John F. Kennedy united our nation unlike most of our politicians today.

John F. Kennedy was young, ambitious, adventurous, humorous, and well liked. He asked for people to make sacrifices for the good of our country. He was an inspirational leader. He was a uniter and not a divider. His presidency was cut short due to the madness of an assassin. He may not have made as many accomplishments as some of our other Presidents. However, it sure would be nice to see such a commanding and inspiring leader take the reins of the presidency.

This is true, I agree with you 100%, but there is one thing he did that I don't like, and that is what he did at the "bay of pigs"! they tell me that apparently he abandoned some soldiers working over there undercover, when they almost got caught!

The Bay of Pigs was one of the disastrous parts of Kennedy's administration. However, he stood down Kruschev during the Cuban Missile crisis. Overall, he had a good record as President.

I agree, John F. Kennedy was a wondeful leader and president,he was very ambitious,and adventurous,and he did what he had to for the country.He proved that even someone young could be smart and tactical,and run a country,is most people think that young people are headstrong,and go against authority.Its sad that his presidency and his life were cut short,because of an assasin,because if he hadnt been killed,I think the country would have been made a little stronger.I hope that in the future we see more leaders like John F. Kennedy.

Because he was a true uniter and not divider, the government saw fit to have him removed from office. It is sad when the very same people you work with and who actualy work for you are plotting against you everyday because you started to make heads turn around as you spoke the truth . . . I felt John F. Kennedy was one of the greater goods we had working in our favor as a nation ready to become globally accepted but not superiorly persevering over the next nation to be better but just equal . . .
I miss his loud voice and boisterous spirit but if the collective conscious has its way, neither republican nor democrat will come close to wat kennedy the man was all about !
