OBAMA - JFK - ANNA NICOLE???

Hillary seems to be looking to the heavens for some divine intervention after the whooping she took from Barack in South Carolina.

Obama had a hell of a weekend, destroying Clinton in South Carolina by a larger percentage than anyone expected, getting a nice mix of votes for all age groups and ethnicity, and garnishing the endorsement of the Kennedy clan when Teddy and Caroline came aboard and backed him.

Caroline even went as far as to say "I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."

Now by no means do I expect Caroline to have anything negative to say about her dear old dad, but the infatuation and warped perceptions this country has with our 35th president is amazing.

I wonder if in 20 years people will look back on Anna Nicole Smith with such reverence as they do to JFK and James Dean, two "wonderful Americans" who basically did very little.

JFK was in the midst of the civil rights movement, and basically did nothing but give a little encouragement and a lot of stonewalling and there was an entire generation of people that would define itself around the anti-war movement and all he did was escalate Vietnam.

JFK was as confused and over matched as any president as he flopped from one crisis to another, starting with the Bay of Pigs and proceeding through the Cuban Missile Crisis (where he gambled with the lives of most of the people on the planet).

JFK was a major disappointment as a president, but that was forgotten after he became America’s first celebrity causality.

What this country needs is some positive reinforcement, and pride, and a great communicator, we should be looking for the next Ronald Reagan, not the next John Kennedy.
