The article you offer is well considered.
I was a child in 1961 but remember it well enough. JFK was as much a creation as obarry is, more of a philanderer than clintoon is. He was also a very reluctant president I think. He was created by his father. It was Joe who was to be president but he was killed in a a B-24 loaded with explosives.
The kennedy’s used the white house for their personal camelot just as much at the obarry’s but were much more tasteful about it.
I wonder if all politicians are not creations of their own minds or some other opportunist.
Admiral Burke said to President Kennedy:
“The history never questions the winners; but always blame the losers”.
