It is quite interesting to read the reaction win of an “outsider” like Barack Obama at the Iowa Primary. Just read what Rep. Tom Cole (Okla.), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee said, " Obama believes he's a game-changer, but I don't believe the game has changed" He is dismissing Obama's transformational pledges as naïve and continues, "It's captivating. It's intoxicating, but it's not going to last."
Americans had a similar reaction when J.F.K was elected. Most Americans were worried because J.F.K was young, inexperienced and full of idealism. Now there is again the chance to elect a person who has similar qualities as J.F.K. had. Shouldn’t we give him a chance rather than continuing the area of Bushism?
I think we should try to believe what Obama said Saturday night. "I think the American people are hungry for something different {and American people are hungry} and can be mobilized around big changes {all Americans want and need change}, not incremental changes, not small changes. I think that there are a whole host of Republicans, and certainly independents, who have lost trust in their government {not only Republicans but the whole world}, who don't believe anybody is listening to them, who are staggering under rising costs of health care, college education, don't believe what politicians say {it is hard to believe after a president like J.W. Bush}. And we can draw those independents and some Republicans into a working coalition, a working majority for change."
J.F.K (John Fitzgerald Kennedy), the thirty-fifth President of the United States, who served from 1961 until he was assassinated in 1963, was also seen as naïve and full of idealism.
