If you weren’t there you will never understand the spirit of Freedom, the energy, the unfettered optimism that existed in the Free World during the Eisenhower/Kennedy years.
Even the assassination didn’t dim that spirit all that much. It was LBJ and the Viet Nam War that began the slide -that eventually became an avalanche post Ronald Reagan.
The Bushes and Obama will go down in history as the worst Presidents in American History.
Perhaps that’s why JFK retains such a powerful influence even today.
He seems to represent some sort of point after which “everything went to hell” in the US.
JMO, but too many people view life in the US as the glass half empty rather than the glass half full.
I’ll still thank Bush II for his comfort after 9/11.
