“Mr. Obama, you’re no Jack Kennedy”

By rawhide | August 28, 2008

Barack Obama is attempting to portray himself as John F. Kennedy. Take a few examples just from the convention.

The last candidate to give his nomination speech in a stadium?

JFK at the Rose Bowl

John F. Kennedy. It doesn’t look like Kennedy delivered his address from the mountaintop.

The last candidate to make a surprise appearance at the convention before being nominated?

According to Wolf Blitzer or some other liberal at CNN Wednesday night, John F. Kennedy.

And look at this picture from Drudge.

Obama imitates JFK

Drudge ran the picture most of the day. It was bothering me, because I knew that I had seen it before. I finally put my finger on it.

JFK White House portrait

This picture of Kennedy hangs in the White House.

If it wouldn’t reinforce the age issue, I would love McCain to look at Obama and paraphrase Lloyd Benson: “Senator, I served in the military under President Kennedy. I knew John Kennedy. John Kennedy was my commander in chief. Senator, you’re no John Kennedy.”

    I shook the hand of John F. Kennedy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin back in 1960 when he was on the campain trail.
    Mr. Obama, you are not John F. Kennedy, and you never will even come close to being like him, so don’t even try to mimick him, You don’t have what i9t takes to be like him.

    Today Obama used one of Lincoln’s campaign lines where Abe Lincoln said to his opponent,

    “if you don’t stop lying about my record, I will have to start telling the truth about yours!”

    Obama then proceeded to lie about McCain but that’s beside the point.

    McCain’s response should be: “I knew Abe Lincoln and you Senator Obama, you’re no Abe Lincoln”.

    You’re right… he’s been getting record crowds since March so the convention is held in a large space, like a stadium. what a douche.

    Does Obama even choose the venue, wouldn’t it be the Dem. party?

    And he stands folding his arms when he’s thinking? Like me and apparently JFK and countless others happen to also do? What an ignorant dick.

    This Obama fellow needs to get a life! Or maybe it’s some of you petty fools.
