Obama is a bit like Kennedy

[Tiggeroshii]

He's charismatic, new, influential and a rising star among the Democratic party. Like Kennedy, he is not liked by the progressive wing of the Democratic party, if you've read "A thousand Days," you'll see that Progressives were outraged not seeing Stevenson get the Democratic nomination for a third time. Kennedy served very little time in the US Senate before running for president for the first time, Obama may be the same. He is like Kennedy in the respect that while he has served very little time in Congress, he may still make a highly productive, influential and effective president for the United States.
