The US Space program JFK promoted landed a man on the moon on time and within the stated budget. The technology that came from the space program improved virtually every electronic device in existence and created new ones that were never even thought of. You won't land a man on the moon using vacuum tubes. The largest Personal Income tax tax in history created one of the largest economic booms in US history. He prevented a war in Laos, was withdrawing the small number of advisors in Vietnam. He defused the threat of nuclear war over Berlin and Cuba. And he introduced the Civil rights Act. Sure, Bythebay, JFK was an awful President. That was a good one and you are a joke.

I think everybody should be using Romney's actual first name, Willard. It is so easy to remember by association with the movie.

What JFK did during his nearly 3 year Presidency certainly shows he was not a good Preaident at all. Additionally, the myth of Camelot hid his adultery.

May I ask what Obama's religion is? With regard to JFK he was not President long enough for us to know whether he was a great President or not. He was a charamatic figure and the way he died was very sad. BTW I am going to read Obama's book Dreams of my Father when I can borrow it from the Library. It should be an enligtening read.

Mitzy may not want to push too heavily on the he's like JFK. JFK started the Viet Nam War, did nothing about Civil Rights, orchestrated the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and stood by while the Berlin War was built. JFK was bullied by Khruschev, orchestrated the assassination of the leader of the Dominican Republic, and backed the Ramadan Revolution in Iraq, yes, Iraq. He was no President or person to be emulated.

At BYU, he graduated with highest honors and gave a speech at graduation. He got accepted to a recently created dual-degree program in law and business at Harvard.
Of hundreds of Romney's law and business school classmates at Harvard, just 15 earned the dual degree — which packed courses required for the two degrees into less time than earning them separately. Romney didn't just earn the degree. He graduated with honors from the law school and in the top 5 percent of his class in the business school, according to The Real Romney.
His mere presence among the elite MBA/JD earners got him heavily recruited by Boston Consulting Group. So while he passed the Michigan bar in case he needed to go back to his dad's state to work near the car industry, it wouldn't be necessary.
--just a little back ground, where are Obama's school records?

A liberal is a liberal is a liberal -typically (with some exceptions)jealous of a self made person in the US-Seeing a lot of liberal comments here-I'm betting not many ever had to make payroll,file corp taxes,hire from groups with a work ethic totally diluted by our welfare system.

So Mitzy thinks he's like Democrat Presidents. He obviously has identity issues and delusions. Romney couldn't even govern the State of Massachusetts well.

"The Book of Mormon was published in 1830 by church founder Joseph Smith, who claimed the manuscript came from his translation of an ancient "reformed Egyptian" text engraved on golden plates he found buried, with the guidance of an angel, in a stone box near his home in New York state."
And thus began this fake religion, now called "The Church of Latter Day Saints."
Any religion in its beginning that claims that a certain ethnic group of the Human Family is not accepted by G-D and will not even be accepted in Heaven is not a valid religion.
G-D is the Creator of everything and everyone. Despite what many have been deceived into believing, HE doesn't have a favourite ethnic group. Obeying HIS commands and living a righteous life is what HE want from us and whichever ethnic group we belong to makes no difference to HIM.
They claimed that G-D had revealed to their 'all Caucasian leaders" in the 1970s that HE would start accepting people of (recent) African descent into Heaven. So the Mormons started from that time to accept non Caucasian people into their fake religion (for political and financial reasons).
But, many Americans are now ready to pick a member of this fake, cult religion to become president of the United States of America because of their dislike of Pres Obama.

Romney was not my first choice but anybody would be better than Obama. If a person has worked hard and has made lots of money does not bother me. There will always be someone richer than I am and I am not going to let jealousy eat me up and ruin my life. What I chose to do with my life did not lead to earning a lot of money and I am happy with what I have.
Obama does not have the experience to lead this country and I hate to think of the damage he can do if he is elected for 4 more years.

It is of no concern how Romney obtained his money. At issue is he able to reverse Obama's Federal control on the American Economy and give the control back to Americans through private enterprise. It is Private Enterprise that has made America the richest nation in the world. Kennedy's, Rockefellers, and Roosevelts were lawyers and investment profiteers; their money was made from the work of others. Romney cannot benefit from comparing himself to Kennedy or Roosevelt.
