Because Obama is a charismatic leader who appeals to Calm. Resolve and Reason in the face of a National Crisis--just like those guys were.

"The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear itself"--FDR

Words to live by and to restore National Greatness and the American Way by.

To get him elected.

Just forging his place in History as a great American President.

You're kidding right ? JFK was a WWII war hero, then over 20 years in Congress before he was elected. FDR was a huge liberal but not a socialist. And Lincoln...puuuleeez ! The man who kept the country together after the Civil War.....the man who freed slaves....the man who fought against the Dem Party and their creation of the KKK ? Obama is compared more realistically to Jimmy Carter, a clueless liberal whose policies wrecked the US economy and gave us long gas lines.

couldn't say. he sure isn't john kennedy.that's a terrible insult to john.Now ted kennedy maybe.Ive never hear anyone compare him to kennedy. but joe did watch fdr on tv.
maybe thats the connection.
maybe he compares himself to lincoln about the slavery thing don't know.

you know the reason

He reminds me very much of Kennedy -- the ability and erudition, the optimism and ability to inspire, the cool strength that never devolves to bullying or swaggering.

He is nothing like them in any way shape or form. He is more of a Demonic Version of Jimmy Carter if you want my opinion.

JFK, and FDR were great Democrats, true leaders, and they understood all aspects of the Nation, and if they didn't understand they made damn well sure they were open minded to listening to the other side that did.

FDR , JFK, Reagan and Lincoln are the 4 best Presidents we have ever had. Obama isn't worthy to spit shine they're shoes!

There are no Great Democrats left except Joe Lieberman. All Democrats have morphed into this disgusting thing called "Liberals". And most Great Republicans are gone as well, they have morphed into another bad thing called Conservatives.

Obama is garbage! He is a liar and it has been proven, however his blind followers continue to not see it even when it presented to them in black and white.

Because he has a vision for the future of America that will progress the enlightenment of humanity.
