Am I the only one who is not that impressed with JFK?
I mean, has everyone forgotten the Bay of Pigs, the Berlin Crisis, the 
push for thousands of 'advisors' to Vietnam?  I mean, there were several 
times when the Cold War almost became a Hot War.  I think unemployment 
was highest during the Kennedy years than any other time during the 
60's..(I'm sure someone will check me on that)
Kennedy, like Obama, was a great statesman, but was he really that great 
of a president?  He, most certainly, was an elitist, and he cheated on 
Jackie, too.  Morally, he sucked, but he talked a good game.
