Does Obama herald the return of Camelot?
One American political dynasty has decided against siding with another: Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, daughter of President John F. Kennedy, endorsed Barack Obama for president in the New York Times today. Her uncle, Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, is set to follow suit.
The former first daughter says Obama is the only presidential candidate most capable of carrying on the legacy of her late father. Caroline Kennedy's endorsement is a key one for Obama, whose camp has sought to portray him as a worthy heir to the former president's "Camelot" image.
Is Obama the "next" JFK? Does his candidacy, with its emphasis on change and national unity, represent a return to the idealism of the Kennedy era? Or is there less to the JFK comparison than meets the eye?

Spamalot? Yes, really

The Camelot myth has more to do with Kennedy's assassination than anything else, by far. JFK’s tragic and senseless death was a strike at America itself, a wound we all shared, and in our tears we washed away all of the man’s personal and political flaws. Left behind in the public's consciousness were his wife's glamour, his inspirational inaugural speech, and film of touch football games that displayed his legendary "vigah.” These are images of the man we wanted him to be: The benevolent ruler of Camelot – the ‘60s version of “The People’s Princess.”
One need only to see how LBJ's career limped to an ignominious end to see where JFK would have likely ended up in the eyes of history if he had survived to serve two terms.
Really?

Anyway, you can't really blame people for looking for somebody Kennedyesque. He was the last president that remains popular in the hearts of people from both parties, by and large. Reagan came close, but he remains a divisive figure for some people the way John Kennedy doesn't. I don't know if that's a function of their respective presidencies so much as it's a function of changing media exposure and the oppo-research branches of both parties. I'm not sure anybody can emerge from a campaign for the presidency -- or the presidency itself -- well-liked by a broad section of both parties.
Camelot? Spamalot, more like
Submitted on January 27th, 2008 by BenThis seems like a quadrennial phenomenon. The hope of recapturing the magic of John F. Kennedy is almost as debilitating -- and certainly longer lived -- as the Republicans' forlorn hope for a new Reagan.
I observed the Kennedy nostalgia up close at personal at the Democratic National Convention in 2000. (I linked to the piece I wrote about it, above.) The scene wasn't inspirational so much as creepy.
Americans would do well to understand how much of Kennedy's short administration is shrouded in the fog of myth (thanks, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Theodore Sorensen!). Camelot never existed. Saddling Obama with an impossible burden of mythology might warm the hearts of Democrats longing for better days, but it would be harmful to the country -- especially a country that faces real challenges in the present.
