"A strong leader can do a lot in three years."

Yes, Kennedy certainly DID a lot in his "Thousand Days", didn't he?

He did a LOT of actresses, gangster's girlfriends, and Soviet spies.

He DID a lot of drugs (of course, they were just pain relievers for his bad back- which may even have been true. But we had a seriously drug-addled President, anyway)

He did a LOT of damage to this country, by getting us heavily involved in a no-win war in SouthEast Asia.

He did a LOT to bring us close to nuclear annihilation- he was clueless about Soviet missiles in Cuba until it was very nearly too late, then he played "chicken" with the lives of several billion people to redeem his mistake.

Oh yes, a first-rate President!! ROTFL

He DID commit the US to the moon program.

He DID set up the Peace Corps.

He DID NOT commit 125,000 troops to Vietnam and was leery of the whole deal. LBJ gets blame for the war. There will be no carriers named after him.

He DID try to get rid of Castro.

The 1950's, and a whole wonderful, innocent era in American life, ended in a horrible nightmare on November 22, 1963. The entire era since then has been a trip downhill or at best, staying level for awhile, baby.
