Jack White Wrote:"Will he stand up to the powers that be the way JFK did?"
If we have learned anything studying all this stuff for 45 years it is that Dallas, Memphis and Los Angeles were warnings that "standing up" will not be tolerated. Either you are a puppet or you are snuffed out. The message is clear. And Obama is a special case. There are plenty of rednecks who will be willing to undertake the task on him independently.
That is why there are no "worthy" candidates any more. Nobody of significance wants to volunteer for martyrdom.

Good points, Jack. But, that said, if Obama should win he MAY travel a short while down the JFK road. If.... Powell's nod this morning may influence this election.
I agree that the wing nuts out there would be more than happy to take him out. We have the SS saying there were no "kill him" voices in the Scranton PA crowd. I saw it on the news. Guess they had thier ipods on and missed it And this is the SS after all, they did little to protect in '63. To the contrary!
We will not know what he's made of until -(if)- he's in the WH. Certainly his bailout vote eroded much "hope" of someone different.
