Or, failing that, if only they could die as quickly as he did.
(Apologies for the inappropriate humour, I was deeply moved by his lecture and even more so by his passing away. On behalf of ACs all over the internet, I wish him much success in the great lecture hall in the sky.)

Which would mean all our politicians will be Jeffersons, JFKs or Obama's. We'd never get a Franklin or a Regan.

Jefferon, JFKs or Obama
When Obama drafts the Declaration of Independence, in doing so works to win a war against a power many times in economic and military strength, doubles the size of the United States, I'd then put him in the same category as Jefferson.
When Obama sleeps with the equivalent of Marylin Munroe, then I'd put him in the same category as Kennedy.

I'm only a little upset that the moderator apparently had no idea I was being sarcastic. The worst kind of sarcasm: failed.
