One thing about Barrack, and most Americans see in him as well, is in the lines of the young Senator from Massachussets who became the lone voice of change in the country, running against cynicism, running against the secrecy of the system and his lone fight against democratic principles and norms. It was more than 45 years ago that JFK got elected and I can tell with full certainty that Senator Obama is no Jack Kennedy.

Agreed that he has the same oratory skill as JFK, but JFK was already 11 years as a Congressman and 2 years as a Senator. He was a seasoned politician before he threw his hat in the ring. 

People donot need false hopes and empty rhetorics. Yes, people are hungy for change, but change what? What exactly is the message? People have already had enough hope, promises of hope and empty rhetorics. He needs to be much more specific than that to win the general election and he has a long way to go before he can come anywhere close to JFK.
