...."Natural leaders don’t come around very often. Look over the list of American presidents at whitehouse.gov, and you’ll see how rare a remarkable, iconic president is. Voters in the remaining primaries have the chance right now to show that we do have “a sense of history...”

...Senator Specter appeared on the Charlie Rose show last week. Asked if Obama reminded him of JFK, he said, almost reluctantly, in a low voice, “I think he could be better.”"

5. I can't imagine

When I saw Specter and JFK - that was the first thing that came to mind.

I don't really know how to process his comments.

I take it as a compliment to Senator Obama, but how much of a compliment i don't know.

4. Yup. Specter came up with that doozy.
