Kennedy was a fascinating figure --
--basically groomed from birth by a scheming father for the presidency,
--a womanizer,
--the visionary that sent us to the moon and started the Peace Corps,
--and the sort of legend that can only be made by dying young.

However, Kennedy also gave us LBJ,
--who gave us the welfare state that has arguably destroyed the family
structure of black Americans over the last 35 years,
--who ramped up the Vietnam War,
--and didn't try to win it -- betraying the trust of our servicemen,
--and giving credence to a knee-jerk anti-war movement that persists
(though times have changed) to this day.

"Would he (JFK) have been reelected ?"

Humbled by your Pedigree of being a Thirteenth Generation American.

And Speaking Out of My (simple mind: I Love My Country) Ignorance.

I would have to Answer Your Question: Most Certainly YES !

TBL: JFK would have been Re-Elected [.]

I guess what 'roger' does not understand was that JFK was calling for
the American People to be "Committed" to a Life's Work in any form of
Public Service. YES - These were JOBS and most of the Volunteer
Programs have their Benefits. But... JFK was asking more of
individuals; then simply doing a 'job'. Things like a bring a Passion
to their Work. A Desire to make this Nation a Better Place for All
the People. Giving Back To America.

Since you said "I guess" you acknowledge you ignorance.

None of the comments you appended,
from you own questionable bias has
anything to do with what I said and do
not answer the question ask.

The office of the president is a distractive function,
the speeches quoted were political in nature.
Not in keeping with the proper performance of his office.

Would he have been reelected?
I wonder.
He did reduce taxes, possibly for the wrong reasons,
we will never know.
He was not a deity, nor an exceptional man.
His fame came from being assonated!
Not a satisfactory way to make a mark in history.
IMO

As for 'roger' last three lines:
* Do you suppose JFK was shot for mouthing off?
* If he had not said those things, would he still be alive?
* Would he have been elected for a second term?

'roger' evidently subscribes to the "False" Idea of the OWLES.
That it is their Duty-In-Life to Tear Down America in Words and Deads.
To Attack America's Dead Heros and Public Leaders like JFK.

The only attack was yours. Unwarented and unnecessary.
JFK was not and is not a Hero! He is DEAD!

I subscribe to the Readers Digest.
Never heard of OWLES.
I am a thirteenth generation American,
a veteran of the US ARMY 1st Division.
I do not tolerate insults from those speaking from ignorance.

I also do not subscribe to a religious following to a figure who
contributed
little to the strengths of the Construction and the limited powers the
Federal government has been permitted. Only the founders deserve such
reverence.
