I expected that Obama would meet the same fate as the 3 mentioned, only sooner. But he's a crafty one. Indeed he got by by being the affirmative action token who appealed to the black, Hispanic and liberal vote and accommodation. That's what community organizers do. And lawyers plea bargain be it in criminal or civil matters. Instead of carrying out 1% of what he promised, he chose life and re-election rather than principle. The three men mentioned would not have done that. The 3 men mentioned were of the Great War generation. They knew what principle was, what conviction was (*JFK wrote Profiles in Courage*). If offered a choice beforehand, each would, IMO, have chosen to give up his live. The Kennedy's, if they had been told what would follow their demise would have had a different idea about giving up their lives for principle. Seeing that they'd be dying so what they were most against would win out. Well, kind of. JFK's death got the Great Society. But it also got the Vietnam disaster. These are days where it's not principle. It's way beyond the ME Generation. And of course what party operative from Chicago ever had principles?
