Such A Brouhaha »

All over a cartoon. A satirical cartoon at that. The one Obama didn’t care about before he cared about it. Yes, I am referring to the cover of the New Yorker which dared to depict The Emperor and Empress Obama in anything less than a devotional homage. How DARE they?!? Never mind that the cartoon [...]

In 1939, James Thurber published a short story entitled, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Standing the test of time, this story was depicted in a movie and later, in the 60s it was a short-lived TV series. The book was published through the late 70s and it remains available today. Because of the character [...]

Barack Obama broke with tradition when he moved the Democratic National Committee from DC to Chicago. For many of us, this move emphasized the merger of the Obama campaign with the Democratic Party. And to many of us, that merger made clear that the Democratic Party no longer belongs to the people, it belongs to [...]

Totalitarian Tactics and an Illegitimate Nominee »

Neither the main stream media nor the Democratic Party nor even the Obama campaign itself has come to terms with the damage Obama’s tactics have done to our Party. The damage was facilitated by the media and the big blogs. Obama’s first task was controlling the media. Politicalcenter writes: Taking their cue from totalitarian regimes, [...]

Senator, You’re No Jack Kennedy »

By LisaB on Jun 7, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, John F. Kennedy, John Kerry, John McCain | 53 Comments

One of the more persistent (and pernicious) memes of this campaign so far is Obama as JFK. This is an unfortunate habit of presidential contenders – to try and siphon off some JFK gloss and call it their legacy. Yawn. I won’t go into why this happens, that’s too obvious to bother with. And I [...]

The post below was written by Mary Jo Kopechne, PhD, with assistance from Bud White: Upon being discharged from the Navy, John F. Kennedy worked briefly for the Hearst newspapers covering the newly formed United Nations. He wrote to a friend from San Francisco: When I think of all those gallant acts that I have [...]

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary [...]

Rev. Wright Attempts to Sully the Memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 29, 2008 in Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. | 150 Comments

Rev. Wright mocked the Boston-accent pronunciations of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and mimicked him — wholly inaccurately. Not only does Rev. Wright not have a good ear for accents, he does not have a good ear for how his outrageous, self-aggrandizing remarks are received by the larger whole of American people. Here is John Fitzgerald that [...]

Superdelegates: Pick a Winner »

The superdelegates are going to pick the next Democratic nominee. Winning the General Election against John McCain should be their primary concern. Let’s assume Hillary wins tomorrow in Pennsylvania. Regardless of her margin of victory, superdelegates are still tasked with picking the Democratic nominee. A post by Jeralyn on TalkLeft argues convincingly that Obama would [...]

It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. – The Meaning of Liberalism John F. Kennedy The civil war now being waged in the Democratic Party gives us an opportunity to redefine liberalism and the Party itself. The sexism [...]

By SusanUnPC on Jan 6, 2008 in John F. Kennedy, Obama | 16 Comments

– Via Big Tent Democrat’s post at TalkLeft.com From “Part I: Obama and Kennedy: Gut vs. Experience“: The Obama campaign has often summoned the spirit of John F. Kennedy.

Obama and Kennedy: Gut vs. Experience »

By SusanUnPC on Jan 3, 2008 in Democrats, John F. Kennedy, Obama, Presidential Candidates | 30 Comments

The Obama campaign has often summoned the spirit of John F. Kennedy. That evocative association is finally and forever severed in “Ask Not! Why Obama is No JFK,” a new Washington Monthly article by Ted Widmer — who Steve Clemons calls “one of the most insightful historians of early American political history and Director of [...]
