    If Pobomobo knew his HISTORICAL FACTS and its obvious he doesnt he would know Vietnam was well under way BEFORE JFK became president. As a matter of HISTORICAL FACT JFK had a plan to get us out of Vietnam. This plan is exactly why LBJ was able to get the needed allies on his side to murder JFK and get the presidency. This was the only way a bafoon like LBJ could become preisdent. The man didn't have the sense or smarts to be elected as dog warden and was only chosen as a VP choice so JFK could win over southerners. Just a word of caution know your historical facts before you urinate!!!!!!

    What do you mean Obama wasn't privileged? He is probably one of the most priviledged people in the world. Unprivileged would be a beaner picking lettuce. But Obama? For Christ's sake the man is an affirmative action baby. If it weren't for affirmative action, he would probably have become a successful janitor. I can't believe people call him a great orator, the man cant say an entire sentence without stuttering at least ten times (and you know I'm *** right). Get the *** out of here, I'm surprised he even passed third grade. The man's a *** tele-prompter reader not an aspiring president. And by the way....*** that communist Kennedy prettyboy. Peace.

    true what ifs are for people with too much time on their hands. but this is a what if that needs careful exploration do you think? as Americans we would have had a lot to gain from a president like RBK. E.g Vietnam would not have dragged for as long as it had and maybe just maybe the racial issue that plagued the US would also have been resolved. there are so many ifs here it would take a while to exhaust them all. take a minute and think about: HOW WOULD AMERICA HAVE TURNED OUT IF RFK HAD BECOME ITS PRESIDENT EVEN FOR ONE TERM??????????

    I wasn't going to comment cause I could care-less but when people us Christianity to spread what they believe and twist their ideas to fit somehow fit Christianity it REALLY ticks me off. Theologically speaking there's now way in the world that Obama can be the anti-christ because the anti-Christ will not come from the U.S. he's set to come from Europe. An scripture also states there will be many anti-christ's before the true anti-christ makes himself known. Meaning a whole stage/movement is begun to set the stage for him. All things powers, kingdoms, nations are given unto him....It's in scripture. My suggestion is to take some escatology classes or find a good Bible-believing church that teaches true theology and doesn't fill your head up with imaginative or "this is what I (notice I) think will happen..." People like that aren't worth listening to...Better yet go to Ihop.org and check out their End-Times Theology. That will surely give you some REAL insight. As for Barack Obama...I'm going to his rally tonight America needs change and needs someone who is really willing to help America out. As for this article RFK had it right unfornatley America tends to get it wrong except for a few select individuals that believe in Love and peace with it's fellow man and caring about others no matter what race, creed, religion, gender they are. In the end it's about Love...

    kibran what attracts many of YOU to people like the Kennedys and Obama is you are people who would rather have the government give you freebees that it steals from people that work hard for a living. The STATE OF OHIO. "Republicans" do not and are not attracted to these kind of radicals. Do yourself a huge favor before you vote. do a search on CAP and TRADE. Enough said, there is no way to get the blind to see. You all love this guy, even when him and his wife insult the very country you live in, so whatever. Time to get back to work. I need to figure out how to pay for all these tax increases that are headed our way.

    I have nothing against the sleezebag, murder, bootleger, thief (Kenndey family), but I'm very upset with free tax spending, oil corrupted, terror planing, incompetent, arrogant, war hungry, murder (Bush family), My 8yr old asked me, "should't the president be the smartest one in this country", how do you answer that question.
    So it made me think, since most of the government officials are corrupted, stole at one point or other, we know for a fact , that they're not the most competent people on earth, and few if not many have cheated on their wives ( Spitzer exmpl). Why don't we select random state prison, and let them run this country for 4 years.
    reply to urinating on JFK/RFK graves, i have to hold my urin until all the Bush clan passes, still waiting.

      Wow! Your hatred is going to eat you up. . . and , . . . the sooner the better. You should tell your eight year old that he or she should work to be the smartest person in the country because he or she isn't going to learn anything from you.

      • Posted By: ras74 @ 06/05/2008 10:01:33 AM

        It's not hatred, you are missing the point. It is about integrity of US government offcials, and its leaders. You and I chose to be in politics, but still working towards single goal, to have better living for your family and make sure that our kids will have better and safer world to live in. Unfortunately you and i can't change that, but people who we chose to do that and were sworn to do the job, made choice to be greedy and in it for them selves. They chose not to care for people like you, me our kids or for that fact anybody in this country. I did't answer that question, but i teach my kids honesty, truth about god, and working in homeless shelters to help others, something that our government is not doing enough off.

