JFk was not an effective President. But he WAS an American Patriot. He was a war hero who fought for this country.
How that ponderous piece of crap Teddy could have done what he did, knowing how his brother would have felt about him is beyond me.
JFK was the only Kennedy worth anything.
Indeed...if you go back and look at polling at the time, it was no sure thing that he would be re-elected.
But fate ended that question. FWIW, my dad agrees with you that JFK was the cream of that particular crop.
Nope. His older brother Joe was killed in WW II and never had a chance to pollute the political scene.
