JFK was a flawed human being and a mediocre president. But he wasn’t nearly as bad as the one we have now.
Assassin’s bullets have a habit of over-hyping their recipient’s historical reputations. JFK was a mediocre president, MLK was a quasi-communist and serial adulter, which you won’t hear much about these days.
I bet if that assassination attempt against Hitler had succeeded in 1944, he would have enjoyed a much higher reputation than he has today after committing a squalid act of suicide in his bunker...
The author is flawed. JFK delivered his inaugural speech on a cold day in 1961! NOT 1960. He was still running for POTUS in 1960.
