John was the last Senator to be elected president. (This year that will end.)

Greggl61- yeah americans really dont know what its like to be in a world war. I don't think obama would be catastrophically bad... but i'm not too partial about the any of the candidates.. and just out of curiosity, when you mean "experienced man" do you also mean "experienced women" like Hillary? (I'm not saying i support her either, i just consider her as having experience)

The shit you've been through?Exactly what "shit" have we been through? This present generation has no concept of what being in a World War is like.We don't ration gas,food or provisions like 60 years ago.You speak of Al Qaeda like they are a figment of the imagination.Not worried about them?That very attitude is what scares me.I pray an experienced man gets the job and Obama ain't him.I don't "piss match" on here either so writing back to lecture me will be deleted before I read it. Good day.

I mean this in no disrespect to John Kennedy. But I've "done enough" for this country and payed all my High taxes over the years to help build schools and hospitals in Iraq. In all my work places, I have not seen the high paying CEOs, making millions, do anything for this country while I got laid off. It's always the poor getting screwed over. It's time we turn that statement around. What can my country do for me? instead of taking all my money and screwing me over, time and time again.

APPLAUSE TO THE LAST COMMENT

we are again where we were in 1960 - a new socio-political threshold, with the promise of a REAL "New Frontier"-style Leader. are we going to let tired old Washington drones scare us into believing something ridiculous about how we need their "experience" to keep this suspiciously shadowy Al Qaeda from destroying and taking over the United States? after the sh** we've been through for 8 years? are you kidding me?
