I can't believe what I'am seeing. The person doing the interviewing, is actually letting the person being interviewed complete what he is saying without interrupting him. Unbelievable.

[@debrawlins6790]

This is what a proper intelligent president looks like

[@lysanderspooner4143]

He speaks coherently, in complete sentences... amazing.

[@mainman127]

Wow we once had political leadership and a media we could respect....what a concept

[@weston.weston]

He handles interviews and interviewees sooo well. He is incredibly intelligent and very natural in conversation. Oh my goodness, I am so impressed with him.

[@andreabaker544]

This November 22nd will be 58 years since he's been gone and he is still missed by so many...RIP Mr. President.

This is a respectful exchange and interview as all JFK interviews are. Very lacking today, BILATERALLY.

Classic interview with JFK! He was always a class act! God rest his soul x

[@ernestperrone2812]

This is the type of man that you call an intelligent and able leader. I wish he was leading our nation today. God grant him rest.

[@presidentceresidence5663]

This was my president.

[@swissgirlie1]

A president that can put complicated topics into understandable speech!!!

[@annbush1826]

The loss to us as a nation has grown more visible year by year. Comparing with today is sickening.

Interviews like this are great! Many people are so fixated on the assassination that its easy to forget about the depth and complexities of his presidency. I appreciate him all the more.

[@rogerstacey5689]

I was 17 when he was elected. I was very inspired by him and no president since , in my opinion, has had the leadership qualities he had. His tragic death was a great loss to our country and I don't think we've ever fully recovered from the assassination.

A brilliant man, a dreamer of what could be, 60 year's on and the tears still fall, I was 7 yo and still remember those simpler days, after that it seemed to fall apart.

[@haroldclark1787]

Eloquent, passionate, insightful, articulate, visionary and jovial when warranted. JFK is still compelling after all these years. To listen to him is to hear the voice of wisdom, and someone who truly cared about his country and the world. His loss is still palpable; the world went dark when he left, and the light never fully returned.

Just a great historical moment recorded here, and a extremely good job of interviewing the President. Thanks .

[@tomjones2202]

You mean there WAS a time when a president AND press could sit down and discuss things without name calling and mud slinging?

[@williamkelly8026]

When he isn't being "recorded" you can see the true man a little bit and you can tell he had a magnetic personality, you can tell why people wanted to be around him, and you can tell he was wicked smart.

This was the era when we had great broadcasters who weren't just talking heads
