affability to do what this one does. Not to mention a very good brain. He can draw one in with just a smile.

in intellect, charisma, charm, and admiration from much of the nation.

I was a young non-voter age kid living in a solid Republican town when Kennedy was around, and I personally think that Obama has done more, (he has also lived longer in office, too, as Kennedy was killed in Nov of his 3'rd year). My memory of Kennedy is somewhat biased by my age and home town, but he stands out as the only serious rival to Obama in qualities I mentioned above.

Kennedy's most major moment in history might well be the Cuban missile crisis, Obama's, so far, may be the death of Bin Laden, or maybe Affordable Health Care, conclusion of the war in Iraq, or perhaps his many other moments when he shined in the face of tragedy.

Obama will be deservedly one of our great Presidents of history, I'm sure of this.

All of those smiles. It reminds me of the day in 2008 I saw this picture of him and that was it for me.
