Regardless of Rubio's attempts to compare himself favorably with JFK, I'm simply pointing out his lack of composure as compared with either JFK or Obama.
And here's an easy prediction, the more Rubio tries to 'wrap' the aura of JFK around him, the more people will point out the salient differences between the two men, OR point out unfavorable similarities. As in this CONSERVATIVE piece:

Rubio wants to emphasize his youth and his foreign policy views as the reason why he should be president, but Kennedy’s presidency is a stark warning not to take a chance on an inexperienced hawkish senator. Inviting comparisons with Kennedy can’t possibly help Rubio, since he will either be found less impressive than Kennedy or he will draw attention to his own weaknesses as a candidate.
The references to Kennedy are revealing in that they confirm that Rubio remains locked into a view of the U.S. role in the world that hasn’t made sense since the Cold War ended. Rubio opened his speech at the Council on Foreign Relations with an extended quote from Kennedy’s final speech, which was intended to highlight the bipartisan heritage of the bad foreign policy thinking that Rubio was about to demonstrate.
The New Frontier is saddled with the baggage of the disaster in Vietnam just as talk of a “new American century” is unavoidably linked with the Iraq war that its supporters championed, so it is fitting that Rubio would mention them together. While he may not be intending to do this, his invocations of Kennedy remind us that Rubio’s aggressive and ambitious foreign policy views, like Kennedy’s, are very dangerous and ought to be rejected.
I HOPE he keeps it up. I enjoy seeing him draw fire from liberals AND conservatives!
