By lifting the weakest, poorest among us, we lift the rest of us as well, Bill Clinton. Well, he did lift Monica.

"Former president John F. Kennedy, Jr."
Um... John-John was never elected President (and neither was his daddy, for that matter).

Polls like this are a continued declaration of the total inadequacy of the American Educational system.

I was in a store yesterday. A sign on a shelf read “3 for $10.00.” A smaller sticker read “That's like $3.34 each.” "Like"? Oh my. And was a second sign really needed?
To: ConservativeStatement
Why?/ Maybe it was because his term was so short?

During Reagan’s presidency and for years afterwards, liberals alternatively described him as a senile dunce or the most evil man in history. At his funeral a strange transformation seemed to take place... suddenly many liberals seemed to try to claim him as one of their own. It was very strange.

Sometimes stores will have a sale that says 3 for $10 and a second notice will say but if you buy 1 its regular price.

It would have been a more interesting poll if they had made the respondents list one thing he did that they admired.

I work at a private school and one of the 8th grade boys said to me that he wanted to be like one of the Kennedy's. I told him that he is better than that and said they cheated on their wives and he should not strive to be like that.
The next day he told me that his father said I must be a Republican for saying something like that....I said it does not matter what I am but those are the facts......

I must be having a “senior moment”. Someone please remind me, apart from lowering the tax rates and a few memorable speeches, what accomplishments in foreign or domestic policy is one to associate with the Kennedy administration?

...in 1958 when an aide to New York Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Jr. suggested that city workers could be a large enough voting bloc to ensure his reelection. Wager signed an executive order authorizing city workers, notably those of the transit system, to unionize and bargain collectively. As the percentage of Americans working for the government grew, other politicians began to see support for public employee unions as a way to get votes. State politicians around the country allowed public employees to unionize shortly after Wagners executive order. President John F. Kennedy allowed federal government workers to unionize starting in 1962.

I would prefer JFK right now over both Obama AND McCain.
He was a supply-sider who hated socialism and he would have won the Vietnam War.
His death gave us LBJ and THEN America went to heck.
