John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1961-1963)

reviewed by unclereggie

Born in 1917, John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. During the Kennedy Administration, the nation was at the height of the Cold War, with significant crises unfolding in Cuba, Vietnam and Berlin. Kennedy also had to face growing civil unrest here at home. Just 1,000 days into his term, Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas, TX.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1961-1963) 4

Adept handling of the Cuban missile crisis, but in sum, died before his full potential could be realized. Primarily, his legacy appears to be that he was a source of hope for many, as well as a profit exhorting us towards an idealistic America that, sadly, we have yet to achieve.

What would that "idealistic" America look like?

Obviously I cannot say for certain, but I know one thing: It wouldn't look anything like George W. Bush's America.
