The biggest problem I have with the father and the son is that, because I never felt the magic and always considered both to be average people, the worship and adulation were annoying. If I had known them personally, I probably would have liked them. In fact, both seemed like nice, good, likeable people, and John Kennedy was not a bad president. However the adulation and worship exaggerated their positive qualities to the point of the ridiculous, and it became very irritating.
More importantly, it revealed a highly ridiculous quality about the adulators--a propensity for distorted perception that would prove dangerous for the entire United States, since the Kennedy magic, i.e. distorted perception, affected millions of Americans and this tendency to distort reality would cause millions of Americans to loose sight of some extremely important realities and thus make the world a much more dangerous place.
The Kennedy/Camelot "myth" was an early sign of a delusional system that would develop into something very dangerous.
Many people could see the danger even during the Kennedy administration, and their warnings fell on many deaf ears, ears that were deafened by the adulators' shouts of hosannahs.
The delusional system grew until the Kennedy "myth" had become only a small part of it, and it developed into the "Liberal" side of today's "culture war", something that probably would horrify President Kennedy if he suddenly returned to the world today.
