Folks I don’t get all the hype around JFK. Now I was born after he died so maybe I just
didn’t see the magic in this guy because I didn’t live through it. But then I didn’t like Slick Willy Clinton or
Obama either and they have a great cult following too.
What I see when I look at JFK is a POTUS that was lucky
and average at best. Probably not even
that good. Today everyone would hate the
guy. .. .
He cut taxes
His foreign relations sucked, leading the USSR to assume
they could put nuke in Cuba
He almost started WWIII with the USSR in Cuba and sold us
out in Turkey to get out of it
He started Medicare/Medicade which is bankrupting our
country
He got us into Vietnam or at least well on the way into
it.
His voting record was self serving, he backed raciest
votes if it helped him, was against it when that helped
He chased anything in a skirt even more than Clinton did
So other than being killed in office, and being a martyr
that no one wants to speak ill of what did he do?
Someone please explain this to me because I don’t see it.
