I liked JFK as a pres, with a couple of exceptions, but hey same today. Liked his zealot brother when he went after Hoover and the mafia. I thought that took some balls, since DC had ignored them up to that point. Of course I liked the mafia and hated Hoover.
They even went against their father's interest, but he stroked out and couldn't tell them about it.
These guys had charisma. Of course that can be dangerous if the substance isn't there ala Willie Jeff.

Well if you liked the mafia, I can see why you like the Kennedys, a family whose fortune was made from importing illegal booze, bought the presidency with a mafia deal, then had one dumb ass, Booby, break his deal with the mafia and thereby signed his brother's death warrant,

Sounds like an opinion formed from cheap novels and afternoon movies.
