POLL: Do you think Barack Obama will be like John F. Kennedy?

Question

I mean do you think he will have many innovative ideas and also be assinsinated.

The last part I say because, IF Obama becomes president he will be the first Black person to do so. There are so many racist ignorant people out there that his life will be in danger from the time he takes his "Oath of Office".

Answer 1

You know, I would imagine that he would be just like JFK. And the part when you said his life will be in danger because he will be the first black president, is a true statement.

Answer 2

I don't think he will be very much like Kennedy in this sense: JFK would be considered a "conservative" by today's standards. Some would even say more so than John McCain.



JFK was a staunch anti-communist and a pretty decent tax cutter. That being said:



Barack Obama is a very intelligent man. Although he is much more liberal than I like, I am considering voting for him in the general election. I am a white republican.



I don't factor race anywhere into my decision to consider voting for him. I wouldn't care if he were PURPLE. He strikes me as an honest man with a true vision. And although I haven't voted for a Democrat in more than 10 years. I am considering Barack.



As for his possible assassination, you are right. There are still enough idiot racists in this country that it wouldn't surprise me if someone tried. It's sad too, I was really hoping that there wouldn't be any more room for racism in the 21st century.

Answer 3

Why do people keep saying that. I have heard many people say they think the same thing is going to happen. I hope the bay he takes his oath he has a big *** BBQ in the front lawn of the white house. Even if he does get assassinated vice president "Cousin Pookie" gonna take over. LOL i wonder who is vice president will be?

Answer 4

A majority of people can oftentimes situations be incorrect. A majority of our congressman and senators voted for the bailouts. A majority of people indoors united statesa. do no longer place self perception in evolution. A majority of people supported the policies that made interracial marriages unlawful. A majority of people supported 2/5ths of a vote for non-whites. A majority of people supported slavery. there have been many many situations in historic previous the placement that's sparkling to make specific that the final public isn't precise. Obama isn't a socialist, a minimal of no longer contained interior the unique utilization of the term. Obama has made no attempt to attain administration of any private industry, whose gross revenues are then used as government income. An party would desire to be if the government took over US oil wells, and then used gross revenues from merchandising the oil as income. This quite isn't taking place. Now, Obama does (and optimal people do, too) help the thought of having social classes - foodstuff stamps, public guidance, public wellbeing care, roads, etc. this does no longer make him socialist, whether.

Answer 5

i don't think he'll be assassinated because i don't think he'll become president in the first place. kudos to him for getting this far but mccain has this thing by a long shot.



if he were to become president, i think there's a chance of him being assassinated, but there's a chance that any president will be assassinated. do you know how many people hate george bush? unfortunately because there are so many racist people, he would probably have a bigger chance than a white president, which is really sad. but i don't think he'd actually be shot, security is tighter than ever.

Answer 6

I believe he will be our next President. I pray to God he is. Not JFK, but unique in his own way



And yes, he might be at high risk of being hurt. He will have to get exceptionally alert and ready bodyguards to shadow his every move.



I can't believe some people are such morons. After seeing how far one republican has flushed our nation down the sh*tter, WHY would you elect a man who intends on prolonging a senseless, useless, unnecessary war?



The time to bring our great nation out of the darkness has come and I believe that Barrack Obama will be the man to guide our nation into better times.

Answer 7

I would hope so. You never can truly tell. I just hope that he is like him in innovative ideas and not like him in getting shot. And people had better hope he doesn't get shot, racist or otherwise. If people start rioting over Rodney King getting beat, every city, town, village with a large black population will burn.

Answer 8

No, I don't think he will be like John F. Kennedy. Times are very different than 1963. They are very different men. As far as being assassinated, that is a terrible thought for ANY President to ponder happening to them.

Answer 9

Yea but you can't think of it like that...ALL the president have a chance of getting assassinated, all of them are put in danger as soon as they take their "Oath of Office", JUST because their are in that high of a position....I do think he will be a memorable, motivating president, though.....

But somehow...Only the good die young♥

Answer 10

I don't feel that he's comparable to JFK. However, if he does become president, I feel he'll do just fine. As for being assassinated, I certainly hope not.



(Not an Obama supporter now, but I do support the office and will support him if he is elected.)

Answer 11

Do you mean , do I think he will , bite the hand that got him in office (if he is elected), invade Cuba and call off air support, appoint his brother attorney general and let him make the mob mad, have an affair with a movie star,who in turn is connected to ppl that are CONNECTED?

No I don't.

Answer 12

Huh. No, I think the security might tighten a bit, but I don't think it's anything major. Personality-morals-ideas wise, he's not at all like Kennedy.

Answer 13

I think he will end up like Bobby Kennedy and be eliminated at the Democratic National Convention.

Answer 14

Kennedy fought in World War 2, Obama is not Kennedy.

Answer 15

I don't think he was be assisnsinated (well, he better not be)



but every president has a chance of being assinsinated, and every person has a chance of being murdered



there are alot of hateful people out there, and im hoping they don't act on it

Answer 16

No way, John Kennedy held his hand over his hear while saying the pledge of allegiance and wore American Flag Lapel pins.

Kennedy was a true American.

Answer 17

if he does win (fingers crossed) then i would assume protection on him would be greater than presidents in the past for the same reason you are asking. I dont think he will be assasinated, at least i hope not!

Answer 18

no...



society has advanced and there is bits of racism left, but hardly any. Theres just as much hate towards Clinton because she is female.



Either way, I don't think someone will be stupid enough to do so!!

Answer 19

He could have the same ideas as JFK, and he seems like he would be a great president, so let's hope that he doesn't get assassinated.

Answer 20

I agree with you! I hope he doesn't get assassinated, but it could happen. Also, he definitely would have great ideas and be a great president.



Vote for Obama, not Clinton!

Answer 21

I think he could be a great president like Kennedy was. It would be horrible if he were assinsinated, but you are right that there would definetly be a risk.

Answer 22

History has shown us that the most inovative have been in the same boat.Lincoln,Kennedy,Garfield.yes i said garfield he was very inovative for his time.

Answer 23

True. I hope he doesn't turn out like kennedy. We can all hope for the best for now.

Answer 24

He will not be president he will be a page in the history book of the man who Mccain beat

i admire him for getting this far he is african american and it is difficult to get past the racial barriers

Answer 25

His light will extinguish the life of anyone to attempts to hurt him. He's destined for greatness, he will bring change!

Answer 26

No, his brother isn't the Attorney General who pissed of the mob.

Answer 27

Yes I do, however, I dont think he will be assassinated... the security these days is amazingly tight.

Answer 28

You certainly are "Not Here!" Barack is a racist. Does that mean he will kill himself? Google, obamas racist church - when you finally get here!
