11. Do they even KNOW that JFK made Bernie want to puke? Literally?

SANDERS: President Kennedy was elected while I was at the University of Chicago, that was 1960. I remember being physically nauseated by his speech and that doesn't happen very often.....Kennedy was young and appealing and ostensibly liberal, but I think at that point, seeing through Kennedy, and what liberalism was, was probably a significant step for me to understand that conventional politics or liberalism was not what was relevant.

I think of that moving tribute to liberalism that Kennedy once gave and I identify with it strongly. But Bernie says he saw through all that. Hah!

I wonder if, while he trys to co-opt FDR's successes, anyone ever points out how incomplete SS was initially. Few were covered but in that incremental process with which our govt was designed to work, it was broadened and improved. You know, progressively -a term that can be used interchangeably with incrementalism. That is exactly the way the ACA will be expanded.
