The CAMELOT fraud wasn't pushed until a few years AFTER the assassination and was thought up by Jackie, pushed upon E.B. White, who then orchestrated the drooling sycophantic MSM to carry it forth. And this was at a time, when Jackie and Bobby were having a torrid affair. Which I have an eyewitness for, to substantiate that fact.
And what the revisionist history has left out for 40+ years, is that JFK's presidency was just one mess after another. Even the UNIONS couldn't stand him and made him cave in to the myriad of strikes they pulled, all through his presidency.
Besides one tax cut, there wasn't a damned thing right he and his team did. "THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST" turned out to be nothing but bumbling idiots, traitors, frauds, whore mongers, drug addicts, and morons.
he did appoint Whizzer White to the Supreme Court, so that was one good thing.
It really got pushed and named AFTER the assassination, okay.
But I do remember Vaughn Meador's comedy album, The First Family. Though the Kennedy White House let him know that they would not appreciate any more such things it did kind of project a "camelot." IMO.
I say again. Kennedy was telegenic at a time when TV really mattered for the first time. Being telegenic is the only thnig that made him popular beyond the partisan crowd. Period. He was as you described.
I've got to mention Barry Goldwater. Yes, sometimes he did not help his cause. He spoke openly and frank. IMO Americans liked that in those days. As usual the MSM did not.
Having the likes of Walter "North Viet Nam Communists' most trusted American" Cronkite trying to tie Goldwater to the Kennedy assassination and other distortions by the MSM did not help either.
Really now?! Sequestered on what planet?
