What If RFK Had Become President?

Wonderful off the cuff speech RFK made after hearing the news the MLK was killed. Truly showed his heart and character which was forged by of a life of effort and great personal loss. There is no doubt that he would have been a great president and we would have been a better country. After living through Nixon and now Bush it shows that the country can withstand really poor presidents but it's just so rare that we are given a good one. Let's hope and pray that Obama gets his chance to lead us forward. He's a breathe of fresh air compared with the backward, simple minded thinking we have endured for the past 8 years. Onward and upward!

Scaredofobama..Didn't Bush say, "Yo Blair, how ya' doin" at the summit of the Group of Eight? What an idiot, right? I'm so glad you agree. I think your analogy stands true. I can't count how many times I've thought our current administration is being run by "kids, gangs, thugs, and people that have zero respect for anyone or anything. " Posting over and over isnt a sign of intelligence, but a cry for attention. For someone who speaks so much of "getting back to work", you seem to have a lot of free time on your hands. Stop attacking anyone who has a different opinion from you. Keep your intolerance to yourself like your mother should have taught you, and let the rest of the people say what they want.

In consideration of the many resentful emails (probably masking inner hurt and disappointment) I have read thus far this morning, please be mindful of the unshakable immutable power contained in compassion, open mindfulness, cooperation, brotherhood, justice, and love. Listen to those qualities expressed in RFK's Indianapolis speach following the Martin Luther King assination and hear the power they bring forth as aknowledged in the Newsweek article that remembers "In the week that followed, there was rioting in more than 100 U.S. cities. But the inner City of Indianapolis was quiet".

lets get real not every politician or citizen is not an admire'r of or has the gangster mentality. some or many of us believe in a creator or a supreme being which is not a man or the almighty dollar. the kenedy's knew the game and who they were playing with. once you sell your soul in mans world there is no getting it back.. YOU PEOPLE ARE EITHER LIAR'S OR YOU ARE AWFULLY GULLIBLE. jefferson bowen (highschool GED)

I guess we will never known. We have greater problems than the "What If's". What a waste of print space!!!

Comment: scaredofobama, what kind of person would say that it would be a great day if they kill someone? I am not a fan of Senator Obama, but to wish that some harm comes to him, makes you the person that we should all be scared of.

The kind of person that says that ? Is the kind of person that sees this turban wearing muslim as an enemy of the Country I live in. Where my kids live, to say that, i wouldnt give any more concern about swattin a fly on my kitchen counter! thats who. this guy is the most liberal, dangerous man ever to run to become the most powerful man in the world. I would be extremely afraid and careful for what you people wish for. as far as tracking mu IP the dems say that illegal to spy, so im not worried. And I own this business, I am currently figuring out how to hire more LEGAL workers and keep the people that already have jobs here working. No thanks to our fair fair government. Im sick of this ***, you people are the problem certainly not the solution!

I imagine that RFK is somewhere between JFK and TeddyK on the political spectrum, probably closer to JFK rather than Ted. JFK is about where Lieberman is now, and TeddyK, well, he's just slightly to the right of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin.

He would have been a moderate, but the damage had already been done by LBJ and the Great Society plan he put into motion. His plans have kept many more blacks in the ghetto than have helped out of it.

Obama, on the other hand, is even further left than Teddy. Simpletons across the country have become enamored with his oratory skills and his deceptive message of "Change."

The United States is prosperous, stable and free, and Obama wants to change that.

scaredofobama, what kind of person would say that it would be a great day if they kill someone? I am not a fan of Senator Obama, but to wish that some harm comes to him, makes you the person that we should all be scared of.

I didn't know Newsweek.com had so many racist meth users and operation K-K-Khaos dillweeds who were willing to post their "insights" while at work. You folks do realize your company can see what you write and others can track your IP address?

ya well if they kill obama it will be a great day, i believe he is SATAN so whatever! this thread is lame im out!

Screw Obama, screw his dumb ass wife and all of you that are in love with him!

Although this article touches base on some of the facts related to RFK,I would have to agree as many Americans already know what is considerd "The true reason for the murder of JFK." .Concerned 1967 hit the right target with the in your face statement he posted. The powers that be while JFK was in office knew that the President was set for change, somewhat from what is going on with Obama and his race for the position for the highest office in the land.. Sad that history almost always repeats itself, and although like RFK in many ways,Obama sets the tone for change during some painful episodes in U.S.History! America is ready for a new leader with the goel to set this country on the right track,for all,regardless of Race,Religion,or Political background.....I only hope within that wish,that there is never an episode like the Kennedy's have faced,and that maybe this time America will get it right!..........Respectfully Seen enough! 1957

yeah our taxes should go to that, but it doesnt. Just like the tobacco lawsuit settlements we were told by OUR CONGRESS would be used for programs to help stop smoking ???? Obviously you believe this crap, believe this my Raider fan....that money was spent on earmarks for bacon museums and new bridges to noplace. They will make 7 trillion on the Cap and Trade if that passes which it will if Obama gets into power because they .......... the Leftests will make him sign that. That money will be spent to make our world greener? lmao, have fun paying for that. How many Raiders games you think you will be able to afford to go to. Dumb ass students. grow the hell of sonny boy!

to raiderdan60, Our taxes do go to education, heathcare, infrastructure and keeping our country safe. THey do my friend and they are squandered especially on education. Bush rolled over and served it up on a platter to Teddy for education and to what end? Tax and spend that is all the government does. Where have you been?
