JFK died 45 years ago in November--it's taken all this time to get

back what we lost in Dallas. Hope lives again.

1. Yes it is. Its back, I can feel it. It feels good, real good.

2. I've been trying to avoid that comparison but cannot anymore.

Good lord that was good.

3. There are elements of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Kennedy there

Sure it's hyperbolic to say, but I think it's true.

The sober, calmness of Lincoln.

The ability to inspire like Kennedy.

And a first rate mind that strives for pragmatism and practicality like Roosevelt.

Obama has good make up.

4. It's funny that you would say that. JFK was the first person that ever

got me interested in politics back when I was young. Like everyone else, I remember exactly where I was when I learned that he had been shot. That event marked the beginning of my disillusionment with American politics. And by the time of the second George Bush administration, I was so disheartened by the total criminality of the entire Government structure that I had no hope we would ever take back our Country.

During the primary, I had my doubts about Senator Obama. Now, having seen his performances during the campaign I have begin to have hope again that honest, caring and intelligent people just might be regaining the leadership positions. We just might be on the road to recovery, having shown that our system, flawed as it is, was able to join arms, throw out the criminals and resume Democracy in the spirit it was originally intended to be.

If the crooks are able to somehow stop us on November 4th, I can't even imagine the outcomes.

5. As awesome as JFK was .....

.... he's no Barack Obama.

We wont be talking about Barack chasing Scarlett Johanson around the Oval Office 40 years from now.

And that's just the top of the list of reasons why.
