Obama is no JFK. JFK calls opponent a "Circus Elephant"

[Proud2BAmurkin]

"Change" the tone? Uh, let's NOT.

:rofl:

1. Yeah, ok then smart guy--who's Nixon right now?

Hillary? Or Edwards?

[ProSense]

2. LOL! n/t

[Proud2BAmurkin]

3. The rePUKE. Obama wants to play nice with him.

JFK wouldn't

[Bicoastal]

5. WHICH Repuke?

The one that hasn't been nominated yet?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

yup. Obama wants to "reconcile."

As JFK said, are you nuts?

[Bicoastal]

8. Reconcile with voters, not a GOP candidate who hasn't even been nominated yet!

As Bicoastal said, are you stupid or something?

14. You can't reconcile with repukes without reconciling with their leaders

[Occam Bandage]

16. Sure you can. In fact, it's necessary.

[jackson_dem]

17. Obama should prove it then. Has he engineered any big compromise in Congress?

[Occam Bandage]

18. That's the opposite of what we're talking about.

That issue has absolutely nothing to do with my point, since we're talking about reconciling with disaffected voters, and not with Republican leaders.

You claim that Obama, to reconcile with voters, must reconcile with Republican leaders.
I claim that is actually not the case at all.
You demand proof in the form of examples of Obama reconciling with Republican leaders.

[jackson_dem]

19. How will he do that? 40% of the country voted against even FDR

[pocoloco]

20. I bet your powder is dry!

[Occam Bandage]

21. Oh, here I thought that was the ObamaNation kool-aid.

[Occam Bandage]

7. Oh, no, see, we're talking about Straw Obama, not Real Obama. Straw Obama's a pansy.

[Occam Bandage]

4. JFK was an inspiring man, but he was not inspiring because he could hurl juvenile insults.

Rather, he was inspiring despite that fact.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. I don't think that was juvenile and the streetfighter in him was part of inspiration nt

nt

[Occam Bandage]

Um...yeah, it was. That was expected in '60. That would be embarrassingly puerile today.

Kennedy's inspiring moments were when he talked about universal dedication to a greater goal, and not when he cracked playground jokes. The fact that he was a "fighter" made his call to dedication and service more believable, but they were a supporting aspect, rather than a central aspect. It is the former that is his legacy, and not the latter.

[Bluerthanblue]

15. WORD-

inspiring-

motivating-

inclusive-

those were the qualities that made JFK the leader I admire.

[avaistheone1]

9. Absolutely. It was part of JFK's genius.

Obama is a very smart guy, but he is not another JFK, or Martin Luther King.

[KennedyGuy]

10. when you're right..you're right

[bunnies]

11. You need a hobby.

I myself enjoy crochet, oil painting, marathon running and playing classical piano. For you however I might suggest Twister and Connect Four.

[Occam Bandage]

13. He has one.

[dailykoff]

12. did you guys get an e-mail from Carville or something?

And this topic is unbelievably dumb.

[HughMoran]

22. "his head full of ivory, a long memory and no vision"

They follow each other around holding the tail of the elephant in front of them.

:rofl:

That was hilarious!! I do wish we had folks running who could pull something like this off!
