JFK without the ideas

Recently Sen. Ted Kennedy has endorced Sen. Barack Obama. What a shot! After a couple glasses of vodka Ted thought Obama was just a different color JFK. That may be true in one department, but not in the department that really matters. After watching the past Democratic primary, it is quite obvious how Barack has risen to this position. He has the energy and carisma of the late JFK. Having not been alive during his time, but having seen video, read text, and discussed with people about this, I have come to grasp some idea of JFK. Looking at Barack i can understand the comparison in that department. But that is where it stops. Watching the last debate it is quite obvous that Barack does not have the ideas, leadership, nor experience to be the Democratic candidate. Believe me, and those who know me, I am in no way shape or form a Clinton supporter, but the comparrison is undeniable. Those who are following the Barack sharade, are being lured in by slick talking, energetic rallies and speaches, and the not so occasional cheasy cheap shot at whatever Republican candidate comes up . But all of this is indicitive of what the Republican race has become. At more points than most it has been a battle of one upsmanship. Whether it be race, sex, or"charitable" beginnings, the democrats have belittled themselves to a race about what sounds or looks nice. Personally, if it is going to be a Democratic president ( oh god i hope not) I would like it to be someone who at least has a focus on ideas and the good of the country, and not someone that is caught up in the glam of the public spotlight.
