It's no secret that the motivation of the press and media in their protection of Barack Obama during his run for President was a romantic notion that this man would somehow restore the good old days of the Kennedy administration . In fact, they pretty much regard him as the second coming of JFK. Unfortunately , this is a magnificent example of romantic myth overcoming grim reality. First, the Veitnam war was , in fact, escalated by the Kennedy administration.Before Kennedy, the United States was in Nam only in an advisor capacity, and during Kennedy's time as President, there was no outcry by the other Obama clone, Bobby Kennedy , regarding the war, until he himself was running for President. Strange how he would then say that freedom is only important when it's for our own people and when it doesn't cost "billions" of dollars. The other myth is even harder to understand.JFK and RFK did nothing to further the cause of civil rights.That was accomplished by Lyndon Johnson,who's name should be synonomous with the entire civil rights era.He did it all, really and he should be the one that Barack Obama should admire and emulate. There was one person who worked on the campaign of JFK who knew full well about the complete lack of concern by the Kennedy's for civil rights. That person was Sammy Davis Jr., singer and entertainer, who , after a tireless effort to help get out the vote for Jack,was told in no uncertain terms by Bobby that his presence at campaign rallies was unwelcome and might hurt Jack's chances to get elected. Wow!, no wonder Obama admires these brothers so much. No wonder the liberal media regards Barack as the next JFK. Jack and Bobby. What uniters. What champions for the dream of Martin Luther King. What nonsense.Hey Obama supporters, stop believing the "myth" of Camelot and face reality. Obama is no Kennedy, and with JFK's stance on strong military,low taxes, support of Viet Nam war ,and no regard for civil rights , he shouldn't want to be. |
