Setting aside the fact she thinks Obama reminds her of her father - he doesn't. She is caught up in an emotion that reflects only emotion and nothing of substance.
Her father served the country in the military for over three years. Her father, could even be called a hero for being shot down err sunk, and then rescuing some of those men in the boat.
Obama has not served. Obama has never been a hero, not even one of those men pulled to safety by a hero.
Her father served in Congress - first in the House of Representatives and then in the US Senate, before running for the presidency.
Her father served three terms in the House.
Her father was elected to the Senate and the re-elected to the Senate - having served over seven years.
Her father served in the US Congress for over twelve years before he ran for the presidency.
Obama served in the Illinois legislature for a few years and a couple years in the Senate before he decided he had waited long enough.
He is NO John Kennedy. Not in intellect, wit, humor - in service, in courage - Obama has not shown any likeness to the mantle of the Democratic Party, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg's opinion to the contrary, he is not a fulfillment of her father's hopes.
Sidebar:
What we do see from all this Kennedy stuff thrown around is how little the Kennedy's thought of Bill, for no one came out and said he was a fulfillment of John Kennedy. How very self-aggrandizing that Bill had Richard Reeves to the White House for lunch one day (the president's public lunch tends to be 20-30 minutes), turns into an afternoon, and then a dinner - all spent discussing John Kennedy. His policies down to his personal proclivities - which took up the majority of the conversation (according to Reeves). All that for not Mr. Clinton. Sorry.
End of Sidebar:
As to you Senator Obama - it is great to diss McCain and say his experience in Vietnam did not provide the experience to serve (and you did suggest this Senator, even if the Weaselly Wesley Clark actually said it - keep note Senator, another reason why you are unfit) as president. Senator, if his experience did not provide him the experience to serve, and his years in the Senate didn't prepare him ... your two years have not even begun to prepare you.
You sir, are wholly unfit, not only because you have served no time - I think we should start electing presidents who have never done anything - they are just as qualified - rather, you try to impugn Senator McCain's service as not being worthy, yet you get to take the high road and pretend it wasn't you, but it was - Mr. Clark is a mouthpiece and has been Senator for quite some time. You are pretty pathetic when you attempt these weaselly attacks. Taking the high road seems to be your public mode of travel, but we both know you are just as much a gutter person as any other pol in DC.
I do not think time in the Senate make you qualified for diddly Senator, I don't. Your two years makes you qualified to ---- do law, and you did that before you went into the Illinois legislature. You have shown that there is nothing new about your campaign Senator, nor about you - you are not Kennedy, if we even need another; you are not an equal to McCain, you are not qualified.
You are the Emperor without clothes and thus far no serious mainstream media have called you on this, hopefully they will, because that is something you do deserve. Mimicking the Reverend King in one place, John Kennedy in another, attacking, dividing, accusing, denigrating - you are the politics of OLD Senator, nothing new - we threw out the Carter and Ted Kennedy politics, we don't need a Barbara Boxer running for president and she has eons more federal experience than you Senator, and she is just slightly over qualified to run a dog shelter.
I do not doubt the fact you believe you are patriotic Senator, but to be honest, it doesn't matter if I think I am a bird, I am not, regardless of whether I wear feathers and eat birdseed.
You authored and supported a bill that would tax American GDP .7%, creating a fund of nearly 1 trillion dollars for the UN to use as it decides (even if it is for poverty, it ultimately comes down to the UN determining what poverty, and more importantly, the trillion is put into a bank Senator, with the profit to be for .... ??? The interest on a trillion dollars Senator is enough to prop up governments or cause some governments to collapse. It is enormous and the power wielded by anyone/thing that controls a trillion dollars is VERY powerful). That Senator is not very American ... that is very internationalist.
Senator, you have spoken about signing various and sundry treaties, obliging the US to international standards ... leaving China out, leaving India out. The two worst polluters on earth and you ignore them. You say - well, it doesn't matter what they do, it matters to us what we do - and that is true. Like invent a car that drives on water - Japan did it without your laws and commandments. Signing the treaties may get you a few tree hugger votes Senator, but it will, without any question, further weaken the US economy by as much as a trillion dollars.
That would knock two trillion off our economy within one year of you taking over. Not very patriotic unless the goal of your patriotism is to weaken us so much so we must compete once again to overtake the Chinese, who would, with 2 trillion chopped off our economy, overtake us quite quickly and they would not be obliged to abide by any standards unless they determine the standards. You would say that doesn't matter as long as we are saving the planet. Senator, who the fuck cares if we save the planet so the Chinese can enslave us, or the US is so weakened we are unable to ever again launch a D Day offensive if needed - who the fuck cares if the world is saved - so that mankind can be enslaved. Are you a lunatic?
There is absolutely no proof the world is in jeopardy, but we do know the enemies of freedom have not and will not rest. Global earth issues are feelings and opinions, threats to liberty and human freedom are facts we can look at around the globe. You would throw out what we know and embrace the emotional and in so doing weaken the US. THAT SENATOR is not patriotic.
You would have to, and I say this with absolute certainty, have to cut the military. You would not of course, and you would assure the American people, just as the Euros did several times until they gave up even the pretense, you would assure us you would not cut support for the military, just the size. This would enable you to try to get a few of your social programs out into the light of day ... THAT Senator would weaken our defense. At a time when China is going all out building a military, when the Russians are rebuilding their military, when Iran is building its military ... you want to cut ours. Because Senator, you believe that should another world event occur, you would rally the world to help - - - - all 500 troops from Australia, 3,000 from Britain ... those troops will make the difference Senator? Are you bloody joking? No nation on earth can stand up to China at this moment BUT for the US and that would last a short time without Russian help. And you want to cut our military to provide for your social programs and the enlargement of government.
Are you bloody joking. Senator, China will attack Taiwan. It is not if, but when, and when they do, what will you do - call the UN up and ask them to demand the immediate withdrawal? Condemn the invasion and conquest and demand China leave? And when China says up yours, what then senator? You will go back to your room and look pretty pathetic. How soon after do you think every Arab group would begin attacks on undermining the US. You don't see a connection, but Senator, in the real world all these events are and will be connected and you are not prepared to deal with them. This is why Senator, your patriotism may well be real, it is just not what is best for this country.
You cannot change what you are Senator, stop pretending. All you have left is who you are and while it is not good enough to be our president, you should not make a joke of who you are by pretending to be something you are not.
