Teddy Endorsed Obama to Preserve JFK's Civil Rights "Legacy"?
We're on the front page at the Huffington Post.
The comparisons to John F. Kennedy are obvious, but, if you want to compare Obama to a popular, anti-war Kennedy who captured the country's youthful spirit of the 60s, you might want to look to a different Kennedy: Robert F. Kennedy.
John F. Kennedy was a cold warrior, a hawk and an interventionist who escalated Vietnam. Sure he inspired the youth and optimism, but if he ran today, as a Democrat, JFK would be hanging out with Sam Nunn or (shudder) Joe Lieberman.
