS STATE!
Tell me about it. I live in O’Fallon and can’t believe all of the hysteria over this jabroni. Kinda of OT but I got to see some Code Pink usefule idiots in real life a few weeks ago.
Memo to B. Hussein Obama:
I’m old enough to remember Jack Kennedy
Jack Kennedy was an inspiring man who had the seeds of greatness, but circumstances prevented it coming to fruition.
Jack Kennedy said things like, “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” He wouldn’t cut and run like you will.
Jack Kennedy said things like, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” He didn’t demand that the country provide everything to its citizens in cradle-to-grave socialistic entitlements.
Jack Kennedy knew how to stare down tyrants like Nikita Khruschev, not appease them
You, Senator, are no Jack Kennedy.
I recall the Bay of Pigs. He was slaughtered. He hired his brother to be his Att'y General. He had a gracious, fashionable young wife and two darling children. He slept around quite a bit. What else?
