| I did not start the comparison to Hitler but once started I would never have considered Obama a Churchill or a Kennedy. Churchill was well prepared for his role in history.
We all learn from our mistakes and are wiser and more experienced for the lesson. Both Churchill and Kennedy learned from their mistakes and were better prepared for their respective offices. I personally think that Kennedy could have had a few more mistakes in his life prior to his becoming President.
Lets face it, in todays world, JFK could never be President. John Kennedy did not think that the rules applied to him and he did whatever he could get away with, including getting into the U.S. Navy without a physical examination, since there was no way he could have passed any standard medical examination.
He sensed, correctly, that if he did not participate in WW II, he was not going to have much of a political life. He wanted into the public life and did it the hard way. He worked for it.
To have such a man with frail health as his was as your commander could be dangerous; the John Kennedy who got to be commander of a PT-109 never should have been there. However, when PT-109 was run down by a Japanese warship, the lieutenant who never should have been there swam six miles holding the belt, (in his teeth)of a badly burned man thus saving his life.
He then went back into the dark ocean to try to save others. He lost his boat, but saved most of his crew. Must of learned a lot from such experiences. That man would get my vote.
How does it go? McCain has forgotton more about life's lessons than Obama will ever learn.
I found out long ago that there are no shortcuts to any place worth going. That is why I am not voting for Obama, I don't believe there are any shortcuts to experience.
