I have always believed Obama was very similar to JFK's brother RFK...
-Both were/are running during a time when the country was in a war many Americans didn't agree with
-Both oppose the war going on and want(ed) to remove troops
-Both drew huge crowds while traviling the country (RFK motercades/Obama getting 10+ thousand and early rallys)
-Both draw a large amount of young people and college students who support them
-Both drew/draw the most support of the activist/progressive members of the party
-Both were/are young
-Both would have only been in the Senate for 4 years at the time they will/would of be inagurated
-Both were Democrats
Rfk was assasinated during the primaries, hopefully Obama doesn't suffer the same fate

He has some of the same traits, and potentially the same appeal. He's smart, young, good looking, and a member of a population that has never before reached the presidency. In those ways, he is quite similar to JFK.

How could you compare them? JFK was his own man and they killed him for it. Obama would follow the directives of the CFR to the letter including the north american union!

He is charismatic like JFK-yes
He is young like JFK-yes
He is good looking- depends on your opinion.
But is he as electable- doubtful given some of his views or lack there of on the issues.

No, i don't think so; maybe that the media, has just got focus on him. And by the way, Kennedy had a big miscommunication with a foreign country.
---and his running for a president for the election of 2008''
