Comparing Obama to JFK when Chauncey Gardner, "Being There," better fits that bill:

"Obama can best be compared to another salesman of “hope,” John F. Kennedy, who ran for president in 1960. By then, Kennedy had served 14 years in Congress, not two. He had served in a war and been grievously wounded, not been an “organizer” who never organized anything. Kennedy had experienced life, and near-death. What has Obama experienced? Very little, it seems.

"For him to claim that the barriers are higher, that the bar is higher for him to succeed, is nonsense. It is crass racialism. Obama is a product of the very “24-hour…small-minded politics” that he decries. “Barry” Obama? Makes a great speech. Absent the cablemeisters, Obama would be an obscure state senator in Springfield. He is the ultimate product of shrewd marketing and a pliable public, not the opposite.

"Chauncey Gardner is a blood brother to Obama. Platitudes, bunkum, snake oil; Gardner and Obama share a common parent.

".... In short, Obama is media construct who will disappoint a lot of people when the truth comes out."
