Obama is not a Kennedy

He would never say anything like

"Finally, I want to say a few words to the captive people of Cuba, to whom this speech is being directly carried by special radio facilities. I speak to you as a friend, as one who knows of your deep attachment to your fatherland, as one who shares your aspirations for liberty and justice for all. And I have watched and the American people have watched with deep sorrow how your nationalist revolution was betrayed- and how your fatherland fell under foreign domination. Now your leaders are no longer Cuban leaders inspired by Cuban ideals. They are puppets and agents of an international conspiracy which has turned Cuba against your friends and neighbors in the Americas-and turned it into the first Latin American country to become a target for nuclear war-the first Latin American country to have these weapons on its soil."

because he is an enormous pussy.

Did you read what Kennedy said? Maybe some time ago, like during vietnam, it was refreshing to hear someone criticise the US's actions, but now it's refreshing to hear someone stand up for the US even if it was by someone 45 years ago.

"Now your leaders are no longer Cuban leaders inspired by Cuban ideals. They are puppets and agents of an international conspiracy which has turned Cuba against your friends and neighbors in the Americas-and turned it into the first Latin American country to become a target for nuclear war-the first Latin American country to have these weapons on its soil."

Kennedy was right and he was more concerned about his principles than getting votes from ranting paranoid idiots. Nowadays a democrat like Kennedy would get shouted at and lose popularity for saying something like this even more so than in the late 50s or early 60s and no democrat has the guts to do so.
