JFK benefitted from the same thing Obama did: an adulatory and completely uncritical press. In reality he was an incompetent drug addict (methamphetamine) who was constantly unfaithful to Jackie.
Absolutely. In essence, he was a con.
“who was constantly unfaithful to Jackie.”
Jackie had her own issues with perfidy. I met a woman in the ‘60s who was a maid for Kennedys’ friend/neighbors at the Palm Beach home. She was a member of my uncle’s church in WPB. Lots went on that never was reported.
