Old Democrat Not

From Mr. Ajami, a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the School of Advanced International Studies, The Johns Hopkins University. Some how I found this post.

"The warrior’s garb sits uneasily on Barack Obama’s shoulders: Mr. Obama seeks to reassure Americans that he and his supporters are heirs of Roosevelt and Kennedy;" Election américaine: Pour une Amérique américaine (McCain as the last defense against the Europeanization of America) « jcdurbant


The point to all Roosevelt and Kennedy democrats is that Obama is not of their generation. No matter how much he tries, Obama is not of the party they grew up with, believed in and loved from the 30's to early 60's.

When they go into the voting booth in November, is Obama the same man as Roosevelt or Kennedy? No I am not bringing race into it. I am bringing up their beliefs and party loyalty that the generation of Roosevelt and Kennedy stood for. The democrat party of today is not the party of the 30's to 60's. Obama does not talk and connect with the older voters of Roosevelt and Kennedy. He may be a great speaker but as to take a line from L Benson, you are no FDR or no JFK.

There is something we need to ask the 70 plus democrats that will be voting this November.

Race has nothing to do with beliefs.

To conservatives our beliefs are of no color, no party, no gender only our belief in God Almighty.

To democrats I ask, are their beliefs of no color, no party or of no gender or is it for the pure hatred for Bush, for money ( special interest ) or for ultimate power?

Again, the question, is Barack Obama the heir apparent to FDR or JFK.

Old or new democrats, I'm not sure, I am guessing not.

Something to think about.
