		<description>Obama does equal JFK and also equals Jimmy Carter.  Great ideas, no connections to follow through.

Johnson was the fulfillment of JFK's "ask what not your country can do for you" speech, Johnson had the power to get a consensus vote due to his length in time in Congress, so does Mrs. Clinton.  Mr. Obama has shown no strength in crossing the aisle and as a born and raised first American child I cherish actions over words.

Mrs. Clinton has what it takes, Mr. Obama is well intentioned just as Jimmy Carter was but that is what he will be, an outsider that doesn't have the support of the majority of Democrats, has not worked to find compromise with the Republicans and will fail.

I would really hate to see the first African American president fail as it would reinforce all the racial and religious bias (Mormanism to be specific, how many Bishops are African American in the Church of the Latter Day Saints?)set this country back over 100 years.

Mr. Obama should have waited because if Mrs. Clinton does not win the Democrat nomination, I can't vote for him due to his lack of experience.  I may waste my vote but I'll do a write in for Bloomberg because I can't vote for McCain either.

Shame Mr. Obama, you should be supporting a much more seasoned and able candidate.

Mr. Obama, you've split the party that could have done some great things in at the least the next 4 years and at best the next 8 years.  Unfortunately you've allied yourself with the JFK Camelot myth and the Jimmy Carter "outsider" politics.  Check yourself, see what good it did our current President to be an outsider.

Tired of not being heard!
