Even to this day, the press talks about JFK and Jackie in glowing terms, in a time when they <strong>don't</strong> have to censor themselves. That's the point I'm trying to make. Their silence on all of his blatant cheating implies that he was a great President, despite of his mistakes as a husband, but they refuse to treat Bill the same way. And if for example, WJC's father built Clinton wealth the same way that JFK's father built their family's wealth, it's a given that the MSM would not be as forgiving. Heck, I bet you we would hear calls that Bill and Hillary's assets should be seized, somehow tying their money into the illegal activity of the patriarch or something.

The FBI planned to use Dr King's cheating against him, but the White House and Attorney General's office put a stop to it. As to Edwards and Jackson, both were caught and the "court of public opinion" punished both of them (Jackson's role as a Civil Rights leader has been incredibly minimized; Edwards' reputation was so destroyed following the reports that his chances of running for elected office are virtually nil). As to Newt's cheating, once it was disclosed (coming at the same time as Clinton's "infidelity" and the calls for a Federal Marriage Amendment), Newt was rightly seen as a hypocrite (until then, Newt was among the leaders calling for Clinton to step down due to his trysts; after his own infidelities were exposed, Newt quickly did a 180 and began advocating that Clinton's "other" crimes be the sole source of prosecutions). As to the Kennedy wealth being built on "illegal activity", the same could be said about any number of wealthy families from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (the Hearst fortune, for instance, was built on yellow journalism; the Dole pineapple fortune wouldn't exist without older cousin Sanford's participation in overthrowing the Hawai'ian monarchy). If the activities weren't out and out illegal, then they were highly questionable if not highly unethical (even for the era in question--many actions that are now absolutely illegal were in grayer areas, if not actually condoned and routinely practiced).

Does he really think there are a "gaggle of aging love-struck groupies following Jon Bon Jovi around"? (Maybe we're supposed to applaud his choosing a rocker who got started in the 1980s instead of the 1960s.) THEN, Goldberg decides that Obama's Inaugural Address was praised as the greatest oration since Henry V at Agincourt? Hmm. That's funny. While there's no doubt that Henry V's speech was stirring (especially as it was written by Shakespeare; there doesn't seem to be any evidence of any reliable accounts from the period verifying the contents of Henry's speech--some French accounts state that Henry did speak if only to remind his troops that the nobles could be ransomed if captured while the majority of foot-soldiers would likely be killed after being captured, and you've got to admit that would be pretty inspiring on its own), there have been many, MANY more memorable pieces of oration, both fictional (Hamlet's soliloquy, anyone?) and historic (Lincoln's Gettysburg Address; MLK's "I Have a Dream"; various of Churchill's speeches to the House of Commons in 1940, including the "This was their finest hour" and the "blood, toil, tears and sweat" speeches; FDR's First Inaugural speech--with the "only thing we have to fear is fear itself" line--and his Four Freedoms speech, to say nothing of his response to Pearl Harbor; even Elizabeth I's speech at Tilbury, a real speech given before Shakespeare penned the Agincourt speech, and could have been "borrowed" as the inspiration for Henry V's words) that rate equal to, if not better, than Henry's words. Goldberg's overall message is pretty spot on, but he's a REALLY lazy writer with his analogies. Boy, that Jonah Goldbert is really with it, isn’t he?

I know his political career has been based on being a shape shifter but not only are these presidents all dead; they aren't going to be making new policies to help him out of situations our country must deal with today. The Democratic party appointed Barack Obama, formerly known as Barry Soertoro, and now reincarnated as Barack <strong>Hussein</strong> Obama, knowing he was lousy at making decisions and his strongest government decision was "Present".
