Perhaps I am classless, crass, just plain old mean, whatever anybody wants to throw at me is fine, but I was not impressed much by the JFK Administration at all. I thought he was a lousey President whom made very good speeches.
Sure he cut taxes, great...
His assassination to this day is upsetting and terribly sad to me and my wife. We both remember the day, the shock, the anger, the overwhelming grief.
His wasn’t all that great a Presidency, just one that stands out in history due charisma and assassination.
I wasn't either, but if JFK were running against either of the two assclowns we have now I would vote for him in heartbeat.
I agree with you. People confuse popularity with greatness. He was popular not great. Could have been though.
