"Change American politics" how?

This is a leaf from JFK's book.

Appearances over substance.

Change. Hope. Hackneyed cliches. Mindless platitudes. Nothing new about him.

I am no JFK fanboy, BUT Barry Obama isn't in the same league. JFK actually had more experience than Barry does. JFK did not campaign on "change"; his campaign speeches were about being more like Eisenhower. He DID oppose the USSR and its expansionist moves (Barry wants a "dialogue" with people who wish us dead). Hell, JFK favoured a reduction in personal and corporate income tax. JFK made errors and some serious mistakes (Bay of Pigs), but could you imagine Barry trying face an opponent like the old USSR?

Barry IS an empty suit with enough cliches to fill the Pacific Ocean. The only difference between Barry and Hillary is that he doesn't wear a pantsuit and is not as masculine in appearance.

It is. But I got sick when I heard the daughter endorse Obama. JFK would be shunned by the left today.
