In response to J.F.K. posted by LadyOnyx:


OK

Being born in 1961 limits my personal ability to judge a JFK Presidency from a personal perspective but from a historical perspective, it seems as if the greatest thing he ever did was become President at a very young age, have a beautiful wife and children, and die very young as well. Was America in love with what he did or just in love with him personally? In my reading of historical facts, it seems that his brother, Robert, actually was more of an activist than he was. BUT ... of course, growing up in a Republican home may have been a detriment to intuitively understanding the tangible things that he contributed. I do respect his standing up to Kruszchev. Can anyone enlighten me more about why he was so loved?
