I got this from a friend in Australia !Yesterday I voiced my very real, Deep concern about Barrak Obama: the MSM says Race is not a concern here and they are dead wrong. It is not a concern of mine or many others in the Democratic party but remember this is only the Primary. I absolutely 100% expect Obama to be our nominee and will be our next President. However Caroline's endorsement of Obama saying he is most like her Father eliciting the support of the masses makes me remember one of my many concerns for these elections. As her Father was assassinated I fully believe that is a very real concern when it comes to running for the Presidency. There are many as you know, in the Republican party who will never accept it. Today after new findings I am convinced!
I just got through listening to Barraks acceptance speech after being endorsed by Caroline and Ted and Patrick Kennedy! it was a rousing speech and the more I hear him speak I know he is what the country needs, I know he can do the job, and the more concerned I get pre-election.
First I happened to have gotten an E from Jerome last night and if anyone knows JFK and his accomplishments primarily because he was a part of them, it is the relentless liberal. This is what he had to say and it makes me even more concerned:

Revisiting John Fitzgerald Kennedy By Jerome Grossman:
President John F. Kennedy has a special place in the hearts of Americans for many positive reasons but especially because he was assassinated in the middle of his term of office on November 22, 1963. A handsome and charismatic leader, he was a gifted orator whose speeches regularly focused on inspirational themes. He arrived at the White House with no executive experience, a factor that led him into serious difficulties early in his term.
In his campaign for election in 1960, Kennedy attacked the Eisenhower - Nixon administration from the right, accusing it of weakening American security by building too few planes, missiles and other military supplies. After taking power, Kennedy significantly increased U.S. military strength and began using it in Vietnam, increasing the number of US soldiers there from 665 to 16, 000, and sending them into combat in Vietnam for the first time.
Early in his term, Kennedy suffered a serious defeat when he allowed the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba that failed. Then he met in Vienna with Soviet Premier Khrushchev to negotiate rights to Berlin. That also failed, brought the two countries to the brink of war, and inaugurated a period of great tension and confrontation marked by the Soviet erection of the Berlin Wall.
Kennedy did have some minor successes in foreign-policy: establishing the Peace Corps, the Alliance for Progress in Latin America, and the Treaty Banning Nuclear Testing in the Atmosphere. His handling of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 received mixed reviews: some praised the result that avoided nuclear war, others criticized Kennedy for "brinkmanship."On domestic matters, Kennedy offered programs for significant reform in many areas, but he was unable to negotiate them through the Democratic Congress.
They were either killed or not acted upon. On the civil rights crisis, Kennedy initially asked Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to cancel the 1963 March on Washington but acquiesced when it became inevitable. The Kennedy agenda was adopted by Congress under the leadership of his successor, Lyndon Johnson, who was an experienced manager and negotiator, who knew how to promote, threaten, swap and deal.
Now the powerful Kennedy family has endorsed Barack Obama for president because of his similarity in person, style, and the level of experience to the martyred president. Caroline Kennedy has written that "Obama would be a president like my father." Edward M. Kennedy, Ethel Kennedy, and Ted Sorensen agree with her.
If Obama wins the Democratic nomination and then the presidency, we would hope for his success in managing this complicated country of 300 million people with so many competing interests and negotiating with other nations to protect U.S. interests. In so many ways, Obama does remind of Kennedy; appearance, charisma, eloquence, poise and the emphasis on inspiration, but especially in his lack of executive experience. There is no guarantee that any of the presidential candidates of either party will be able to inspire, lead and manage. Of these abilities the most important is to manage and the career of charismatic John F. Kennedy proves the point. Revisiting JFK by Jerome Grossman
I'm telling you this is very prophetic and I know the powers that are really behind Bush and the Republicans will not allow a Black President or another JFK that will bind us together. Remember what happened then, It will happen again. knowing that, I received an Email last night from a friend in Australia with a comment. This blew me away as like you I never even thought about it. As we always say today with this misadministration if you want to hear the truth you have to go outside the Country and MSM. In this case it was England.
From Amphibious the cartoon: This is from my favorite political cartoonist, Steve Bell of the British GUARDIAN - known to its readers as the GRAUNIAD for its constant typos, even in the long lost days when newspapers had sub editors and literate journalists. He drew it after the Iowa win and surely it is everyone's fear? In a country awash with weapons, it struck me as passing strange that Lennon was blown away with a .45 but Raygun was only pinged with a 22. I can't believe I never even thought in those terms but think about it!
** With Obama this is too good, it is too much, it is too prophetic! I absolutely expect an attempt on his life if it looks like he will be elected. Whoever the powers are behind Bush, the right, and who is really behind who is elected, will not allow a President that will unite us and drive us away from their endorsed agenda. they have gained too much ground behind Bush! His assassination would be just one of the excuses that may be caused by Bush's interests but it would give Bush his chance to curtail elections due to great revolt by the masses and declare martial law keeping him at the helm of his new (dis)order Forever wars!
