5. Yeah, I don't care for that either.

A bit too gooey, mushy and, well, as a Kennedy admirer, it just doesn't sound right.

The Kennedy family is what it was, it is not some kind of transferable commodity.

Let Barack be Barack ... and let Teddy rest in peace.

7. Not to mention that Obama's accomplishments as an elected leader are miniscule at this point

and the long-term effects of whatever accomplishments he may achieve won't be known for years.

It's pretty close to Clinton having been referred to as the first black president when he was elected.

8. That's actually creepy and shows a really bent take on Obama. And the expectations unfairly

placed on him. Where's Obama's progressive track record? He's no Bobby or Teddy. Not yet.

10. Good God.

Obama is not a lion. He is definitely no "liberal lion." More like Templeton the rat.

He's no JFK or RFK, either.

That just offends me.

Let Obama create his own legacy.
