I have found this disingenuous from the beginning. His message over and over is 'change', clearly aimed at Hillary being Hillary CLINTON, ie: just say no to dynasty ....as people like to say....

I also think it disrespectful, unbecoming and arrogant that he continually compares himself to JFK, MLK, FDR.

FDR believed in mandates; government to serve the people, such as Social Security, or universal health care!

JFK was a thoughtful and experienced leader, who was quite clear about what he stood for and wanted to do, where Obama is vague.


Neither does it make him sound like a strong leader when he does this. He doesn't come across as someone who stands on their own when making such comparisons, or uttering phrases like "Ted Kennedy says I'll have universal health care" (or something extremely close to this, I don't have a transcript. It's just burned into my memory).


Ted Kennedy says so? Well, it must be true! The claim that his plan will somehow be universal has never been answered, and is false, as noted by EVERY analysis I've read. He admittedly doesn't cover everyone, so how exactly is it universal?

This is an example where his words are just WORDS.
