A CNN/ORC International survey released Friday indicates that 90% of all Americans approve of how Kennedy handled his job as President. No other President of the last half century even comes close.

Second place belongs to Ronald Reagan, with a 78% retrospective approval rating, followed by Bill Clinton with 74%. Richard Nixon, Kennedy's 1960 rival and the only president ever forced to resign, is at the bottom with only 31% approving of his track record from 1969 to 1974. Only George W. Bush, with a 42% retrospective approval rating, is also under 50%.

"History has generally been kind to ex-presidents, but none more so than Kennedy. His approval rating in November of 1963 was 58%. In the 1990s, that number rose to 78% and rose even further in later years," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

90% approval? Disgusting. But given the number of CONSERVATIVE FREEPERS that also buy into this ridiculous mythology it’s hardly surprising.

The JFK that 90% of Americans think existed is no more real than The Doctor of “Doctor Who” who(m?) is also having a 50th anniversary party.

The lovefest is just inescapable. Watching ESPN yesterday I got to listen to morons Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith practically give Kennedy a Lewinsky, they were supposed to be talking about how the NFL commish at the time didn’t cancel the coming Sunday’s football games but Smith went off script.

The ignorant Smith (a Black man and self described independent who sometimes criticizes rats but also repeats leftist probama nonsense) waxed that Barry Goldwater was an “opponent of civil rights” and lavished praise on Kennedy and racist political opportunist Lyndon Johnson. To his credit he also mentioned that Republicans passed the Civil Rights act through Congress.

Bayless (the brother of celebrity chef Rick Bayless) is clearly a moonbat with massive White guilt and huge man crushes on JFK and Obama.

ESPCN is a political station anymore, which is why I’ve cut back on watching them.
