Obama/Kennedy comparisons
Both Kennedy and Obama were/are gifted speakers and charismatic personalities. End of similarity. Kennedy's tax and economic programs were quite sane. He said lower taxes and increase revenues. Which works fairly well. Obama's tax and economic program is a disaster in the making.
Along with most, I cried at the assassination. But I recall Kennedy putting us in Vietnam. I was told if I voted for Goldwater we would have a big war, which I didn't believe. And they were right. I voted Republican and LBJ gave us a disaster, both economically and militarily.
I think whoever is president will get us out of Iraq within a year. But the difference in economic policies should be the main interest.Voters need to look at the published facts on the policies. You may be shocked.
