I've always felt this comparison of Obama to JFK is superficial.....what they have in common is they are both charismatic and appeal to the young. For me, it stops there. Kennedy was a playboy from all I've read. There wasn't a lot of substance to him. However, he had a beautiful wife, and two cute kids. When he was assassinated, he became an American legend. Obama is much more than that IMO. BEFORE John F. Kennedy was a president, a legend, a myth and a poltergeist stalking America’s 2008 campaign, he was an upstart contender seen as a risky bet for the Democratic nomination in 1960. Kennedy was judged “an ambitious but superficial playboy” by his liberal peers, according to his biographer Robert Dallek. “He never said a word of importance in the Senate, and he never did a thing,” in the authoritative estimation of the Senate’s master, Lyndon Johnson. Adlai Stevenson didn’t much like Kennedy, and neither did Harry Truman, who instead supported Senator Stuart Symington of Missouri.
