John Fitzgerald Kennedy the youngest US President elected to our government in History.
He was an aspiring young man who had many talents and tried to accomplish many things for the good of all, and fought for them as well. His beliefs were different than many as most times in government that is the case because politics is not to serve the public it is to negotiate an answer for profit for the expressed people in power in the government. Kennedy tried to govern this country with the thought of clean government but that was very difficult for him (being the son of a corrupt politician, Joseph, and a bootlegger during prohibition), because he was ridiculed for his birth right instead of thinking he was different, and he was much different. He felt the public should be served by its needs, and being rich he knew this very well. He could see clearly that the Black people were suffering and that the white (lower class in finance), were as well, for the whites were starved, and had no education either. So he fought for King to get the integration to force education for everyone. Because if the Blacks went to school with the whites why then not the so-called poor white trash as well? JFK was brilliant and for the Space program the Gemini project that he called it privately was named after his Astrological sign, even though he was Catholic he was very open minded about Science. He needed no one to tell him how to speak to his public, nor did he need them to write his speeches. He wrote his own as he wrote the world famous book "Profiles of Courage". He was the hero in WW2 aboard the PT boat. He is the reason that today we still have a fighting chance against the fascist, communists, etc., for he stood up to the Russians and backed them down from invading our country as well as Cuba. If you read in History alot points that it was a failure on his part the Bay of Pigs, but no it wasnt the Russians had invaded Cuba and they are only 50 miles from our coast of Florida if he did anything else we would have had a continuation of WW2 fought right here on this soil and we would have a Yellow Flag hanging instead of the Stars and Stripes. He was an exceptional man and his infidelities are a private issue because no man or woman is perfect in their sexual personal life, and truly it is not our business about anyone to meddle into someone's marriage or bedroom, unless they are a rapist, and he was not, no more than Clinton was. Those people are ridiculous that pry into your sex life or personal relations in that way, they are either perverts or they have an alterior motive for getting control based on the sensationalism of the public who have no life of their own. A gossiping bunch of biddies, and chicken hearted as well.

Young and inspiring... a great public speaker. He was a World War 2 hero, handsome, from a famous family with an equally attractive wife. He was the first of his generation (World War 2 vets) to become president.

JFK was horrible as a president. 2nd worst only a little better than FDR. Invasion of Pigs - bad idea!!!!! Inaugural address talking about the torch passing to a new generation of Americans and "we will fight any fight," bad thing to tell the Soviets after the Eisenhower administration (Eisenhower probably knew how to deal with the Soviets b/c he was the general that ordered the Normandy landings)