    Robert Kennedy left a mark in the hearts of every one, sometimes a mark can be more important than being the President of the United States. Many questions are left unanswered........why some must survive while some must lay to rest.....never the less all things are done by the will of GOD, somethings HE allows and somethings HE disallows, but in the end everything will lead to perfection.

    "What if" is nice to think about..... it's not a distraction. It's honoring those who have impacted our history. Also, I agree that we are all in serious trouble if Obama is elected. The President of the United States should be a patriotic person with love of country. Should he/she not? We are trying to put someone into office that doesn't even RESPECT our national anthem by placing his hand on his heart! Sure he has an excuse, but haven't you ever heard that "actions speak louder than words"! The USA does need to put it's trust back in God because he is the only one that can help us all now!

    nope i live in Ohio and thats a state that this radical liberal idiot you think is some sort of Mesiah will not win in NOV. lmao you are totall blinded by this guy? Are you really that naive? get a grip man your family depends on you to make good choices. But being in you case obviously you need the Government to support your wellfare ass. GET AN EDUCATION because if you truly believe what you are saying you need one. GO GET A JOB. I'm tired of paying for deadbeats like you.

    there is an acid test for whether presidential nominee Barak Obama (bad luck Hilary!) has the same genuine intention to change the way America works that JFK and (to a lesser extent) Robert Kennedy had. the test is assassination! if the Military Industrial complex who secretly run the nation through their political puppets allow him to live long enough to become President then we can assume it will be business as usual. if a mysterious "lone gunman" takes it upon himself to riddle Obama with bullets in some public place while his Secret Service bodyguards look on, if he shares the fate of John and Bobby, Martin and Malcolm, then we can assume that his wish to turn America into a fairer, more democratic society, is genuine. in a way, it is the highest compliment the political establishment can bestow - either you're worth assassinating or you're not! either you're a JFK, or just a Ted! good luck Barak, I hope you live long enough to enjoy your victory over both Mrs Clinton AND McCain, the semi-senile octogenerian war-hero that the Rebublicans have busted out of a retirement home! i guess they think all the true blue gun-owners out there will take a vet over a draft-dodger... remember, USA, put your "X" in the Nader box and stir things up!

    Yo Scared.. Blow Me! Thank god for the First Amendment. You dont happen to live in West Virginia do you?

    "to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world," is what attracts many of us to the Kennedy Family and now to Obama. RFK was privileged, Obama was not. Here are two very distinct men who seek the compassion of mankind and believe that reaching out and talking to our foe is the best way to resolve conflict. Communication is what we are constantly being told that we need amongst ourselves to resolve familial,emplyee/employer,etc conflicts. We need to practice what we preach with the world as well. Communication w/our foe does not mean that we agree, it means a willingness to reach out , meet each other half way and discuss alternative solutions that are beneficial to all.

    Comment: Scared of Obama I believe your mother is the antichrist. She spawned you now didnt she. I would suggest serious psychological counselling either that or drive a stake into your own heart and put us all out of your misery


    I rest my case..................... Thank God for the 2nd ammendment buh bye

    It's ironic to read this article, because my family and I were just talking about "what ifs" the other day. My great uncle, Ralph Adams, saved George Herbert Bush's life in WWII. What if he hadn't saved his life? What would this world be like today? I'm happy he did save his life, after all George is a human being, but there's always the "what ifs".

    i used to think i live in the safest place on Earth you idiot. Radical thinking baffoons like you only make it more dangerous. Thanks for the advice, I just might take my kids and find a place safer than the Devided States of Obama will be. Do us all a favor, please do NOT breed.

  • Posted By: McCainSucksChit @ 06/05/2008 9:33:42 AM

    Yeah everyone is much better off under Bush. All those military men who unnecessarily died in Iraq and Afghanistan based upon us going into a place we had and have no business being. I'm sure all those families think he is just the BEST PRESIDENT EVER. Its all about you Viper you *** moron. I cant imagine why you lost your job. Must be your major intelligence and personality.

    • Posted By: Leen13 @ 06/05/2008 9:38:49 AM

      I'm with you! Seems Bush supporters are largely very self-centered individuals with little care for others. I've seen the results of the eight LONG years under Bush's tyrannical steerage of our country. Hmmm, lost lives, lost jobs, lost homes. Maybe some don't care, but I do.

    This is nonsense talk. Yes, we respect and liked MLK, RFK, JFK, and Special K, but lets stop the "what if"? crap. It's a distraction to the reality of today's politics and social frameworks.
