holloway Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 on a serious note, a fascinating family indeed mick mac. JFK averted nuclear exchange during the cuban missile crisis and tomorrow people should well consider how different the world would be today without his influence. Nontheless, he was a notorious womaniser, rumoured also to have favoured his son over his daughter. despite his faults he is one of my personal heroes and i highly recommend robert dallek's autobiography 'kennedy; an unfinished life'.ask not what you can do...

Jah Lush Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Useless, ineffectual President who couldn't it keep in his trousers. If it wasn't for his old man's money he wouldn't have got anywhere near the White House. Best thing that ever happened to him was getting shot.

Alan Medic Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Surely every US President got there with the help of other people's money? I'd like to know why he got shot though. Given you were probably a nipper when he was around what do you base your ineffective Presidency tag on, or that he slept around?

He nearly took us to a third world war with the Cuban missile crisis, err... Vietnam, his addiction to amphetamines and his constant shagging away from home made him a security threat especially with someone as unstable as Marilyn Monroe, who was probably murdered by the CIA. I don't deny that JFK had charisma and I would say that every Irish/American whether they were catholic or protestant probably voted for him but it took an old bruiser like LBJ to bring in some of the most significant legislation in the annals of US history. Kennedy would and could never have done it. The US was well rid of him - saccharine-coating and all.As for why he got shot there are a lot of theories whether they be conspiracy ones or not and I'm sure you know the ones I am talking about.
