When JFK took the Democratic Party nomination he had been a Congressman and a Senator from MA. Moreover he had a war record where he served with bravery. One knew exactly what kind of stuff JFK was made of. He was his own man and could prove it. What does Obama have, 120 days in the Senate before announing. Twenty years of rubber stamping every Liberal proposal in Ill. The question that is UNANSWERABLE, even though the Democrats will try to spin and spin is who is going to be running the nation if Obama is elected President? Will Obama be Carolines Kennedys lap dog, or at the beck and call of every extrermist policy of Nancy Pelosis. Nobody can answer what kind of stuff Obama is made of, not until he has been down in the trenchs and been able to prove his leadership skills in real time. Until then Obama is an unknown quanity and does America want to put an unknown in command of the ship of state?
