JFK was a loser.
His weakness at bay of pigs.........
lead to the missile crises
absolutely...
I was in high school during JFK's term, and although at first I was pleased to see somebody who didn't look and act like grandpa in office, it soon became apparent that JFK and RFK were boys trying to do men's work.
From what I have read, the older brother Joseph had some leadership skills and would have made a competent president (maybe). But by the time we worked our way down to old fat drunk Teddy, the Kennedy line looks pretty lame.
