The Kennedy of Obama
Nobody Wins: We all remember the horror of that black and white picture…Robert Kennedy laying on the floor, the blank stare on his face--- the blood by his head.
Today was the anniversary of Robert Kennedy’s assassination on June 5, 1968, and here it is so many years later and yet---what do we know about it?
Not much.
And why is that? Was it because it was a Jew-hating Muslim that killed him instead of a white guy who looked like your normal everyday criminal? Was it because, like many believe, he was actually killed by the CIA because like his brother and Martin Luther King he wanted the Vietnam War to end?
While hundreds of books have been written about JFK’s assassination, there has not been much speculation about Robert’s murder in the media. Was it because he wasn’t as important as JFK? Was it because too many citizens might start wanting the answer to just who and just why two members of the Kennedy family were boldly shot?
Okay, just who did the Kennedy family piss off? And was it our own government who had them killed?
Well, sorry you nobodys of America, you are not allowed classified information. Information that would probably make you actually think our government has gotten just a bit too big for comfort.
Doesn’t the fact that it is not talked about much tell you something?
One thing we do know is that the Kennedy family was smart enough to take those horrible family tragedies and use them in a continuous media yearly bombardment on our emotions to keep the family entrenched forever at the top of the political power structure.
And in this light, Ted Kennedy’s recent brain tumor, though extremely sad for him and his family, couldn’t have come at a better time for Obama. All Ted will have to do is limp onto Obama’s stage, and angels will sing. Obama will be a sure thing.
(I’m hoping Ted hands Obama a set of car keys, but don’t mind me.)
Remember that adorable picture of little John saluting his father’s coffin? We all thought it was Jackie who coached him, when actually it was Ted and the rest of the family, making the kid practice for hours…so the photo-op would be perfect.
I don’t know about you, but I find something very creepy about that fact.
The Kennedy camelot dynasty had to be preserved because let’s face it; they have a lot of mouths to feed. I mean, it’s not as if they have any other occupations to fall back on, is it?
The moment Senator Ted Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy came out for Obama to carry on the Kennedy legacy, Hillary was practically doomed. I actually think this hurt her more than Bill’s daily blunders, or Obama’s incredible speech reading abilities.
Being consummate politicians, the Kennedy’s saw an excellent opportunity to resurrect their images, and therefore their fortunes…and their family fantasy of the Kennedy’s family always fighting for the little guy.
Sure, they will fight, as long as that little guy stays on his side of the tracks.
Obama’s no fool. Like a good Kennedy he knows the win/win situation here, because he can attach himself to the already established propaganda that a liberal like JFK could do no wrong, even if history showed he didn’t do much right but marry Jackie.
While liberal historians will tell you JFK was a real tiger facing the Soviet Union down, not all remember it that way. A lot of people who lived through the times were pretty mad while they were digging big holes in their backyards.
JFK was also the man who started sending “advisors” over to Vietnam.
And that line---“Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”
I always hated that line. As if we don’t do enough for our “country.” As if our ancestors, sons, fathers and brothers have not given enough lives. As if all the taxes they force us to pay ---trillions wasted, not accounted for…for what?
Our country was founded on, “We the People” not “We the Politicians.”
So, what will be Obama legacy should he win the Presidency? What will be his “Bay of Pigs?” Do we need to start digging again?
Or will, like Hillary hint…something happen?
Obama may want to be in the Kennedy family, but all of us are thinking, although no one is saying…make Hillary VP? Are you crazy?
The country has enough problems.
