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.
Well...remember Vienna. It kind of went the other way.
The comparison is not that far out. Kennedy was pretty much a put-up job, and won only by dint of corruption in multiple high places. His persona was media-driven, much like Obama's is. While it is true that his politics were different from Obama's, still his anti-business views were famous. The "legacy" of JFK which passes for history around here is mostly urban legend perpetrated by Jackie O and the Kennedy clan after the fact, in league with a compliant press. .
Kennedy was in Texas in 11/63 to mend fences, because his re-election was in trouble.
