JFK's optimism was one of his best qualities.
His charisma and charm motivated Americans to be the best they could be. He was a skilled politician, strategist and tactician. He kept a cool head under some very trying times. He had the ability to laugh at himself and the upsurd which as amazingly refreshing.
His selfish indulgence was his worst characteristic, something people were able to overlook because of his fatalistic outlook. He lived with the knowledge that he could die anyday and he was close to death on many occasions due to his Addison's disease.

I admired him most for his sense of humor and his ability to speak to an audience. What a change from Eisenhower!! I least admire him for getting us involved in Vietnam and for his involvement with the Rat Pack (Sinatra et al.). He was far frombeing the "saint" that Cardinal Cushing tried to make him. In fairness, though, it was Kennedy money that kept the good old cardinal well taken care of for years.
Chow!!

he was a pretty horrible leader, probably one of the worst presidents ever...............he authorized that incredibly stupid bay of pigs invasion of cuba
he got the united states into a war in vietnam which was the dumbest thing any president ever did
he almost got the entire nation nuked during the cuban missle crisis
he only got elected because his father (a former mobster) used his gangland ties to fix the election in chicago
as a young man he had an affair with a russian spy and god knows what intell he leaked
there is a lot of evidence that he was involved in the death of marilyn monre......its common knowledge he had an affair with her............his brother in law was the first on the scene after marilyn "killed herself"
Kennedy was a terrible womanizer........his own wife couldnt trust him one tiny bit
