Ray McGovern: Obama is not JFK

[Albert Doyle]

Obama harnessed a tide of anti-Bush resentment and sold it to young people as the "Change" which got him elected. He then proceeded to sell out every single promise he made, reinforcing all of the Bush policies those who put him into office thought he would reverse. He is more like Lyndon Johnson than JFK because, as Johnson used Civil Rights to placate those who were screwed by Kennedy's assassination, Obama has used health care to cover-up his Johnson-like endorsement of the Bush agenda. America is run by the permanent war party and any opposition president is held in check by the Kennedy clause.
