Obama Might Repeat Kennedy’s Fate
The fears that Barack Obama might repeat John Kennedy’s fate as the U.S. president have existed since the very nomination of Obama, said Sergei Rogov, director of the Institute for the USA and Canada Studies.
In January of 1961, John Fitzgerald Kennedy became the youngest president in the U.S. history. A sniper shot him dead in Dallas November 22, 1963. The killers haven’t been found so far.
Asked to comment on the possibility of repeating Kennedy’s fate by Obama, Rogov said “such apprehension has existed since the very nomination of his candidacy.”
“John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King… America has tradition of political murders,” Rogov went on. “Obama provokes different emotion. Anything might happen,” the official said without explicitly predicting what exactly might happen to the president-elect.
“I have the feeling that, nowadays, here, and in America, and worldwide, they have learnt to guard political leaders,” Rogov pointed out.
