A President Like My Father...Caroline Kennedy endorses Obama

“And it just amazes me how the “Catholic” Kennedys give their support to such a flagrantly pro-abortion candidate”.

These Kennedy’s are cafeteria Catholics, who pick from a menu of catholic dicta those precepts that they will obey or not. For all his faults, I don’t think that JFK would ever have abided infantacide in any shape or form.

I understand what you say.

But I kind of have different thoughts.
Comparing Obama to Hitler is an excess (my opinion).

We all know that a president usually plays a more political than a technical role. Presidents do nothing on their own, they need to get the people on to the important issues.

Please notice that I’m not defending anyone, but motivating people is an essential quality nowadays.
Other than that I think he’s far more conservative than Clinton, and I would vote for him (considering democrats) or Huckabee or McCain (please, this is just a stupid “if”).
I do think that today experiency is not that important and essential quality, and I’ve never heard of this subject being so much discussed, so it seems to me it’s more like a “excuse” or tatics from the side of the ones who cay say they are “experienced”.

What the hell did he ever do?

Everybody thinks he had a great record on civil rights, when the opposite is true. He nominated segregationist judges. He had his brother bug Martin L. King's phone conversations. By assisting Diem's fall, he probably set the course that led to defeat in Vietnam. Kennedy approved the Bay of Pigs fiasco, when doubts about its success were already being voiced in the CIA's inner circle. The Cuban Missile Crisis was far from being a success, since its outcome assured the survivability of Castro's regime. Sure doesn't look like Camelot to me.

Unless JFK needed one of his knocked up girlfriends to visit a back-alley abortionist.

Clearly Caroline never knew her father, only the Camelot myth.

Many were convinced in 1963 that JFK was directly responsible for Diem’s death.
