Drawing the comparison

Senator Obama discussed the Clinton campaign on ABC:

I find the manner in which they’ve been running their campaign sort of depressing, lately. It was interesting in the debate, Sen. Clinton saying “don’t feed the American people false hopes.” Get a reality check, you know? I mean, you can picture JFK saying, “we can’t go to the moon, it’s a false hope.” Let’s get a reality check. It’s not, sort of, I think, what our tradition has been.

2008. The New New Frontier. From the signs we’ve seen in the media to date, we can expect a lot more of this, particularly in a post-Hillary environment, in the unlikely event that should happen. Speaking of a hypothetical post-Hillary environment in the minds of the media, Roger Simon at the Politico adds this about two rallies he attended:

Obama said things like: “We are one nation; we are one people; and our time for change has come.” Clinton said things like: “I founded in the Senate the Bipartisan Manufacturing Caucus.”

Ouch.
