JFK-Obama oddities: cover of LIFE, the number 44, perhaps conception itself
Barack Obama will be the first president born after the midpoint of the 20th Century (Clinton and Bush both were born in 1946).
It is only fitting that he is a "Kennedy baby."

2. We didn't do too bad.
We raised children and grandchildren who voted to turn this mess around.

Also, many of us did our part to overcome Jim Crow. We also ended an illegal war.

3. Let's hope Obama can rekindle the hopes and dreams of America...
...I think he can. But enough with the Republican appointments already!

4. My understanding that he was born nine months to the day after
the 1960 election. Meaning his parents may have been celebrating JFK's election on the night that he was conceived. LOL!
