Elderly British writer looks into past, finds Obama and his youth

For many people as they age, the days of their youth look better and better, which distorts their view of the present.

Such is the case this evening with William Rees-Mogg, a columnist with The Times of London, with another old and tired comparision between Barack Obama and John F. Kennedy.

Rees-Mogg makes a whole bunch of sentimental comparisions between the two men, but somehow leaves out Obama's and Kennedy's ties to Chicago's corrupt political culture.
