Kennedy meant hope for a lot of people. Probably more than Obama. Before long, the number of US troops in Vietnam went from 800 to over 6000. Then he got shot. Let us pray history does not repeat.

I could not care less...
But I think it's a good thing that a black person was elected as president for the first time. Now when are women going to get their turn? |

That being said, it was pivotal for his being remembered as one of the best presidents, ever. The efficacy of the secret service has increased a great deal since then, so it would be difficult for a would-be assasin to get such a great shot at Obama (not that anyone is safe, just that he won't be in a slow moving convertible passing buildings with openable windows). Therefore, Obama will likely be judged not for what he might have accomplished, but for what he actually does. As first black presidents go, I think Colin Powell would have clinched it in 2000, running as a republican. He would have been a much better president than GW Bush, but, for reasons of his own, Colin Powell did not want the job (I seem to recall there was an attempt by the republicans to court him as their candidate). |

We shall see
I also supported Barack.:thumbs: I would also like to see a viable 3rd party candidate to break up the 2 parties control of congress. That being said, I am playing the wait and see game, its about results not rhetoric. I am proud that we as a country have come far enough in our social development to elect a minority.:thumbs:
