Theres only a few men every century who have the capacity to influence the world at the magnitude that Kennedy was capable of, who knows where we would be if he hadnt been assassinated. Obama may be the next powerful motivator, lets hope he doesnt share the same fate.

@Raurex

Have you read JFK's 1960 speech, "My definition of a liberal"? His definition was classic liberalism: limited government, fiscal spending, and the preservation of liberty. There has not been a democratic president since John F. Kennedy with this same definition.

Many modern democrats compare themselves to JFK in vain. They aren't the same or even close to the preservation of freedom. A dedication to civil rights is admirable, but civil rights without liberty defeats the purpose.

@Raurex well he turned out to be a massive disappointment
